All arguing about "herd immunity"; yes, if majority of the population develop immunity by natural exposure, it might be beneficial for society. But it too easy sounds like "the weak must die for the greater good"—it is a dangerous path for societied to go down.
To protect the weak and vulnerable until herd immunity is reached, and to minimize total deaths, counter measures should be age specific.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/covid-19-counter-measures-should-age-specific-martin-kulldorff/ …

But that seems not to be succesful to protect the weak and vulnerable. The biggest problem with "herd immunity" strategy is that it is only hypothesis. Lack of evidence.

It is naive and dangerous to think of herd immunity as a "strategy". Herd immunity is a scientific fact. The key is to minimize deaths until we get there, and that is done through age specific counter measures, to protect the weak and vulnerable.
