Is it logical to assume that eventually everybody will have been exposed to covid?

I understand that we have been protecting the vulnerable, but is it fair to assume that at some point absolutely everybody will be exposed to covid?
Or will some people somehow be able to shield till the end of their natural life?
With the new way the track and trace app is going to be used and not be activated now for many people, so they won't even know if they are carrying it or have been exposed, eventually will it make its own way through the whole population?
If so is that the population of the country or the world? |

It’s a tricky one- if R drops below one for a prolonged period of time then possibly not everyone will contract it. If we get 80-85% of the population vaccinated then maybe not everyone will be infected.
The problem with Covid is that is spreads so quickly when restrictions are lifted that it overwhelms everything very quickly( both NHS and other vital services) .
Urban areas will have high seroconversion but many rural regions will avoid COVID |

Some will come into contact but not acquire infection, possibly due to genetic differences in things like receptor numbers, immune system etc
The emergence of new variants might make it irrelevant how many people have or haven't had it/developed antibodies. If the antigens on new variants are sufficiently different, it'll make a limited amount of difference in terms of stopping it circulating. |

I was wondering about this as no one in my family (whole family, not just household), from young to old has caught it, well had any symptoms, despite being out and about, working, school, medical appointments etc |

That's about right.
Unless you live in a cave, never see anyone and grow your own food.
I'd prefer to get a jab.  |

It's uncertain, as we don't know how the virus will evolve. And it may not matter too much, if the consequences are minimal.
We don't routinely vaccinate older people against HPV, as the majority have already caught this STI. It generally doesn't matter to or affect them. |
