I think Covid-19 will just be accepted as part of life and we will just find ways to cope with it.

CNN now on train with T-cell resistance.
Approximately half of blood that couldn’t possibly have had exposure to covid-19 reacted strongly to Sars-Cov-2. Still need more testing and information but if this pans out it would explain why cases start to level off with about low levels of positive antibodies. In the scientist’s sample of old blood, half basically had resistance/immunity without any prior exposure.
The article mentions this could be due to exposure to other forms of coronavirus. That could contribute to differences in both infection and fatality rates in different cities.
Note exposure to older strands of the flu is often cited as a reason older people did relatively well with the Spanish Flu. This idea of exposure to older/related strand of a virus conferring resistance has been observed and proven with other viral diseases as well.
I am not as confident as mrbaseball but I do agree we’re rapidly approaching the peak of Covid-19 in terms of economic impact. Through a combination of lower health impact, an altered expectation of “normal” in social interactions, and just acceptance of the risks, society will soon move on.
