I agree that we had to take it seriously because we couldn’t have millions of people being sick all at once. That would have overwhelmed the system and caused supply chain issues. Now that so many have been exposed and recovering, I think we should open things back up at the end of the month. Let people assess their own risk tolerance and get back to living life as normal.
This is the thinking more and more people need to come to. I was bashed for saying this for a long time. The end resukt will be much worse if we keep on this track.

"Herd immunity tends to kick in when a country’s population (approximately 60%) gets infected and builds immunity to an illness."
No, herd immunity occurs when the proportion of the population immune results in Re being brought to <=1, meaning for this virus' range of R0, 29%-74% of the population would need immunity (the wide span is due to our still not having a firm handle on R0 for SARS-CoV-2).

Whom did you trust up until now so that you didn't have to do the math?
And why did you trust them?
