We dont even have proof you get immunity yet (most assume you do though).
We dont know how long it lasts (in general) if it does.
Even if immunity works, if the virus mutates, then next year, your "herd immunity" might not mean anything.... same problem can hit again.

Thats why I think Sweden is takeing a huge risk.

Let's not forget reports of "recovered" people with massive (and possibly permanent) damage to their lungs. That alone speaks volumes against the herd mentality. As long as we don't know the long term effects (how many of the recovered people have damaged systems? Do they need medical care for years?), I think it is simply gambling without even knowing the odds.

Not just lunges, kidneys, livers too.
Ontop of laying in a ventilor isnt good for the body either.

Herd Mentality appears dangerous as fack.
I hope sweden is right, and that its far more spread than others think, and less risky than people suspect it too be.
If it is, others can copy sweden (esp if we learn it actually does give immunity (we still dont know)).
If it turns out sweden is wrong.....

Well hello 100,000+ deaths and tons of people with ruined lunges + kidneys & livers in sweden.
Then sweden will be the exsample of how horrible things can go, if you pick the wrong path.
