It is important to recognize how horribly *NORMAL* that is.
It's only in the past century or so that humans have had any capacity to fight infection, because we had no idea how it worked until the mid-19thC, even though we had rudimentary Smallpox vaccination (and 'variolation') earlier. We didn't have safe and effective drugs to fight *any* infection until the 20thC and didn't have useful antivirals until the 1990s.
In a sense, we're all spoiled by mode…

That "summer cold" you have? It's COVID. You've got COVID. It's a fact and it's still ripping through the world completely unrestrained.
