The poor scenario that exists by dragging this out is that at some point (a year, 2 years, who knows) that immunity does wear off. Then, by enlogating this process you set up a scenario where the people first infected then open back up for infection prior to this virus running its course with the last groups to get infected. So you create the circle, a continuous loop, rather than a road that ends.

If it ran the course quicker, then the last group of people get it and it has no one to latch onto because the first group to get it still has immunity.

NY is testing over 100k/day. I know this “isn’t the flu,” but gosh I’d like to see how many people were walking around feeling just fine with a positive flu test if there were 100+k tests/day.

Uh, we didnt turn it into anything. Reinfection of a relatively short span is possible, Apparently. So even with vaccines you would still need a complete lock down, in order to starve it out. Which wasnt happening on a world wide scale.

Just like other seasonal diseases.

We have turned it into a giant that it isnt. Reinfection in a short span is possible but not probable.

Disease Control Measures for Flu | Clinicians' Biosecurity News

“As many as 50% of infections with normal seasonal flu may be asymptomatic, which may in part be due to pre-existing partial immunity [1]. Asymptomatic patients shed virus and can transmit the disease, but not at the same rate as symptomatic individuals, which creates an invisible “reservoir” for the virus. The implication of this is that public health disease containment measures and infection control measures, alone, may slow but cannot stop a flu epidemic.”

There are so many false positives/negatives that they are not sure if reinfection is possible yet

I agree that we have over reacted.

Seems like the government is capable of two polarities.

Completely ignoring a problem and not spending enough on it.
Or completely blowing it out of proportions, and sending way too much on it.

No middle ground.

I don't believe any of the major local networks covered it, but Knox County Schools had its first COVID-related student casualty last week:

“This past weekend she (apparently) took her own life,” he said. “We believe it was because of the stress of virtual school, isolation, lockdown and limited volleyball."
