It seems that the US is on the the path of no mitigation approach https://neherlab.org/covid19/?%7B%22population%22%3A%7B%22po...


You don't know what you're talking about. Not even close. The H0 is now well below 1.0 in the most populous states. Stop fear-mongering. What's happening is severe cases are being identified but new cases in the future (would've be two weeks from now) aren't happening at nearly the same rates. The extreme shutdowns take time to resolve existing cases and for transmission to die out to almost nothing.

Paraphrasing Bill Gates speaking to Chris Anderson: testing needs to be comprehensive and enduring shutdowns long enough to work is the prescription for losing control.

Yes emerging victorious. Tremendous victory against the virus and money printing as bonus!
