> the only thing we should be contemplating is how to eradicate the virus as soon as possible.
Do you think that eradication is actually a possibility? Or are you using it as a metaphor for "contain it super well"?
There are a number of reasons why eradication is completely infeasible. In short, COVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory disease and it came from a zoonotic origin. We know there are animal reservoirs at this moment.
Therefore eradication is impossible. We've only ever eradicated two diseases in all of human history.
