Why are we doing so poorly with the coronavirus?

The Spanish flu was over and done with in 2 years. We are in covid two and a half! And they had no vaccine!

Have you looked around? We still have the flu, it didn't disappear after two years in the 1910s, merely mutated into new variants -- that's why they have new flu shots every year. Perhaps it "ended" back then because it killed the tens of millions who were susceptible to it? That's how natural herd immunity works -- kill off anyone who is susceptible, cull the herd. COVID keeps mutating, people keep refusing to believe it's real and get vaccinated or even take precautions.
