Stop outrageous plans for Herd Immunity to go through
The human population has never developed herd immunity to any virus. This is one big science experiment, in which the lives of people are being played with. The UK is a guinea pig to an experiment we did not sign up for.
The government cannot allow over 60 million people to get infected with COVID-19 and the possibility of 200,000 deaths. There is no evidence to back Herd Immunity. The nation will not be ravaged by a virus with no vaccine. Let’s put these rash ideas to bed and start following lead of countries that are overcoming the virus. This strategy is letting the old and weak die while the fittest survive. Where's the morality in that?
