This is the worst fan fiction I've read in awhile.
>4% of the USA has been infected; you're not getting herd immunity... you never were going to get it. it would kill your population before that could happen.
it's very easy to cherry pick a chart that supports a statement, but if you consider infection rate, death rate, lack of support infra, etc., there is no chance herd immunity would work.
You'd have to ignore the cascade through the population. It really doesn't help that a large portion of the population thinks it's a lie.
