Eventually a new flu will knock out some significant % of us, like aggressive flus do.
Worst case estimates are that about 600 million people would die from a novel flu strain before a vaccine could be created and distributed around the world. Influenza viruses don’t mutate nearly as fast as do corona viruses.
This means that a vaccine is likely not an option for this new virus. A deadly strain of corona virus could cause havoc. Fortunately, their propensity to mutate easily also works in our favor. A mutation could cause the virus to become either deadlier, remain as deadly or become even harmless to humans. It’s a crap shoot.
