If there were no herd immunity from this virus, why would the rate of new cases be dropping virtually everywhere? If this virus is THAT contagious, social distancing wouldn't be stopping it.

Despite the stories you keep hearing about how this virus is SO contagious that millions of people have already had it without even showing symptoms, in reality it is only about as contagious as a regular cold. The social distancing policies are working, by putting spatial and physical barriers to the transmission of virus. Also, most cold viruses are seasonal; if this one is seasonal as will, we should begin to see a drastic drop off soon.

Are you sure? In Sweden, they're already seeing a very dramatic dropp-off, and they never "socially distanced" as strongly as we did.

I am 100% sure our economy is falling off a cliff... despite nearly $6 TRILLION in stimulus. Layoffs are just starting. Bankruptcies are stacking up. We are teetering on total economic collapse. The kind that will kill a lot more than just the elderly and infirmed.

Just HOW SURE are you that letting young, healthy people develop their own anti-bodies is not a better path? Cause, I'm telling you, your plan dooms us all.
