Tribalism comes for pandemic science

I mean isolation of vulnerable while letting infections elsewhere raise to saturation. No (non-micro state) country has gotten close to saturation/herd immunity yet.

I'm not sure if you're trying to refute my post or support it, but your comment certainly supports my point. No country has gotten close to saturation/herd immunity yet, and it would be economically ruinous (and not uniformly so) to maintain current quarantine measures until we get there.

I’m saying there is no one to learn from, no one did that strategy yet. The UK almost did.
