Since 230 thousand out of 330 million is just 0.06%, then clearly covid-19 is not very dangerous.
Especially since we could have ended it in March with accelerated herd immunity.
Really? We could have stopped it with accelerated herd immunity? Wanna talk to Sweden about that? They tried the experiment, and it failed miserably, which is why they are now starting to impose restrictions.
In the past few weeks, the country of 10 million has been smashed by Covid-19.

Sweden did NOT at all go for herd immunity.
They went with social distancing, wearing masks, closing schools, limiting restaurants, etc., except did not make it mandatory by government decree.
And accelerated herd immunity is where you deliberately infect the least vulnerable volunteers, under the protocols called variolation. The idea being that if you deliberately infect, then you know exactly who and when to quarantine. It is an ancient and well proven strategy.
Herd immunity always works, and will always have the least death toll.
Flattening the curve never has and can not possibly ever work.
