China and South Korea have shown that it's possible. China capped out at only 100k infected for a population of 1.4 billion.
Aiming to let 56% of your population get infected of which more than 3% will die is NOT the solution.
China's strategy seems simple enough. Close off borders of a region, stamp out all existing cases with aggressive testing, then keep the region at 0 cases by requiring mandatory 2 week quarantine before letting anyone in. Do this one region at a time until your country is all clean. Now their biggest problem is teaching the rest of the world this strategy.
