It’s early days yet. The vast, vast majority of people haven’t been infected yet. The “herd immunity” crowd reckon we need about 4 billion infections with no lasting immunity guaranteed. Longer term health implications, is a second infection worse than the first? So many ways this could go, especially in the developing world.
So many questions up in air I’d refrain from such pessimism (or optimism?) around the total impact.
