Extrapolating your numbers, we can expect around 2M dead nationwide, and maybe 50M dead worldwide. What to do? That was the original estimate, from back in February. We should just accept it.
It has to be slowed down so it doesn't break the capacity of hospitals
and it hospital ICUs get packed with COVID patients that means less space for other trauma victims

Perhaps my meaning was insufficiently blunt.
There may come a time, when a triage-type of approach becomes necessary. Persons afflicted with Covid would be denied medical treatment, so that hospital capacity could be reserved for "normal" patients. Severe complications of Covid would become a literal death sentence, and the mortality statistics would rise. A lot.
Boy you are clueless, aren't you? Red States like North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming, Texas, Nebraska and Idaho are crashing with Covid cases thanks to dumb ass governors like Desantis.
Oklahoma, too. The governor still refuses to instate a statewide mask mandate.

At least those red states are not crashing with a high amount of permanent job losses and permanent business closures.
I wouldn't use the word "wise". The only wise solution is if one has a cure and can eliminate the virus.
I would say that it may be the practical approach. A hybrid between taking precaution but allowing for daily life activities to continue
I don't think he meant by herd-immunity, that everyone should just start licking doorknobs to purposely get COVID
