re: Herd immunity is gaining fast traction, peaking now...

Well, just the nature of the beast. Trump nor any other politician can control microscopic entities.

They can NOT pretend it's a hoax, and NOT eliminate the position designed to help combat pandemics, and NOT ignore their own security briefings and intelligence agencies.

There's a reason a lot of countries... hell, almost all of them... are doing way better against this than we are.

Who did this?

Which position was that? You really need to stop getting your information from DL Hughley and Bette Middler LINK

hell, almost all of them...

France,Belgium,Spain UK and Italy all have
more deaths per capita and higher death rates per case.

If you wanna believe numbers coming by out
of Iran,China and Russia are accurate be my guest.

Other Countries with more intelligent LEADERSHIP have managed this thing better than the US has

So we should slow testing...US has performed more than double the test than the next closest country.

We only JUST reached that mark. We were WAY behind other countries, like South Korea, in this regard. That's what happens when a virus gets treated like a political matter - people debate it, and the virus doesn't give a shite.

How many countries have achieved herd immunity so far?

Is the immunity gaining fast traction? Or is the idea herd immunity can work gaining fast traction?

There is an important distinction between the two. I would love it, but hope by itself is not a strategy.

---

If all people get it at the same time will it prevent virus from spreading to anyone that are immune already in a month after getting infected? So the virus dies or still going on in peoples bodies until the immunity wears off in a couple of months? Then it starts all over again. I am not sure this will work. Some might die and others might have health issues after getting it.

It's been discussed multiple times but SK turned into a police state with warrantless searches of phone and bank records along with doxing those who tested
positive. No way in Hell it flies in this country.

if you were operating in a vacuum and the problem was to stop this flu virus, then you could go all out. there are consequences to every decision we make. you guys who act like throwing 40 million people out of work to stop a virus THAT CAN'T BE STOPPED are just insane. Even your experts admit that it cannot be stopped! lock down for 2 months, 3 months, 4 months. as soon as you open up, GUESS WHAT? the virus starts spreading again. this stupid countries that keep shutting down over and over, and the ones that think they've stopped it. what happens when they start commerce with other countries again? Yeah, that's right, covid comes back.

---

You could have saved time and simply typed you were clueless.

This is the biggest problem we have, folks who understand nothing spreading misleading info to other low info folks which feeds into their confirmation bias.

Rolling shutdowns is the best strategy out there, no shutdown was ever intended to stop anything, they are simply to protect the health care systems from being over run and they are working where implemented correctly.

The politicization of this is killing folks and there is plenty of blame for both sides on that one.

That would help explain the growing case rate but steady or declining death and hospitalization rate.

---

Hospitalization and deaths are both increasing.

There is a 99.985 % recovery rate. And if you are younger than 65 with no health issues you have an almost zero chance of dying. Next the statistics in the US and globally say this thing is not an even an epidemic.

Btw if masks work open the economy 100%. If masks don’t work why are they mandating wearing them. Btw masks other than N95 do not work.

Whatever.. riots were all good. Still approved.. singing in Church is not. Tells you all you need to know.

have you been listening to the health experts and demo governors? they want to stop it. look at the posts in this thread - all the superior beings hollering that we must take steps to stop the spread. you cannot. you are just prolonging the pain.

---

Anyone who believes shutdowns will stop the virus needs to be ignored, they simply lack comprehension of the purpose and are just flapping their lips to hear themselves talk.

quote:

---

why do we send people to the hospital? there is no treatment other than ventilators which is a death sentence. other than giving IV's, I don't know why we are exposing health care workers.

---

It is not about protecting the workers themselves it is about maintaining a viable system by protecting it from being overwhelmed, more simply put it is to make sure there is bed space for you should you need it.

People have not stopped having heart attacks, strokes, cancer or anything else, there is no magic wand to add bed space to deal with a novel virus nor the public appetite to build rooms that would stay empty 99% of the time.

Covid-19 is not a hoax nor is it the black plague 2.0 but managing infection rates as best we can and the public taking simple precautions should not be controversial, it should be what we are willing to do as humans to protect the weak among us.

Sadly as this drags on and touches more lives in some way the mouth breathers among us will finally STFU and simply do their bit to help.

You are correct; I was mistaken regarding some presumptions made.


The hoax was what he referred to the response to it, not the virus. So my apologies.
