Really interesting this. This is Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at Oxford. She argues that vastly more people have had this and that it is on its way out. Hopefully she's right hey? Though I'm not sure myself. She's certainly exceptionally intelligent either way, so its worth listening.
Give it a watch, and put it up to 1.75 speed or sumat, and it'll take about 20 minutes instead.
edit - this though at no point answers the question of 'if it was here a bit earlier, why did it take so long for the deaths to suddenly rack up?'. Shame the interviewer didn't ask that.
