Possibly, though how often has a routine flu strain become a pandemic that overwhelms hospitals?

agreed in the early days, and i'm not scientician, but my understand was that once you've had it you become increasingly immune (or unlikely to require hospitalization).
I was more thinking about the future, than the immediate response.
Seems like someday Corona virus will be something we just get like a cold or chicken pox?

There is a chicken pox vaccine. It reduces risk of shingles later in life compared with natural infection. My parents intentionally infected me early. I still got the pox a second time as an adolescent. Both times were painful.
Please get your kids vaccinated.

And also just like the other four common coronavirus types that we already live with.
