I meant that's exactly what will happen - shut down enought to keep ICU below capacity and then try to wait it out - herd immunity is the long term end result of that.
Yeah it's just that a few dumb dumbs like our government and the brits didn't understand how it works.
"So the more people get it, the earlier we reach herd immunity. Just infect everyone, easy"
"Yeah but you need 1 million ICU beds or lots will die"
"So how many do we have?"
"About... 3, maybe 10 if we share them around"
