Wearing masks and social distancing also lower the viral load people get, making the infections themselves less harmful. Additionally, as time goes on, better treatments become available, lessening the death toll and possibly the long-term impacts. And then we get to the length of time that antibodies confer immunity. There is absolutely nothing that says 25k people who get it right now cannot or will not get it again in a year.
There are many arguments, #1 everyone getting it at once overwhelmed the healthcare system, most people just don't understand this.
Shutting the country down reduced hospitalizations from car crashes etc it actually helped free up resources. .
But the short answer is, wearing a mask enables us to resume normal life, his logic that everyone will get it is just disgusting, there are many people who want to get out but can't if people don't wear masks.
Furthermore, there's no indication that "everyone will get it" because there's a vaccine in the works. ..
