[Repeal The 17th]

I’m still going with the assumption
that everyone gets exposed eventually.
Mask or no mask; social distancing or not,
we will all be exposed at some point.
Remember that all of this was about “flattening the curve?
Nobody ever said that we would eliminate exposure to the virus.

You are 100% correct. We will probably all get it eventually.

Our government, instead of terrifying people about testing positive for this disease, should’ve spent its time encouraging people to keep up their immune system so that when they did test positive it would give them no symptoms or very minor symptoms. Most people who test positive have no symptoms or minor symptoms for a couple of days. This is not even as bad as having a regular cold.

People who are elderly and with comorbidities, if fully informed, could make their own decisions about how much risk they wanted to take just as in all other aspects of life.

It has also always been about buying time to develop effective therapy drugs, and vaccines. That strategy seems to have paid off — we have the monoclonal antibodies, and we will soon have a dozen vaccines.

Fifty or more years ago, you would likely have been right. We'd probably all get it, before any cures were developed. Today, as Trump said, we have ‘miraculous’ drugs.
