Mostly, this desire to cut loose is a prayer we hear being spoken for winding the clock back, not a commentary about the reality of the future, the idea this free is free like before is potentially quite far from the truth.
I think this because at this stage the science seems to indicate natural immunity is rather poor and short lived, Sars-CoV-2 has a trick of suppressing the immune system which is why vaccines are still a far better solution than getting a Sars-CoV-2 infection. But it looks like neither, getting a vaccination or surviving an infection, is a permanent solution.
Let's hope the bean counters don't slash funding like they did back in 2003 when Sars waned, but this is also a prayer and I'm not fully confident humanity won't repeat it's same mistakes!
