You're probably right, but this sounds like the best case scenario, where people get the medical help they need. What happens when hospitals can't answer the needs of an ever-growing infected population ? Or even worse, that a poor country with a bad medical system can't control the pandemic ?

And even if it somehow happens like you predict it, it's still millions upon millions of lives lost if the epidemy becomes seasonal. But thank you for your post regardless, I indeed didn't know about the change in the mortality rate.
