In a theoretical world this makes a ton of sense. In a world where people grow accustomed to life as usual, fail to make adjustments BEFORE flu season, and we end up with the virus having a kick-started boost to start flu season, we're heading full speed into a brick wall.

If we can slow down beforehand, yes, we probably make beneficial progress towards herd immunity (albeit minimal). But in a leadership vacuum with an election ahead, this doesn't look good to me.
