Disagree, the entire population being infected was a very real and possible scenario under the no mitigation approach. Even with the current approach CDC still states publicly that they estimate between 40-70% of the US population will ultimately be infected. The flatten the curve approach does not change the total potential reach of the infection all that much, just stretches the time horizon. It is correct that the entire population is never at risk of being infected from flu, because of the existing partial herd immunity, and the reduced virulence of the disease.The entire US population is not infected with the flu every year. Likewise the entire population will not be infected with the coronavirus. That is a purely hypothetical situation and is not productive to ponder over, because it won't happen.
I don't think anyone is taking the position that the lockdown can or should be maintained indefinitely. It obviously needs to end, and in the relatively near term. The exact terms under which it ends require careful consideration though.The problem that people who are "pro lockdown" never think about, is the fact that this is not sustainable. We can't stay in our homes indefinitely.
