In order for there to be herd immunity something like 200 million need to be infected. Also we don’t know if we can actually develop immunity in the long run, not to mention long term complications of contracting it. Also some hospitals in the states that are most populated with highest rates are sending patients to kids hospitals as they’ve ran out of space. The rates in these states are skyrocketing. And this is after like two weeks of openings. So again, how do you advocate doing it? What is the problem with wearing a mask and social distancing which the doctors are saying works, saves lives and curbs the rates.
