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?

Obvious argument would be that treatment is improving appreciably over time. I don’t have any data to support this but it seems reasonable

That's a fair argument. Prone position, drugs, vent settings ect. Still, not sure those will make significant difference outside of miracle cute

My opinion: Eventually we achieve herd immunity - about 70% of us have antibodies. We get antibodies via surviving the illness or getting a vaccine. Letting the virus rip through the population means more of the former. Flattening the curve (hopefully) means more of the latter.
