2.5 million lost lives according to this estimate: Coronavirus Today: The costs of herd immunity - Los Angeles Times
...another 230,000 in this one (and declaration of it as a very bad idea): Is herd immunity the answer to the COVID-19 problem? | UCHealth Today
'''The death toll would be enormous,''' Fauci says of herd immunity to coronavirus in the U.S.
For this so-called, shot in the dark herd immunity, you need 60% of the population infected. At a 1% death rate, that is over 2,000,000.
Its a very bad idea. I do live in fear of people that do not follow the science and shoot from the hip, their ideas tend to be very bad. If Trump thinks this is a good idea, let him lead. He can be the first one infected in our herd immunity drive.
I'm one likely to pay for it the rest of my life if I get it.
Can I tell the herd immunity guys to go **** themselves?
They certainly don't want to feed me while they do what's best for the donor class.
Do what's right for you.. stay home and be safe if needbe.

Actually, l would like to get back to work.
You idiots are making it take longer.
I think I would be safer if y'all died.
Think we can make that happen?
Since we're sanctioning an approach that will kill thousands more than need be and all.
I can't imagine my way would be worse. I would enjoy it, anyway.
I have had two valued employees - friends, for that matter - die from this ****.
And then listening to TP here, telling us to just let the disease have it's way.
It strains my good nature.

off topic personal aside:
wowwwwww
Personally, I find it beyond my perception to comprehend
the dissatisfaction, fear, and vengeance you seem to hold.
Often, gratitude, happiness, and joy must be sought;
It is my sincere wish that those awarenesses will find you.
happiness to you sir,
goodnight.
I am sorry to hear that, it is a bitch of a virus. My girlfriend and I had it in June, we were lucky it was mild, it could have been much worse.
It's about time ! Virus gotta' Virus; let it run it's course while we learn solid techniques for
lessening it's severity..
Let's get on with our lives .

It's time we call the advocacy for "herd immunity" from the coronavirus before we get a vaccine what it really is. Consider this:
The fatality rate of COVID-19 has varied over time but has consistently remained above 1%.
The coronavirus' R0 has been estimated to be somewhere between 2 to 4. Then herd immunity requires at least 50% of people to get the virus.
This means that "herd immunity" advocates are calling for AT LEAST 320,000,000 Americans x 1% x 50% = 1.6 million Americans to die, not including the many millions more who would suffer catastrophic symptoms.
These people--and I use that term loosely--are literally calling for genocide.

If all you do is turn the other cheek you just end up beat up.
And y'all keep believing we're afraid.
That will be perfect.
this has got to be one of the dumbest posts i have ever read in my life
? more curiosity about your position.
How would you specifically and instantaneously, STOP Mother Nature ?
(a virus being a force of nature).
same way we stopped ebola, polio, whooping cough... tons of Mother Nature.
Good Grief, I should not have to answer this, it is that obvious an answer
NONE of which were instantly stopped...
yeah, and?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
do you have a point? did we take no precautions when these ravished?
did we say just let the disease whip us out?
WTF is with you people? Were you never taught to think?
Ever?

Obvious is the fact that they did run their course until after many years of research...
maybe, you're too young to remember -shrug-
Instantaneously? Why would you put an impossible-to-achieve modifier in that sentence?
Listen. This is what It's about, what It's always been about- the safety protocols are all about buying time. There's research groups in laboratories all over the world working at developing a vaccine for the virus and effective treatment options and we are trying to not overwhelm the health care facilities in the meantime. And It's working, some places are slowly, carefully opening up and economies are getting back on track. Even in the USA, where it seems like most of the resisters are concentrated, has seen the unemployment rate creep down below 10%.
Why would you risk losing ground gained by giving up now? "Herd immunity" is a chimera, it was the result of losing millions of lives when there was no other option. We can do better than that now.
Some of us can, anyway.
