If half have already been infected, they are getting close to “herd immunity.”

Does anyone actually believe 1/2 their population has been infected already?

Where is the proof of this statement.

It does’t pass the smell test.

Coronavirus: Millions of Britons will need to contract COVID-19 for 'herd immunity ' 3/13/2020, 8:42:50 AM · by Oldeconomybuyer · 28 replies SKY News ^ | March 13, 2020 | by Greg Heffer Millions of Britons will need to contract coronavirus in order to control the impact of the disease which is likely to return "year on year", the government's chief scientific adviser has told Sky News. Around 60% of the UK population will need to become infected with coronavirus in order for society to have "herd immunity" from future outbreaks, Sir Patrick Vallance said. Herd immunity is the resistance to a contagious disease within a population because enough people have become immune, and so it is harder for it to spread.
