I am well aware of the numbers in South Korea. The virus is still spreading. There are still new cases, every day.
We have managed to eliminate one human virus in history: smallpox. And we only did that through mass vaccination.
We have never eliminated a respiratory virus, nor have we ever developed a successful vaccine against a coronavirus, despite huge financial incentives to do it.
The inevitable outcome here is herd immunity. Maybe we’ll get there by vaccine, but not for a long time.
