we have flattened the curve, hospitals are empty, why are we still in quarantine (New York: offices, market)

huh? you don't have any idea if it comes back each year. Right now it looks like it's not seasonal and doesn't go away. We don't need to learn to live with it, we need to extinguish it Taiwan did it and we can too. I'm not sure why that is hard do understand. You deprive the virus of a host and it is gone. How do you do that?
quarantine those who test positive
enforce social distancing and wearing masks
use contact tracing to identify hot spots
monitor air travelers health who are entering the country
The problem is that we can't even get the selfish pigs in this country to reliably wear a mask so yeah it will probably never go away.
Then get used to it, or live in your basement.
You may also want to notice that Taiwan is an island and much smaller than Europe and NA. They also didn’t beat it and can still get a breakout.
Ummm maybe you’ve heard 30K die from it in the US each year. With and without getting the vaccine.
Try again.
30,000 in a year vs 119,000 dead in 4 months for Covid. And people who get the influenza vaccine don't usually die from influenza Maybe you should try again?

No, not selfish you are playing games here and I'm calling your bluff.
Got it. You have 'great' advice for the Covid-19 virus and call other people selfish who don't follow it but you don't want to follow that same 'great' advice to prevent the death of seasonal flu folks. 61,000 just 3 years ago. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm

I ate out at a restaurant last night, I just got back from the gym and will be heading to another restaurant shortly. I didn’t wear a mask during any of these activities but did wear one as requested when coming in.
I also have a vacation planned to Hilton Head and I likely won’t wear a mask on the beach.
Color me selfish.
Masks stop droplets, sprays and fluids. They do not stop tiny airbourne bacteria and viruses
You beat me to it.
Respirators protect you from breathing bad stuff in, but not bad stuff out.
There’s a reason why there are more than one kind of masks.
Cloth masks are the equivalent to wearing lifts in your shoes, you may feel better with them but you’re still short. In other words don’t really do anything.
