First we assumed that since it was a coronavirus the summer wouldn't be a problem. Now we assume that if we just hurry up and infect everyone we can reach herd immunity. That is another assumption, it isn't yet clear if infection with the COVID-19 virus makes a person immune to future infection. It might be true, but the most certain among us don’t seem to be the smartest.

If SIP/masks/social distancing drag out the timeline so it takes 5 years to reach herd immunity... you'll have a mental health crisis of the millennium to deal with in addition to covid-19.
