It doesn't. No amount of hiding temporarily solves the problem. Authoritarian rules would be in effect until immunity rates are above herd thresholds at a minimum. There is no "one month" shutdown in the US or a connected EU country that solves the problem permanently unless you ban international travelers / force them to quarantine for 14 days in a hotel.
Thats the sticking point for you? Who cares about international travellers. They can wait, and visit when covid is over.
Well, that for you are ordinary people (govts just echo their sentiments). They will enslave you for their benefit ( real or imaginary). They will take away your freedom under the guise of concern for your health.

Please stop perpetuating this myth that masks don't work all because you just don't like wearing one.

Linking me a bunch of public health websites isn’t convincing because these organizations don’t actually maintain epistemiological rigor, they just parrot whatever the dogma is.
The only RCT of masking for COVID-19 ever performed showed an insignificant benefit in terms of self-infection at best.
Meanwhile studies in HCW can’t rule out cloth masks causing bacterial pneumonia and increased self-infection.
And it's not "self-infection" that masking is a protection of. Nobody has claimed that. You wear a mask to protect those around you, and they wear their's to protect you.
Though it figures you are obsessed with the self and have no regard for the other.
You need to provide affirmative evidence before undertaking societal interventions with guaranteed negative impact. Does the hippocratic oath ring a bell?
For me the most annoying thing is the idea that lockdown is somehow "saving" lives. People who are dying from COVID would have died from something else 2-3 years from now. These are old, sick people, whose lives are (mostly) behind them.
If I was an 80 yo and my grand-kids were put in prison to allow me to live a couple more years, I would be even more angry than I am right now.
I am tired of wearing the god damn masks, having to worry about my elderly parents,
Are you tired of the god damn pandemic? I know I am. Because we already have no freedom.
