Good news on the case growth trend.

34. What will work once a thing like this escapes into

the general population is herd immunity, same as vaccines. Unfortunately, what will build herd immunity with this one is people who have caught it and survived it.

It's going to come at a high cost because there is no way yet to determine who will develop a severe illness and succumb and who will develop a light case and survive. However, in the absence of a vaccine, this is what will happen, the epidemic waning but a smaller number of cases still being reported until the vaccine is released--if the one in development works.

So as more people recover from it, the number of cases will diminish. It will continue to kill people until a vaccine comes out.

If antivaxers ever needed any proof of the superiority of vaccination, this disease should provide it to them.
