The same goes for Covid. We fight back. We don't just do nothing and wait for herd immunity to set in. Over 200,000 deaths as of this morning (source: John Hopkins University of Medicine). Death rate expected to increase to 3,000 per day by the end of the year. We could possibly (just possibly) have a million deaths before this is over.
How many deaths if we don't fight back? Hard to say but I would venture a Scientific, Well Informed Guess would be ten million.
A historical example would be the Black Death of the middle ages. The did not fight back because they couldn't. Their medical knowledge was close to zero. One third of the population of Europe died. One third of the U.S. population is 100 million people.
Imagine one third of your extended family dying of Covid. Plus one third of all your friends.

You "fight back" with common sense precautions. Quarantines for the infected. Isolation for people with compromised immune systems. Masks that protect the wearer.
