What if the worst case scenario is true

[MmNashville]

Sorry to write one of those doom and gloom posts when no one knows yet and we don't have the facts, but what if this is like flu in that there is no 'cure' or eradication, and a vaccine only provides effective immunity across a proportion (is it 60/70% for flu) over a time limited period.

The key points of that that I am mainly/selfishly thinking about are the impact on personal lives- seeing friends and family, but also how would we make new friends or take part in some hobbies? How will we start new relationships? Will we travel again?

If there was no cure, how would we do these things? What about lost education, opportunities, fertility treatments and medical treatmment.

What if it genuinely is going to stick around? We will all be 60, 70 or 80 one day.

Also I have an underlying health condition, it is not serious, but it feels like borrowed time and luck has to run out.

Anyone else?

I agree nothing like the common cold which is pretty mild to the majority of the population. What point would there be trying to find a vaccine and anyway no funding would be available for a start. Covid-19 will probably have almost unlimited funding now and the greatest scientific minds working on it so every chance they will find something useful to help.
