Simply not an option unfortunately - the cost in terms of human lives is too great, it'd be politically unacceptable. Equally, there's guarantee of long term immunity at all and the long term health effects on those who do survive is unknown.

It shows how infectious and virulent the virus is. It also shows why it is far too early to compare deaths between countries. As I keep saying, all we are doing is delaying these cases.

You are assuming that we don't get better at treatments and that a vaccine wouldn't be developed.

Next time, the restrictions should concentrate on the 'at risk' and vulnerable groups. There is no point in shutting down the whole economy again.

The economy won't recover until the health crisis has been resolved. Your proposal to let a deadly virus pass through the population doesn't bode well for consumer confidence.
Until people believe they can go around their daily lives with little/no risk the economy is going to go down and unemployment up.
