"Attitudes will change when we reach a saturation point."
Uh, huh. The 2nd highest death toll may arise from people who ignore the admonition 'don't hold your breath waiting' for the attitude change.
There are two things coming our way that will get everybody's attention, including Trump voters.
Very soon the death toll from the virus will surpass the number of Americans killed in WWI. That will be all over the news. That will get everybody's attention.
There will come a time when the virus will reach a saturation point. What I mean by that is, so many people will have been infected, so many people will have died, most Americans will know someone who died and almost died from the virus.
I don't think the people who are protesting against stay at home orders have been personally effected by the virus yet. I don't think there are too many people protesting stay at home orders, who know someone that has died.
When people lose someone to this virus, that changes everything. Most people do not know someone who has died from the virus yet.
There will come a time when most Americans will know someone they care about died from the virus or almost died from the virus.

12. The reaction to this virus is tracking the reaction to the 1918 virus.
The 1918 virus spread all over the world in the first wave and killed some people, while many more were unaffected by it or recovered. A similar pattern seems to be shaping up for this virus, at least on the first pass.
Once the 1918 virus was in the population worldwide, it mutated into a deadlier virus. Doctors in NYC are saying that they are seeing a shockingly large number of young, healthy people getting seriously ill from covid19, some are saying that trend is new and surprising given what was previously known about the virus.
We can go in one of two directions:
COVID19 find humans to be a decent but not perfect host, it mutates but never to a more lethal form and at some point, it burns itself out after doing a lot of damage, but not earth-shattering damage (tens of thousands of lives lost as opposed to millions). So the world recovers without every person being touched by the virus somehow.
Covid19 finds the perfect host in humans and mutates toward a SARS or MERS lethality, while still maintaining it's slower incubation rate. Covid19 is already in the neighborhood of SARS lethality at over 60% as lethal as SARS and covid19 has maintained it's slow incubation rate and tendency to asymptomatically infect some people and have them become super-spreaders.
If a mutation causes covid19 to jump SARS in lethality, even if it comes nowhere near MERS in lethality (around 70-80% fatality rate for those infected), then the world is in major trouble if covid19 keeps it's tendencies on incubation duration, which is possible, the 1918 virus did that exact thing. What some medical people are reporting vis seeing young healthy people fell, says covid19 may be mutating in a direction that is going to make it deadlier to everyone.
