> Total war refers to the mobilization of the entirety of a country or society
Welp, by this definition, covid isn't war. At least half of society seems to be doing nothing.

I think if we (the world) had taken this as what it really is - a war, we would have been done with it by now. Even by now the production of vaccines is not sufficient to vaccinate the whole world at once. The introduction of vaccines was stupidly delayed because of non-sense ethical issues not allowing to conduct challenge studies regardless of availability of tens of thousands of healthy volunteers.
Now the enemy has made allies with the most stupid ones among us and the war is much harder to win. In principle we have lost it already as the virus has found a way to enter into other species. It will never end.
