We were told to "flatten the curve." Everybody understood that the area under the curve would be the same, i.e. total infections would be the same. The goal was to avoid spiking over the line -- the line being health care resources. We did.

Curious whether you agree with this assessment,

I'm not disagreeing so much as not seeing it in evidence.

I actually see the argument, at least that there is something to aim at, with a bunch of unsolved problems how to get there. Now I'm waiting whether your understanding will converge to mine or vice versa.

Reason for herd immunity is “too much friction” in virus propagation. Lowering R0 contributes to “friction”. Problem is that this lower herd immunity would depend on keeping R0 lower than natural for our society until vaccine. Is *that* feasible? Don’t know. Maybe.
