It's was pitched that way but you look at what they are doing with the
"numbers" is totally fictitious...

Well... here we are one week later, and we just ticked over 1
million confirmed infections in the US. Let's hope that's the tip
of the iceberg, and that the actual infections is in the
neighborhood of 50-80 million. I don't believe the number is
actually that high, but I would believe something around 5-8
million. Either way, it is still just speculation.

What are the treatments that are now working? I try to be
optimistic about antivirals and convalescent plasma, but right
now they mainly have ventilators, which honestly aren’t very
successful if 70-80% of the people die. They keep doing that
because it’s the textbook therapy for respiratory distress, but
it ain’t working. Even if it were working, ventilators are not
a treatment, they don’t reverse the disease, they are just a
measure to get you oxygen while your body hopefully fights the
infection. And then you have the people experiencing kidney
failure and needing dialysis, they’re not sure if the damage is
permanent.
I hope you’re right that the medical community has learned how
to treat it, but I haven’t heard the evidence for that.
Regarding a vaccine, one interesting piece of information I read
was that even if they develop a successful and safe vaccine
(many challenges including the sensitization problem), then they
have to scale up vaccine production. Right now most vaccines
are just for each new wave of schoolchildren, this would have to
be for the entire population. And not in chicken eggs, it would
have to be in big vats. And the interesting part is they could
repurpose fermentation tanks used for things like brewing beer.

Time will tell based on whether it actually starts declining in
a meaningful way, or whether we're going to bump along for a
bit. Remember, the goal was to flatten the curve; it wasn't
necessarily going to reduce the number of infections. I get the
impression that the medical community has learned a lot about
how to actually treat it.
Let's see where we are a week from today (April 27). If we are
over 1 million infections, this may be going a while yet. If it
is under 1 million, I would be more encouraged.
