COVID-19 has no chance, as did the German or Japanese governments during the last Crisis or the Confederacy had during the previous Crisis to surrender to stop the killing. Donald Trump has not been effective in promoting the sort of regimentation necessary for defeating COVID-19; if anything the people most likely to defy him (or at least act independently of him) have been most effective in fighting the Great Menace.
The Spanish Flu was far more deadly than covid-19, and it killed young people, while covid-19 primarily kills old people who were at the end of their life anyway.
Covid-19 will not be remembered as the focus of this crisis. Whatever is to come in the next decade will be much worse.
