This is the worst fan fiction I've read in awhile.
>4% of the USA has been infected; you're not getting herd immunity... you never were going to get it. it would kill your population before that could happen.
it's very easy to cherry pick a chart that supports a statement, but if you consider infection rate, death rate, lack of support infra, etc., there is no chance herd immunity would work.
You'd have to ignore the cascade through the population. It really doesn't help that a large portion of the population thinks it's a lie.
Yet another suggested solution to the covid crisis that assumes we can agree on facts and adopt the kind of coordinated social policy that we've clearly demonstrated we're not capable of.
If all of us would respect an ultrastrict quarantine for 14 days, then agree to use masks and social distancing for the next month, the case rate would plumet, and the economy could start to recover in earnest.
All of the people who want to deny reality are dragging down those of us who are similarly frustrated, but willing to confront it with scientifically valid solutions.
