My proposal has always been to keep infection rate and deaths down so that there is sufficient capacity at hospital to give the best treatment for those infected.

Your proposal will take donkey years to achieve herd immunity. According to our PM we are looking to exit Covid by December  2021 or latest by April 2022. So with a population of 5 million, how many must get infected daily to achieve 85% infection for herd immunity by December 2021 and how many if it is April 2022?
 
If you are thinking of controlling with more restrictions and allowing only a trickle (say 1000 infection daily); that will 13.69 years and by then we will be eating tree barks and dead rats..........
