In a large population with high density areas dotted around, you might have a better chance of stopping the spread than with a small population where a third of them already have it. So, no, I don't think it's necessarily a given that everyone will eventually be infected. New Zealand shows that it can be stopped.

Small areas are much easier to manage though. New Zealand is relatively remote, with little international travel, so it's not surprising they've managed to contain it. Some of the British isles are now COVID-free Guernsey and the Isle of Man spring to mind, but I'm sure there are others.

Whilst there are a number of clangers NZ had during their so-called handling of this, much of the severity that was curbed can be attributed to the pre-existing paranoid agriculture protection systems already in place.

Ed.Kloonk:
Trying to grasp how much more the prolonged stay at home stuff will be in place, the far right keeps pointing out that the covid cases spike should be blamed on the riots, since Americans aren't allowed to do anything else.

It leaves me with two questions. Are the riots really causing a spike and indeed preventing the drop in cases? Can the bullshit hounds on here sit though a 3.5 minute video and actually debunk the presented, cherry-picked I'm sure, 'facts'?

What are you, racist? The protests have slowed COVID. Thank whoever you like that they decided to start protesting or you'd really see what COVID could do.

On the left, mass protests...  on the right, refusing to wear masks etc. 

Only the long suffering moderate middle Americans will make it through to the other side intact!  :D
