The herd immunity was suggested in the UK. Pretty much let some people die, and eventually majority of the population will become immune to the virus. But they changed their mind after finding out that a lot more people will die than they predicted, so this plan was scrapped. Also due to public outcry. Wow, I can't believe a government would even consider this as a way to control this virus. In some ways, this is like a war. Since in a war, the commanders more likely have an estimate how many people will die when doing a mission. It is kind of sad that people just become numbers as the people on top decide the fate of the people's like lives. We definitely need to choose our leaders wisely since our lives literally depend on their decision.
