Sad to say apart from 10% of population “possibly” having immunity I don’t see a whole lot has changed. Yes we will social distance and be more aware and will be more testing. But remember this has all happened in Spring in the warmest April on record. I dread to think of another spike in actual flu season November-February.
There's a lot of non-factual information in this statement.
10% of the population being immune is a total guess, the number could be lower or a lot higher come winter.
There's no indication that warm weather is a beneficial factor in reducing the spread or effects of the virus. Certainly another very similar virus - MERS didn't have an issue with this. It may that this is the case but there's no evidence for this right now.
Flu season spikes because there are no preventative measures being taken by people. No social distancing, no additional hygiene precautions etc...
Ultimately at this stage it's very hard to predict what COVID will be doing to the country from November onwards.
