Herd immunity will require between 60-80% of the population to be infected. At the bottom end of that scale it's 198M people. The IFR is roughly between .1% and 1%. The range for these deaths will be 198K to 1.98M. Fatalities. Hospitalization is roughly 5%, so between 1M and 10M hospitalizations with unknown long term effects. Think of it this way; if 2/3rds need to become infected before this crap is over, don't you want to be in the 1/3 that doesn't risk death/hospitalization?
