> Vaccines might not work. That's not the point I am making. The only solution to virus spreading is immunity. It can either come from a vaccine or it can come from infections themselves. This virus falls within a virus category. Should the population not be immune to the virus, the flare ups will occur. > We need drugs before vaccines, to be able to treat the disease and/or its sympthoms and hopefully make sure patients don't end up in ICUs That's managing flare ups. Look at measles in non-vaccinated pockets of NYS: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2019/09/us-measl... The immunity rate (mostly via vaccination) for measles in the US is over 91%. The immunity rate for COVID-19 in the US would be a percentage of people who were infected since there's no vaccine. |

It is unclear whether Covid-19 confers SARS-CoV-2 immunity. There are conflicting data, with some for future immunity out of China and Germany and some against out of Korea [1].
