New variants are now emerging every 30 days. Good luck with that plan. Why is the concept that life finds a way so hard to accept? We're getting our asses kicked by this thing.
But I would agree with you if the variants would just stop creating themselves. But it doesn't seem like any immunity really lasts. So this leads to repeatedly infecting yourself with variants as they emerge (1 in 6 chance of a bad outcome of long covid or worse), become a bit of a test rat for the latest vaccine, or some combination therein.
I'm hoping we eventually get a vaccine that transcends the evolutionary range of this thing. And then we could do exactly what you're suggesting. But that's a science project and you never know how those will go.
The main concern I have is will we be a nation crippled with PTSD and long-term healthcare concerns when this is finally over with?
