Things are going to stay open even with people getting sick. In fact we KNEW more people would get sick when we opened stuff back up. We were just trying to "flatten the curve" so that everyone did not get sick at once and over tax our health care system.
So far, even with record number of new cases I have not heard about a shortage of hospital beds or respirators. Until that happens I think we will keep moving forward instead of shutting stuff back down.
Vaccine isn't necessary. A treatment is necessary.
This is a relatively mild issue for 95% of the people that encounter it, it's even smaller if you don't have underlying conditions.
