For instance, if you look up the table beneath the VALUES side-heading in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potential, you would notice that from 1995IPCC to the recent one, Scientists are getting more and more closer to ~80 GWP.

Global Warming Potential of Methane over a 20 year Time period is a bit more than 80 times that of CO2. https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/understanding-global-warmin...

So, redrawing your path by your method, if we remove ALL of the Atmospheric Methane today, we would be reducing GHG concentrations by about 160ppm CO2 equivalent, which takes the overall CO2 concentrations to less than that of pre-industrial levels(280ppm), 260ppm.

This negates your conclusion that we would hardly observe ANY difference.

If we remove literally all of the Methane today, we would have solved Global warming from the perspective of concentration of Green House gases and will just have to wait and watch for the Global Temperatures to catch up (meaning they will go down).

Which most likely is also true when it comes to predicting and managing long-term effects due to Covid, as indicated by these experiences of Covid 'long haulers' https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/08/long-haul...

I'm not sure of Human societies operating 'just fine' with the risk of flu. We seem to operate just fine NOW because we make vaccines for the flu every year, and we have several years of experience in terms of Herd Immunity and Medical assistance.

We also do not have medical personnel dying in hundreds from flu every year as they catch it in line of service.

And the baseline of flu u refer to DID NOT HELP much with predicting or managing clots in almost every major organ when it comes to COVID. Sure, we have blood thinners etc. But when u hear from frontline workers in hospitals, the situation with clots is pretty dire. And this is a much bigger deal and the overlap with flu is very little, even in patients tht may seem to have recovered frm Covid. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/14/health/coronavirus-stroke...

Ash from the volcanoes on the other hand,can cause cooling depending on,among other factors,their composition.

For example, the cooling observed due to Mount Pinatubo is due to Sulphuric Acid aerosol particles.

My concern is, if the risk of transmission is more indoors than outdoors as this study indicates(https://theprint.in/health/sharing-indoor-space-major-infect...), Is staying at home making people Vit-D deficient coz of less exposure to sunlight?

And If this is true, is it one of the factors responsible for severe Covid19 outcomes?

Is this also the reason why old folks are severely affected from Covid19, coz they may tend to stay indoors more, relative to other age groups?

"For any country contemplating these issues, another crucial question is how solid is the assumption that antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein equate to functional protection?Furthermore, if presence of these antibodies is protective, how can it be decided what proportion of the population requires these antibodies to mitigate subsequent waves of cases of COVID-19?"

"Furthermore, studies in COVID-19 show that 10–20% of symptomatically infected people have little or no detectable antibody."

We need more data, which I understand scientists all over the world are working relentlessly to deliver, to believe that 'you won't reinfect once you get it'
