I think you nailed it right here. I have to wonder how much paranoia, mistrust, hype and hysteria are around because there are not many left in our current generation who have lived through an actual serious pandemic. If you take a walk through a cemetery old enough to cover the year 1917, it is interesting (and sad) to note how many young people (young adults, children, infants) were laid to rest that year. That was the flu. How many would have been prevented had there been a vaccine?
