So having killed 1.6 million in the US alone and run ICU at 100% for a year, you’re just going to hope people remain immune and the virus doesn’t mutate having passed through billions of people worldwide?

The alternative being...? We know that covid-19 will likely mutate, just like other coronaviruses, H1N1 and its mutations are still around every year; are you suggesting we must remain in quarantine until we both create a vaccine for covid-19 and then every fall quarantine until we're able to develop a vaccine for that year's bout of viruses?
