Also, most med's currently under sars-cov2 testing, will take at least another 2-3 month's to finish tests, and once we finally discover one that works, their production will be controlled by 2-3 countries in the world, and we will have the same exact problem as in the vaccine.
I don't like it, the problem here is that i can't do a shit against this systhem. And no, there won't be 70 million people dying from coronavirus, you foirgetting that easely 25% of cases are assimptomatic.
I have have shifted from being a lockdown supporter (and i still support most of this systhem) to being someone that supports her imunity, i just don't support all people to be infected at the same time, so lockdowns must keep being a thing.
Most epidimiologists already support the herd imunity idea, because they know its spreading too fast, and that there won't be any med's for it, or when those med come out, there won't be enought to treat all of the ill people.
