I think you greatly underestimate the number of people who would be in the hospital if COVID ping-ponged around 350 million people.
That makes zero sense. More people get COVID at once the more people end up in the hospital at once. You are really not very bright.
How did you handle COVID?
Wrong.
Take Fauci's death estimate for herd immunity of 2.4 million.
He took 70% of 330 million, and multiplied by the 2% lethality he had been told a that time.
But it is obvious why that is all wrong.
He did not know about the asymptomatic who not only were already immune naturally, but since they were not being recorded, then 2% of those infected were not dying, it was more like 0.2%.
Then he had not yet figured out that those under 40 and healthy, were 400 times less at risk for dying then the over 70 group who were most of the actual deaths.
So if you deliberately infect those under 40, you have to divide Fauci's 2.4 million by 400, and you get only 6,000 deaths.
And you are totally wrong about hospital over crowding.
It took over 6 months to get hospitals even close to filling up.
If we had ended it with herd immunity last March, the hospitals would have been near empty.
Time is of the essence with any geometric growth epidemic.
Flattening the curve never could reduce R0 to less than 1, so it was always growing and spreading wider and deeper.
Flattening the curve is the single worst possible thing to ever do.
Hospital over crowding took a very long time.
A rapid end with herd immunity would have prevented that.
