There are many things we can learn from the 1918 Pandemic’s impact on society, the economy and employee behaviors.

That is most likely not the case. In perhaps a year or longer, we should have a vaccine, which based upon our experiences with other viral vaccines may be partially effective against COVID-19 . Based upon the influenza vaccines, the effectiveness in preventing an infection is between 23% and 60% depending upon the virus and the vaccine. Essentially, entire countries will have to be immunized. The alternative is that enough of us get the virus so that our society develops the “herd immunity.” We also don’t know how effective or long-lasting that vaccine will be. It is possible that the treatment could provide life-long immunity, but the prospects for that are, at this point, unknown, and probably very low- based upon the experience with influenza.To read the full article, download the PDF below.
