The body needs time to heal itself from a virus, so build up your immune system to help pull yourself through in case you DO get it.

No vaccine yet. It's only a matter of time, priority and money. Treatment will come faster than a cure or vaccine.

Why were all of those banned? Do they have the virus?

Some facts and stats from another thread:

That's not worst case and I also think your figures are wrong.

First, some facts: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/summary.html
While information so far suggests that most COVID-19 illness is mild, a reportexternal icon out of China suggests serious illness occurs in 16% of cases. Older people and people of all ages with severe underlying health conditions — like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, for example — seem to be at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness.

16% severe illness is 16 times higher than your 1%.

As the link notes, it's older people and those with severe health conditions who are most at risk.

Second: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/#who-03-03-20
“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.”.....more than 80% are elderly over 60 years old, and more than 75% had underlying diseases present such as cardiovascular and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and, in some cases, tumor.

Obviously the general "3.4%" fatality rate is an average based on age, health and medical services. Trump, Biden and Bernie are all in the high risk category, but they are rich and have access to the best medicine the US can offer. A 70+ year old in a retirement home won't be so lucky.

There are 51M Americans over 65, 34M over 70. Using your worst case scenario where almost everyone is infected and the numbers below, that means 612,000 dead 65-69 year olds, 1.6M dead 70-79 year olds and 1.78M dead 80+ year olds for a grand total of 3.99M dead old people, about 1% of the total population. Not a big deal unless you're related to the 1%.

On the bright side, we can see this as God doing a little Spring Cleaning since most of this will be done with by Cinco de Mayo.
