Well, 2 years ago it did not. it was more of an "event". Now that it's something we have decided we can't stop (in the sense that we've done as much as we can without forcing more things - the public has reach a hard limit) it's a lot like car crashes.

We also realized (IMO realized is more accurate than decided) we can’t stop all deaths from influenza.
