Herd Immunity is a proven concept, just that it carries a lot of Collateral damage with it, as to be effective over 80% of the population would have to be infected and have gained immunity.
Considering the death rate we have that would be a lot more deaths.
Also to know if we have reched anything like the percentage required we would have to test the whole population.
The best way is to develop a vaccine and then vaccinate everybody.
Until then restrictons wil continue, but i think restrictions will gradually be lifted but vulnerable peple and those that interact with vulnerable people will have to be very careful.
