I'm thankful that the primary source of our woe is the human factor. If left unchecked globally, I have zero doubt that this would have been a virus that kills tens if not hundreds of millions eventually. If my primary source of woe was the virus killing my loved ones, and humanity hadn't done anything to remediate it, that would be infinitely worse.
1918, Spanish Flu. 1/3rd of the world’s population caught the virus during the pandemic and between 50 million and 100 million people were killed.
Prefer that?
