Sweden did not lock-down its entire economy and destroy the wealth building potential of an entire generation to protect 90 year olds with 5 morbidities from the evil deadly coronavirus. Things must be hell in Sweden right now.

Honestly, Sweden seems the closest thing to a point the skeptics have. In summary, they've done better than ppl thought they would with a significantly lighter lockdown. Their experience may well say critical things about herd immunity. I don't think it's necessarily a model tho.

Herd immunity is wishful thinking until you reach levels of infection that leave huge numbers of dead people. People are modeling the virus as a news event that will end when they get tired of it rather than as a virus.

I'm not caught up enough on the facts to comment seriously but I have been wondering if there's something to regions being largely immune after only like 20-25% getting infected. And also there's the keeping it to younger and healthier people, to build up immunity with few deaths

Keeping it to younger / healthier people is basically impossible without lockdowns that are more detailed and complex than "lock everyone down". All because progressives have a religious prohibition on isolating dangerous people - quarantining the actual sick is haram.

Right, which is one of a few areas the right could have taken advantage of to put together a better alternative than what the left and mainstream have offered. That and border controls obviously. I mean, they're apparently praiseworthy in New Zealand.

"We screwed ourselves by not importing a deadly disease, now we can't open the border without worrying about importing it" If you don't care about importing a deadly disease then you don't need to be cautious about allowing people in.
