The proposal is crazy, but don't you think its the way it just might happen.
1. Those who feel they have compromising medical conditions, which gives them a higher death percentage will continue to wear masks, believe in "social distancing", stay home and do what they can to protect themselves.
2. Then there are those who feel they will roll the dice and will wear masks and gloves for the first week, shed the gloves the second week, shed the mask the third week, and then since they believe they are invincible just take their chances.
3.Those who get a negative result on the test think they are in good shape, yeah, good shape to be positive the next time they test.
4. A positive test is good (unless you die) since you may be immune to the virus strain you previously had. However only that strain.
5.Herd immunity is good. Visualize the thousands of wildebeest crossing the river, and the crocodiles going "yumm!" . Herd immunity is good as long as you are not one of the appetizers.
6. Testing is good, however it only indicates your condition at the time of the test, nothing that might happen later that same day if you test negative, and it also appears that some can catch it again, even it tested positive.

Medical science is the real answer, hopefully they will develop a medicine to overcome the virus once you have it. It appears there are several being tested currently. Hospitals are gaining knowledge as to how to treat infected individuals, and if we do not overwhelm the system (flatten the curve) survival is greatly increased. Hopefully a vaccine if forthcoming, however from the news that is many months off from being available.
