Herd immunity seems preferable to a vaccine, but it does make sense to me that we should try to avoid overwhelming the health care system on the way to it.
I started another thread a few days ago about Sweden's response to this. I'm not sure that anything we can do will affect the healthcare system one way or another to any appreciable degree. At least not with the delays we had in implementing things. Remember a bunch of politicians were telling people not to worry, celebrate mardi gras and Chinese New Year, etc. By then, the virus was spreading and it was too late for all these draconian efforts. I guess time will tell.
