Since 98% are guaranteed to survive this virus anyway (maybe 99.9% in Naija) and 80% are asymptomatic or never get that sick, it may not be a bad idea if we stopped all these closings, maintain moderate social isolation, continue washing our hands and wearing masks, isolate those who are discovered to have it or come in contact with those who have it, protect the elderly and the vulnerable, and treat those who are treatable like we do with other diseases. I mean, we never closed schools and churches for other diseases, no matter how infectious!

Which other disease do you have or have had that's as infectious as this Covid-19?
What you're recommending would bring the entire country to it's knees, with complete collapse of the healthcare system and economy. It shouldn't even be imagined. This is not the usual malaria and typhoid you know.

Ok, it is established fact that AT MOST we’d lose less than 2% of those who get it (though currently it is 0% for Nigerians permanently living in Nigeria!)
How many people do u think will die if there is mass starvation plus all the social ills that’d come with closing down everything?
If u calm down and look at it UNEMOTIONALLY you’d see the sense in what I’m saying. (Also remember that both our birth rate and population density are quite high).

Also, SINCE THE DEATH RATE IS SO LOW, we can go the herd immunity route - gradually as more and more people recover and therefore develop immunity to the virus, we’d eventually develop herd immunity, at which point the virus is defeated (see below).

I understand your point, but the relatively low mortality rate you're seeing from covid-19 is because countries are taking these extraordinary measures that have been limiting the number of the infected, making it possible for them to receive the needed attention.
If everyone is allowed to be infected at the same time, with no one taking care of anybody, the mortality rate will exceed that which would come from hunger or other diseases.
Hunger due to lockdown will obviously be different from that obtainable in wartime.
People won't die enmass today in Nigeria from hunger; remember not having money is different from not having food.

U missed later part of my post (about herd immunity). If u go back you’ll see it.
Ok, first of all we’d be doing everything other countries are doing EXCEPT totally shut down our society. People will be sentisized to not crowd together, to wash hands, to use face masks, etc, PLUS we’d also be treating those we can which will save some. So there’d be no “everyone is allowed to be infected at the same time, with no one taking care of anybody“.

Secondly 97% of the infected, get well without needing any special medical care (so for them it is just like, say, malaria)

Thirdly we’d have more people whose blood have immunity and can be used to treat the sick (this has been shown to work)

Fourthly we should remember we are overpopulated.
It is better that we fight a war and win and come out stronger (though losing some people), than to close everything and hide like cowards because of an enemy we know we can defeat (though we’d lose some people while doing it)
