Exactly my point. Widespread business closures never happened in South Korea, so we don't need them here. Masks did happen there, so we do need them here.

There has been a study on Covid virus reproduction factor in China, which showed a correlation between increasing temperature and humidity, and decreased reproduction factor. Coronaviruses also cause common colds, which also tend to go away in summer. There's every evidence that it will become easier to control in summer - most likely generating a false sense of security, since summer doesn't last forever.
Agreed that free movement of people will take a long term hit. I think free movement of goods will take less of a hit.
