Rob, we have all been social distancing to “flatten the curve” not to prevent infection all together. The assumption is that the virus is still going to spread. The purpose of flattening the curve is simply to reduce the strain on the healthcare system. Too many all sick at once would lead to many more deaths than if the infections are spread out over time where individuals can get the help they need. Odds are that Covid-19 is here to stay and yearly outbreaks will continue to occur (forever) like the flu. Once there is a vaccine it will help but it is here to stay. EVERYONE will eventually catch it. This year, next or 5 years from now.
