As it stands, if we continue as we are now, by August we’ll be at 84,000 deaths and a decent enough herd immunity that deaths will level out. If we go back to social distancing from now in, we’ll be under the 200,000 .

I’m a bit confused. Why the death count from the model you mention is higher if population goes to social distancing?
Also it’s a bit too early to tell if herd immunity will work out or or more waves of epidemic will come later.
