Hiv is a tough analogy but in some ways a hopeful one.
Having had someone close to me with a 109 deg fever just get out who was on a ventilator for 2 weeks (along with his wife) the treatment options are possible if not probable.
I for one don’t want anyone to go through this even it is a miracle so far!
I am hopeful on a vaccine and more so on treatment but obviously it’s scary and uncertain which is my point.
But time , human ingenuity and capital should help arbitrage some facet of this I believe.
