“Oh, you are saying over the next 18 months we probably all will catch COVID 19?”

Can’t say it’s 18 months, could be longer. Much longer for some, but in the end you get a vaccine or you have some degree of immunity from having prior exposure.

But 18 months is longer than we have to adapt, so treatments and mitigation will have to be priorities.

However, if we let it run amok, way more people die, we lose our HCS and the economy crashes anyway.

Preserving our HCS and limping along economically while we deploy countermeasures is the best option right now. We can ramp up the economy as we get those countermeasures deployed.

It just makes sense doesn’t it. “Catch it” probably isn’t the right term. I think “exposed” is the proper term.

This is how diseases spread. If you stay in your house...you won’t be exposed. But by the end this will be everywhere. You will be exposed and your body will react as there is no human immunity. Your body will probably attack the virus and create antibodies. It’s that simple.

Exposed doesn’t mean sick, hospitalized, or dead. Some folks are pretty loose with terms.
