If we had let this virus run its course, we would have had a few more deaths earlier in the infection cycle followed by its virtual elimination by the end of this summer as an all-encompassing public health concern.
That's true, but understated. The estimated deaths from a "herd immunity" strategy would have been around 10 millon Americans, or about 3% of the population
wrong. the mortality rate would not be any different than it is today, .08% and mostly old people with underlying serious medical issues. they are now claiming that 3 million americans have tested positive (less than 1% of the population) and thats if you believe the reported testing data which has been proven wrong many times already.
