There are a couple ways to look at this. The increase in the number of cases is a bad thing, or while not preferable there is a benefit to it.

The more that get it and survive those that do now have a natural immunity to it thus one LESS person to spread it. So there is some positives not just purely negative. The other key thing is that most that get this will survive. It seems like everyone assumes this is a death sentence.

Hopefully some of these drugs that have been tested and show promise against this virus in controlled studies get wide spread distribution and start to help get this thing under control. They won't stop the spread but all indications are they have the potential to significantly reduce the mortality rate. That is a HUGE development!
