I agree. It seems to me that the best course of action at this point is to continue aggressive safety measures. I'm not a virology expert by any means, but it kinda makes intuitive sense that natural herd immunity will build over time. I mean I've been being as careful as I reasonably can, but it's doubtful at this point that I haven't been exposed to the virus many times by now, at least in some capacity. I think some people underestimate the multifaceted nature of your odds of survival if you catch this thing. It's not just a roll of the dice; things like your viral load and your overall health matter immensely. So doing our best to make sure people aren't doing things like spending long periods of time in close proximity to one another with recycled air flow seems like what we should continue doing.
