It may be because our current health care infrastructure handles the expected rates of injuries and death through these internalized manners, and we’ve decided we’d rather not watch it collapse while sacrificing five percent of our elderly? Plus whatever amount of people would die from not having access to healthcare? And the innumerable numbers with long term reduced lung function. And the fact the rest of the world would shut us off from everything regardless since we’d be this gigantic disaster zone. I think, and don’t quote me on this, that the UKs original plan was “fuck it, lets aim for herd immunity”. I don’t think it took long for them to realize how terrible of an idea that was. And lets not forget the incredible numbers of younger Americans with underlying health issues who’d die off in droves. So I guess, is it _really_ that strange we’re not asking “what if just said fuck it”? Edit: sorry if that came off rude, I suspect if you did ask that question, something akin to the above is the answer you’d get :-)
