If that number is even close to being accurate, you're talking about millions of deaths potentially. The idea that the US should purposely try to develop a herd immunity at this point is an incredibly dangerous and irresponsible idea.

I'm really confused by this line of thinking, especially if the goal is to have as few deaths as possible while fighting this virus. I don't really talk about this topic at all on the board, but some notions are just so out there, at least IMO, it makes it hard not to respond.

Your exactly right. How many more would get sick and die to achieve herd immunity? The scary part is that if a working vaccine ( I pray we get one soon!) cannot be found, we may achieve herd immunity in the long run, but at what price.
