This continues to be incorrect. You are assuming that everyone will be infected, that that they will be offered the exact same type of medical intervention at all times and that no improvements in either treatment or in the form of a vaccine will arise. Not all of those statements are true.
Indeed, you are contradicting yourself in your desperation of selling everyone the falsehood that the economy needs to reopen at all costs.
On one hand you are telling us that the likelihood is that herd immunity is the solution - in which case slowing the spread ensures that medical services are not overrun as we saw in Italy. On the other you are telling us that the virus could die off or mutate itself out of existence the summer - in which case what's the rush? Let's sit it out til the end of August and lives will be saved.

Do you seriously believe that, jfman, or are you offering everyone false hope?

I absolutely stand by my statements here.

Not for the grieving families it wouldn't.
