The R0 of Measels is 10-3x as high as COVID-19, at 12-18 as compared to 1.7 to 5. The total number of people affected to achieve herd immunity is fixed. Distancing reduced the rate at which people get infected. And contrary to what you claim, several countries are not engaging in social distancing. And they're not experiencing death rates several times higher than the US. Where much of the western world is seeing cases peak, China has been seeing them rise again [1]. The idea that the virus has been eliminated is incorrect. China aggressively flattened its curve, but concluding that they will eliminate infections without herd immunity is not a certainty at this point. 1. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/13/832995379/china-reports-169-new-coronavirus-cases-highest-in-5-weeks https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...
