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?

For the majority of the country the hospital capacity is fine. Politicians making smart decisions, well.

You can’t know that because the lead time and latency in cases can simply be enormous! Current status does not tell what will come crashing down later, when it crashes down its already too late.

Oh yeah. Go back to work and outwit the virus so we limit those of who get sick and die to the hospitals’ capacity. Sure. “Be smart” doesn’t prevent people who must work side by side from getting the virus. Look at South Korea. Look at Germany. And look at us. This is absurd.

Germany is no wonder... US 105 is closer to Germany 48 by far than Italy 367 or Spain 413 in terms of deaths per million of total population. S Korea at 4 per million is impressive. Story not over yet at all but not even the worst countries seem destined to double annual deaths

This is not about hospital capacity, immune compromised are not going to a hospital, they are more likely to just visit the morgue. Increasing there odds of contact is....well it shows a dangerous line of thinking. Economy will come back around, the dead don’t. Hopefully.

Hospital staff are paying the price for political decisions. New rule for those areas that want to Open Up: If you contract CV You stay home and recover or you die at home. CV patients would not be allowed in hospitals.

I believe that's what the government guidelines basically said

A lot of people don't seem to get this though. I see people talking about eliminating the virus, like that's even in the cards.

I agree. I thought the original lockdown premise was to protect hospital capacity. Any place with open capacity should be an open area. Any place.
