This is what I have been trying to get across all along.
In the end, you will see that may it be Germany, Sweden, the US, UK or Canada, a similar percentage of the population will eventually be exposed.
Herd immunity is a reality even without a vaccine and it is what will eventually stop the spread. All we accomplished is slowing things down, then just to see them pick back up when we lifted the lock down, and now with all these ridiculous measures we are slowing it down a bit, but in the end, the numbers will be near identical. Only we destroyed 1/3 of our economy and have to deal with the aftermath of all sorts of other issues.
We should have sheltered those at risk. For the rest of us it should have been business as usual. Once the disease passes those at risk can come out. Instead we had in some cases policies that actually exposed those at risk, example Quomo requiring covid positive folks to be returned to senior living facilities. Our actions delayed the inevitable and those at risk are MORE likely to be exposed since over a longer time there are more opportunities for exposure.
When it’s all over, we will have WORSE fatality rates than places like Sweden, as in deaths per 100,000. The total number exposed will be about the same. But we will have self destructed economically and lived liked worms for 6 months.
Yippie, great doing NIH, FDA and CDC!

A Lot of Heads!
We will probably reach herd immunity in a couple of months. I can’t say when for sure but it’s probable we will get there before the vaccine gets out.
