What you do mean, "What do you mean that science might save us from our stupity"? Have you been asleep for 258 pages? Come on man, pay attention. China's economy is already recovering because they controlled the virus. We're too stupid and selfish to properly wear masks. Pretty clear what I meant.
There are already drugs in the pipeline to suppress Factor D, so it could be pretty quick. Also, I can't find anything on Famotidine's (Pepcid) affects on factor D, but it could explain why it's been effective at cutting intubation and death in half in at least 3 studies to date. There's another really large study in progress right now, that everyone is waiting on the results for. I'm trying to do more reading on it now, but until now, no one would have had a reason to study the affects of an H2 inhibitor on Factor D. If one of the drugs in the approval process now or Famotidine is shown to suppress Factor D effectively, it would make Covid much less a threat. Combined with a safe and effective vaccine, it would effectively end this threat, despite the stupidity of those that refuse to properly wear a mask, distance and avoid large crowds.
