You have repeatedly come back to this point about "no guarantee that getting Covid 19 will lead to any form of immunity."  Other than a possible "I told you so" down the road, what is the point of this argument?  

Is it that we should never leave shut down until there is a vaccine available?

Is it that we can never know what a "second wave" will look like?  Or that they will all be NYC Redux because everyone will get it again?

Do you think the US is anywhere near "herd immunity" numbers now, which is where this all comes into play?

I'm just curious what the ultimate point you're trying to make about this notion is.  And I'm not saying you're wrong; I'd like to think you are, based on what I've read about past viruses - but am more curious about the ultimate conclusion you're attempting to draw from repeatedly making this point, if any.

If getting the disease does not generate any immunity, there will be no vaccine and there will be no herd immunity in the classic sense. You can cross those off the list. If that happens, we will have people getting the disease over and over again. It will for sure kill lots of people essentially forever. Not probable, but it could happen, at least in theory.
