Why do you quote a IFR of 0.5-1% when the source that you cite for that estimate itself says they estimate a range of 0.1-0.26%. I don't know whose estimate is correct, but if you cite a source then you should use their actual estimate, not cite them for a much higher value

I agree with the problem with clusters, and no easy way out. But not "If 70 percent of your population is infected with a disease, it is by definition not prevention. How can it be? Most of the people in your country are sick!" 50% of the "sick" does not notice anything at all..

At least according to Iceland which have tested about 5% of the population:https://www.covid.is/data

It may not ‘save’ us but is almost certain to happen. There are only 3 paths - herd immunity by exposure, herd immunity by vaccine, or suppression and extinction of virus. Given that a vaccine is a year + out, and lockdowns can’t last that long...the first path is most probable.
-
So catch it, treat it and hope you don't succumb? So short term our focus should be on better/best treatment not vaccination?

Question: when you become immune from COVID-19 (or any similar infectious disease) are you still a carrier/transporter of the virus? IOW, your immune but touch an infected person, can you still carry that virus "home" to those who are not immune? It seems probable that you can...
-
Unlikely. Your immune response is what clears the virus from your system, so you might show antibodies before virus gone, and could still transmit, but once negative on PCR ( don’t have virus ) and + on antibody ( protected ) you are won’t be a carrier.
