highly oppressive nations (think China) they can literally lock citizens into 'bubbles' until the virus spread is contained...we won't do that (unless, God forbid, we get hit with a rampant Ebola pandemic and its observable gruesome manifestations), so it's up to our Public Service leadership to 'show the way' and hope that they are convincing enough that 80+% of the population will do the right thing until the combination of vaccinations and continued mitigation efforts drive the case/death numbers to levels at least as low as the 'Seasonal Flu'...BTW, I'm as interested as you in finding out what those numbers will be...but they won't be the extremes you fear.
Hopefully, you'll be happy to get in line for your vaccine shot(s) and still have the stamina to practice mitigation measures until this Summer/Fall...pass the word to all your friends and family.
Meanwhile...Thank God for Golf!...it has been a mental lifesaver for me and my buds.
