That's not what you said though:
"There is no way to completely avoid the coronavirus whilst interacting with other humans unless it's simply not prevalent in your area (e.g. Australia, NZ)."
<snip - here you did say something about events but your generalization on top seems overriding>
"I don't understand how an intelligent person couldn't simply derive this from first principles, it's been eleven months or so now.
Do they exist in a different world to the rest of us or what? Most people I know, unless they're barricaded inside, have pretty much accepted that they're going to get it, the last study I read indicated that 1 in 4 individuals in the UK have already been infected."
If you simply said what you're saying in your reply I'd simply upvote that and not argue, since yeah, that's a pretty good observation, you can't test your way into a 100% safe event, sure.
Probably just a miscommunication.
