the virus will keep doing fine in the USA and Brasil as long the people in these country are divided by their opinions.

You cant safe a house from fire if you put water only on half of it and say the fire on the other half will just go away like a miracle

Both sides are correct here, fire fighting can reduce damage (but comes with its own risks) but a fire will burn itself out eventually.

If one half is dousing while the other side lets burn both tactics will be negatively impacted (the fire in the doused area will keep reigniting and the burn out will take longer). If both tactics are used there are strategic decisions on where to douse (which parts we can not allow to be damaged).

It's being described by epidemiologists/immunologist as more of a forest fire than a house fire. A small, but important distinction. The biggest takeaway is that it's likely here for at least one generation, if not much longer.

"I'm actually of the mind right now, I think this [COVID-19] is more like a forest fire. I don't think that this is going to slow down. I'm not sure that the influenza analogy applies anymore. I think that wherever there is wood to burn, this fire is going to burn. And right now we have a lot of susceptible people." Osterholm - Meet the Press, Jun 21, 2020

"Right now we are experiencing a national forest fire of COVID that is readily consuming any human wood that's available to burn. When you have something like this happening, there's no way that traditional testing and tracing is going to have any meaningful impact....I liken it to trying to plant your petunias in the middle of a Category 5 hurricane." Osterholm - NPR, Jul 28, 2020

On Jan. 20, just nine days after Chinese health authorities published the DNA sequence for a new coronavirus that had sickened dozens of people in China, Dr. Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, wrote in an email: “I’m certain this will cause our next pandemic.”

"Effective and safe vaccines and hopefully ones with some durability will be very important, even critical tools, in fighting it. But the whole world is going to be experiencing COVID-19 ‘til the end of time. We’re not going to be vaccinating our way out of this to eight-plus billion people in the world right now."

...

Osterholm: Right. And everyone’s expecting it. Look at Hong Kong, which is doing an outstanding public health follow up, and yet they are still having a problem. Think of this like a big forest fire. If you’re in the way of it, you’re going to get burned. The best we can do is try to put out as much as we can. But even knowing that, if you just suppress it, it’s going to come back. The embers are still there because we never really put it out.

The "pandemic" doesn't exist. Only in your mind if u want it to.

They've got people believing something happening that isn't happening. Why wouldn't they make it last forever.

Shutting things down just presses pause. The virus will continue spreading as soon as things open again. We cannot keep things shut forever so it makes no sense to shut them at all. People should practice common sense and take steps to protect themselves based on how vulnerable they are to the virus. Everyone else should be permitted to get on with their lives.
