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.

I have made no such assumptions, jfman. You are again twisting this to suit your own argumentative agenda. If you are going to comment on my posts, at least get the quotes right.
I accept that we might get a vaccine sooner rather than later, but that's just a hope, not a fact, and mass distribution of that vaccine is unlikely to be available at all this year. You are clutching at straws and giving false hope by describing the absolutely best case scenario, which is most unlike you!

There is a single species responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic and that is us humans.
If humans don't learn from this pandemic then future pandemics will inevitably be worse then this one.

A pretty good observation, Den.
