Would that have been acceptable? We would have developed the herd immunity, but lost much of a generation. I'm sure we would have told our folks in government good job done, let's go to the races! We still don't fully understand the morphology of this disease. Why some get it with few symptoms and others, not just the old, get it and degrade rapidly to death. There are still folks out there that say its just another seasonal flu. To generalize a disease based on previous types of similar strains seems kind of foolhardy, but he does have the Phd!
