Actually, I don't think herd immunity is a viable pandemic strategy. A number of experts have pointed out that it's never been done before as a way to combat a pandemic. There's no viable way to protect the vulnerable, even if you knew exactly who they were -- and we kind of do in terms of the age demographics. Even the architects of Sweden's response say they were not trying for herd immunity, even though they seemed to be and failed miserably. (See recent graphs of new cases vs neighboring countries where they have no beneficial reduction.)
One of the few idiots openly proposing it as a strategy is Atlas, and I haven't seen him discuss how he plans to keep the deaths below a million. Is he going to do forced separation of the vulnerable from their families and create an ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK style incubation center paid for by the government?
