So a large percentage of the population have not been exposed? Do you not see this as a problem? That means that these vulnerable people will get sick when covid returns in a few months? The only thing that delay buys us is time to develop an immunization which will take years.

Yes, some of the earlier estimates for a vaccine to market are for around next spring.
They're seeing a decrease in hospitalizations in New York, though, so we'll wait and see if that trend continues. Maybe the virus is mutating towards weakness, as so many others have. And there's warm weather, although we haven't seen the expected warming trend, yet.
