Hensley says that this is because the population “is more immunologically naive than what we would expect in most years”. Normally, children get infected by their second birthday. Now, “you’re going to end up having kids that are three, four years of age right now who have never seen RSV”.

...it reminds me of the phenomenon that, the longer you go between busts/economic recessions, the worse they tend to be, because you will tend to have more zombie companies ready to go under. Sometimes what seems like preventing a problem, is actually just storing up problems to experience all at once at a later date.
