For herd immunity to play a role, a significant portion of the population would need to have had the disease. It seems very unlikely that more than 1 or 2 percent of the population has had it so far, unless the vast, vast majority of people getting it have no symptoms, but there is no evidence to support that.
I agree the predictions were way off, but we are talking about real numbers here.
The number of people hospitalized in NY has dropped sharply over the past few days. There has to be a reason for that.
Very unlikely.

I would be more inclined to believe your expert inside knowledge if you knew the proper spelling of "herd".
