Mindmeld,
I think you missed the point. If a large portion of the population already has the virus and showed no symptoms or mild symptoms, then there is nothing that can be done to stop the spread, nor should we, because the virus is not as deadly as we thought it was.
I think you missed MY point.

Whether or not you believe that the death rate for coronavirus is actually 1-10%, or whether you think the infection rate of coronavirus is much higher than previously expected, the end result is the same. We're going to end up with many people getting severely sick. Hospitals are going to be crushed, and people will die as a result.

If anything, the higher than expected infection rates could point to what happens when a lockdown is issued too late. And the insidious nature of the coronavirus' spread means that the time window for an effective lockdown is very short.

I keep repeating about the difference between California and New York because the differences are striking, and they support my view that New York was a few days too late in issuing a lockdown. Maybe even a week late, i.e. they should have announced a lockdown BEFORE California did.
