Not me saying this, but some serious looking academics making points that seem very common sense to me, and seem to reflect the approach adopted by countries that have been far more successful than us. Deal with this wave, and while we wait invest massively in testing capability and contact tracing. We STILL seem to be planning on letting this rip through most of the population, just a bit more slowly now. Why?
