#10 If immunity only lasts 3 months, then this will be a regular cycle. And masks could make it worse. By slowing down infection rates to a longer period than the 3 months to lose immunity you make this a perpetual cycle. Fun. Of course, that won't happen, because masks in practice do nothing.

#11 People still have SARS coronavirus immunity today, and also immunity to similar cold corona viruses, so there is some question in my mind whether SARS-2/COVID-19 conveys similar long-term immunity. We’ll see, but I notice the tendency to run with worst case scenarios.
