That is not entirely clear. It is possible that having more infections during the summer might actually be good overall because there was lighter load on medical facilities and immunity does appear to hold for a while after infection.

That is way off. There is no need for exponential spread to trigger an epidemic. Currently the most accurate model for the spread of CoV2-SARS is from Michael Levitt and shows that exponential spread is completely impossible. That does not rule out fast spreading or mean we should relax, but it is important to understand that exponential spread is really bad and we have not seen that.
