There will be some respite over summer, but come flu season there's an excellent chance that all hell breaks loose all over again.

But, since 100,000 dead so far is no big deal, it's about time we get over petty BS like 9-11 and the Vietnam war. Suck it up Americans, and just go shopping.

Yeah, having a difficult time here understanding the disregard for human life in all this. We can prevent deaths. People are just choosing not to, and for selfish reasons to boot. We had 100k deaths in 2.5 months with some mitigation. Somehow people think it is miraculously going away. Meanwhile there are still 1k+ deaths per day. The virus is starting to spike in the areas that "opened", like 30-40% spikes in cases. So it is your choice to let people die, call it over, and give in than rather than suck it up and deal with some hardships. Seems like a cowards way out, maybe even suicidal. Either way it is pretty shitty. We can mitigate this.
