From what I can tell we have already passed peak government response. Sure i could continue locking myself down, quit and get a WFH job so that i can survive, and just basically never do anything else.
Is that only reasonable response to just get COVID and toss the dice that it'll be mild?
Lower viral load means you're less likely to get severe symptoms and hopefully have a lower chance at getting long covid. Hospital system is fucked and even minor symptoms could become deadly if medical care doesn't exist while those are collapsing.
