> Is there proof getting covid grants lifetime immunity?

No, and there never will be since medicine is not mathematics. But nor is there any reason to believe our immune systems can't deal with this virus like they deal with any other virus.

> Are you ok with 250k deaths a year from covid every year going forward?

250k/7.8 billions = 0.003%. Yes, I'm fine with that.

> Why risk the lives of tens of thousands of people when we can just all wear a mask and get vaccinated?

That's a hypothetical question considering we don't have a vaccine yet and masks are hardly the only restrictions.
