Yep... that's the myth. The reality is that if it were handled properly, like a normal flu (except in the hot zones), we'd get herd immunity very quickly (which will prevent relapses).
Fortunately we're not 100% under lockdown, so we can go to the store, exercise, etc... and smart people are doing that vs. staying at home LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T... But it's causing more damage than it's helping clearly.
SO let's end this nonsense, get back to work, and NEVER EVER DO THIS AGAIN.
