That's patently false. Blood clots, permanent lung and/or heart damage, neurological damage, etc.
Florida is showing us the way, right now.
Then go hang out in Miami.
Sure. Like every other viral and bacterial infection.
WDW is reaping the benefits of ”the way” right now with moth balled resorts, reduced park hours and at least based on that one union 56% of the workers still out of work. Certainly not the economic nirvana we were all promised
Brazil Coronavirus Map and Case Count (Published 2023)
See the latest charts and maps of coronavirus cases, deaths and vaccinations in Brazil.www.nytimes.com
Explain Brazil. Their case rate keeps increasing. Sometimes they reach a plateau, but then it starts climbing again. Their death rate has been stuck in the same daily range since the end of May. When does Brazil get this relief that is inevitable because of virus mechanics, regardless of intervention? Sao Paolo has been the epicenter for a long time, but unlike NYC it is still the driver of Brazil's high numbers.
If it just happens, no interventions, it should happen in countries rich and poor, large and small. It's not. Explain why.
Is it the magical other virus that may be responsible for T-cell cross-reactivity. This virus travels the world, but that virus skipped Brazil? Not enough people brought it back with them from their WDW vacations?
FWIW, my answer is despite theoretical lockdowns and mask rules in Brazil, the people didn't "buy in," enforcement is non-existent, so human behavior did not change at the same level as in other countries. This is the result.

Ah, that’s true. Things aren’t perfect. Much of the country is still not allowed to travel to or from Florida. So that’s tough for A vacation destination. Luckily Florida kept their nerve, and will come out the other side of this with herd immunity. And they will be safer for it. Their economy will be stronger. Their long term health outlook will be better. And they won’t have to deal with any potential second wave.WDW is reaping the benefits of ”the way” right now with moth balled resorts, reduced park hours and at least based on that one union 56% of the workers still out of work.

That doesn’t happen to most people. A small amount, yes. To the majority. No. The vast majority come out fine. I’m not using this an excuse to do something or nothing. But this is accurate.
I hope that’s true, but it’s really nothing more than a wish. I wished the virus was seasonal and would go away in the summer, I wished the virus would just disappear like SARS (never to be seen again), I hoped those stupid models that showed no deaths by mid-July were actually going to be true. I hoped people could control themselves and follow basic safety precautions for the better of everyone. Wishing and hoping hasn’t gotten me anywhere so far with this virus but maybe this time it will.
Sweden? London? New York? New Jersey?
It’s a nice theory but there’s no proof there is herd immunity any of those places. I know what your theory is and it’s possible it’s true, but it’s also possible it’s not. You can’t say for sure that’s the case if you are being honest. It’s a good hope though.
Here’s the thing. The things that are unproven are the measures we put in place in March and kept in place for months. We threw out decades of epidemiological knowledge in an instant. It’s terrifying.
The shelter-in-place was a failure because people got tired of staying home and leaders reopened too quickly. Now here we are with mask mandates and physical distancing with no personal responsibility or accountability from people and leaders.Erm, except, people did actually voluntarily shelter in place during the lockdown:

Yes, Florida's order was not as strict as say NY; and i believe the merits of what reopened when can definitely be debated (looking at you crowded bars, youth sports leagues, etc.); and we should be wearing masks, avoiding large groups, etc.
But it's not *quite* accurate to say "there wasn't really a shelter-in-place because people". People were staying home and self "locking down"
This Peru where 7-day averages show cases are climbing, and deaths are in a plateau?
