Below taken from another source. First guy (italics) is a fag who sounds scared of everything. Second guy (bold) nails it.
I would say the end is more than 12 months away providing we continue with distancing, and can produce a vaccine.
The death rate will be reduced if we continue to protect the children, the elderly and those with health concerns.
This virus can infect us for too long without us showing symptoms and this means we can’t effectively control community transfer without using mass testing.
Early testing will also reduce the spreading of high virus loads from asymptomatic carriers.
If we can reduce the virus load passed on to the next person then that person may recover more quickly and with less damage.
Only 100% community cooperation can stop this and this will just not happen short or long term.
Too many in the community are indifferent but herd immunity equals too many losses.
Let’s say for the sake of conversation you are 100% correct. At the end of the year you won’t see much of a society left. 90% of all businesses will be permanently closed and that includes large businesses. Unemployment won’t even be able to be calculated it will be so high more than likely well above 50 or 60%. By then sports teams would probably try to get back together but who would care? The world would resemble something like the late 1890s. Yes we would still have electricity and plumbing but most people would have to live in the slums by that point in time. I’m starting to become convinced that most people just have no understanding of the permanent damage we are doing. Last week alone we had well over 3 million people apply for unemployment. That’s four times more than the last record from 1980. That was in one week. We are going to social distance ourselves right into the Stone Age.
You mentioned the death rate. Just to keep things in perspective as I type this we’ve lost close to 49,000 people worldwide due to COVID-19. In the US alone we’ve lost 59,000 people to the flu this year. That’s in the last six months.

NYC is utilizing 13% of its available hospital beds. 13%. We were told to expect Armageddon. So who fucked that up? I could understand if NYC was utilizing 75% and were off projections by 25%, but off by 87%?
THrow in the deaths due to pneumonia, heart disease, the flue, etc that were attributed to Covirus and one can see that we all need to focus on getting back to work soon or the financial hardship and ruin will affect billions more than those who have gotten sick.
