This is a great, level-headed TED talk from the man who eradicated smallpox about the current state of affairs of COVID-19. Yes, it’s a terrible disease and a serious pandemic, yes it’s more deadly than we thought it would be, yes we could have handled it better, and yes it will take a long time to get a vaccine. But we have handled it much better and were more prepared than we have been in the past. This is not the zombie apocalypse and most people in the world will not die. We are now in an age where pandemics are the norm and we will have to adapt.
