For context, about 3 million people die each year in the US.
IF (and that's a big if), the infection fatality rate really were just 0.1% (i.e., regular flu), then yeah I think letting this thing run its course is the reasonable thing to do.
In my mind, the reason for the lockdowns is because we don't know the morality rate yet, and so we should be cautious in case it's 1-3% how it was looking at first.
I could turn the question around on you, and ask what fatality rate makes the "run its course" strategy reasonable to you? No deaths?
