I think Labster phrased it better than I could.
Yeah. Sure. Technically it is herd immunity. Just like how the Titanic and her sisters couldn't be sunk. But hey, one out of three ships surviving is a good thing, right?
Really, the kind of "herd immunity" we had in the 1800s should not be the kind of herd immunity we desire for the modern age. There's no excuse for not taking measures that could have prevented hundreds of thousands from dying - and that's to say nothing of the impact the virus has had on those that have survived it, economic and otherwise.
