Joachim,
So by your reasoning Covid went away because of vaccines, social isolation and masks? Why did Spanish Flu go away?
Both pandemics eventually went away once herd immunity was built up. (China learned that the hard way.)

The question is how to get to herd immunity in the first place.

You can either do it the Darwinian way, a.k.a. nAtUrAl iMmUnItY.

Or you can get help, which is what the mRNA vaccines did.

That's why the overall death rate of COVID-19 dropped from 2.8% to 1%, whereas the death rate of Spanish flu was around 2.5%.

Nope

If people had stayed home for a couple months the virus would be gone.

Without an infected host and uninfected ones to transmit to it simply runs into a dead end.

The process used to eliminate small pox back in the 1970's

But hey,

You have to have your freedom!
