Yes that's how I read the parent post's comment -- arguing with sarcasm that we should take additional interventions to limit SARS-CoV-2 spread due to the unknown future risks of surviving infection. Measures could for example include vaccine mandates (to the extent that they limits spread?) or nonpharmaceutical interventions such as mandatory ventilation upgrades to 4-6 ACH of MERV13+ filtered air in spaces where people congregate. Tough to do the calculus on unknown risks vs. the cost of mitigation, but personally I'm pretty mad that during the ONE time we stopped ignoring the healthy building people, they didn't muster the political capital to create better ventilation in quasi-public spaces. I'm also a little disappointed that our celebration of each milestone in returning to normal has not included a somber recognition that society was taking extraordinary steps to protect people who are at risk and that because we can no longer afford to take those steps, some of those people will die. I think it's an acceptable trade-off -- we didn't protect everyone before the pandemic and we won't do it afterwards -- but I don't think it's something to be happy about.
