California Covid-19 traffic report finds silver lining

You are not taking at all into account the likelihood of suffering permanent life-long damage to lungs, hearth, kidneys and brain[0] which makes you predisposed to develop other painful (and sometimes fatal) conditions.

Also there is not enough evidence to believe COVID happens only once per person[1]

South Korea, the country with the best testing so far has reported 116 people re-infected[2], so there IS evidence about it happening.

There's also no evidence it doesn't. What we do know is that the disease hasn't mutated significantly to date, and we see strong antibody response. [1] In time, we'll have a vaccine and it may require a number of booster shots, but what we know so far suggest reason for optimism, not pessimism.
