He never address things like you questions, unless he can find an obscure website that fits his needs.
We are dealing with an ever changing situation, and one that does need any more P stimulation

This the same old pot, stirred by the same trolls. The comparison to Sweden (where the government didn't institute a lock down) didn't work out so well, so now let's compare COVID to ________ (fill in the blank). In these days of the internet, you can find an 'expert' - some very well-respected, others much less so - to back up any theory you like. (The one about Bill Gates , presented in an earlier post to this thread is a prime example.
)
We still
hope that
long-lasting herd immunity applies to Covid-19; but the simple fact is that nobody knows. It sure doesn't seem to have worked out well for Sweden.
Sweden hoped herd immunity would curb COVID-19. Don'''t do what we did. It'''s not working.
The Mayo Clinic, WebMD & others aren't quite so rosy about the theory either:

There were quite a few differences in the pandemics of 1957 and 2020. There was a vaccine for H2N2 in trial within 2 months of the virus reaching the US, so severe measures weren't likely considered necessary. Also, "Making a vaccine for a new flu strain is very different from making a vaccine for something completely new like COVID-19"
Early Detection of the 1957 Flu Pandemic Helped Slow Its Spread - HISTORY This fact
alone could explain a totally different reaction to the outbreaks. Plus, back in 1957, there were no politicians, bloggers, self-proclaimed visionaries, alternative news sources or conspiracy theorists calling H2N2 a hoax.
And really, even
IF the death rates from H2N2 & Covid-19 eventually prove to be similar, SO WHAT?
