Answer
If the objective is to minimize the number of people that die from this particular virus, the correct decision is to remain isolated. On the other hand, if the objective is to minimize the economic impact relative to the number of people that will die as a result of bad economic impacts, herd immunity might be a better solution. As a nation, we are simply making a decision to save people, despite the economic impact.
