Thought experiment: Given that flattening the curve simply postpones infections as opposed to stopping them, should the places with the least current impact be trying to AVOID infections or trying to INCREASE infections to get herd immunity, short of crashing hospitals?

And treatment option evidence is rapidly improving, so we shouldn't forget that part, too.

A functional vaccine would provide a way to get immunity with less danger so delaying infection to give time to develop a vaccine has value.

SARS is a coronavirus and they haven't been able to develop a vaccine for that yet. There's no guarantee they'll be able to develop one for this virus.

Conceptual herd immunity is going to be easier than actual herd immunity....if there is such a thing with this virus. The reporting from Fox made it too clear that it definitely was not a bio weapon.

That is such a big unknown. Imagine barely making it alive out of a hospital and then having to deal with it all over again in the fall.

Yep. This is where I was a long time ago. There’s almost no way to avoid getting it. Hope is that when I do it’s either mild or there are therapeutics that work or the hospital is not very full! That’s about all you can hope for.

Correct, we can't stop people from getting it, we have a very hard time dealing with that prospect.
