This is (for me) a highly informative article from March 25, 2020, the content of which seems based on solid, very recent information: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/how-will-coronavirus-end/608719/

I have noticed that occasionally, smart people post what seem to be calls for herd immunity. I encourage anyone with such thoughts to read this article, but if that feels too tedious, here’s a relevant paragraph from section II, “The Endgame,” that looks at three solution scenarios:

“The second is that the virus does what past flu pandemics have done: It burns through the world and leaves behind enough immune survivors that it eventually struggles to find viable hosts. This “herd immunity” scenario would be quick, and thus tempting. But it would also come at a terrible cost: SARS-CoV-2 is more transmissible and fatal than the flu, and it would likely leave behind many millions of corpses and a trail of devastated health systems. The United Kingdom initially seemed to consider this herd-immunity strategy, before backtracking when models revealed the dire consequences. The U.S. now seems to be considering it too.”

And since Barbara and I are in the old-farts’ high-risk group, we’d be likely to snuff it in a herd-immunity effort. For some reason, we don’t feel expendable.
