Predicted recurrence of C-19

Here's another C-19 prediction:  here in Australia they're calling it the "once in a hundred years" pandemic -- but really, i think that there will be a worldwide pandemic every ten to twenty years (but hopefully more like twenty years).

It won't be great -- but, similar to people who live in flood zones, hurricane regions, or places that experience forest fires:  you adapt; you fall into a pattern.

Next time the world will have a better sense of how to address these things:  much like a tornado warning in the American Midwest:  you take cover early, wait it out, and come out after the danger has passed.  So I reckon the next time around, countries will call their people home sooner; we'll get better with quarantining people from the get-go; and we'll just take three weeks or so of lock-down right at the beginning.  Which hopefully will mean a shorter over-all period of trouble -- because everyone nipped it in the bud right away.

That's my prediction:  every twenty years or so; and, we'll better know how to address it.

To get this date-stamped in the "Comments" section: worldwide pandemics every twenty years or so (maybe every ten); but, the world would have learned how to act **early**, so it gets nipped in the bud and doesn't spiral out of control.

Since things would happen earlier in the future -- Does this mean that the American president would announce in January (when scientists started worrying about the virus) instead of in April that injections of disinfectant and UV light inside the body would be a good idea?
