    In the UK, herd immunity was proven foolish and publicly abandoned. For herd immunity in the US under a Trump administration, over 2 million people would have to die

    I will preempt by stating that I am not a Biden fan but...

    This is the outlook we have to look forward to with a sociopathic pathological liar. As difficult as it is to believe, obviously there are people who don't care about dying or those close to them dying just as they don't no care about Democracy dying.

    Trump is a malignant tumor that must be cut out now!

    Not defending Trump, but you do understand that Norway reached herd immunity during the H1N1 flu, right?

    And when or if we have a effective vaccine and it shows that people are immune from that and people who have had COVID and most are immune, we can see how that goes THEN!

    Right now, since neither of those options are working, the current Trump and the Republican that we simply die or get sick until this "Republican Unicorn" of herd immunity burns out simply sucks for most Americans.

    Establish a U.S. Public Health Jobs Corps to mobilize at least 100,000 Americans across the country with support from trusted local organizations in communities most at risk to perform culturally competent approaches to contact tracing and protecting at-risk populations.

    What does this even mean? Its a pandemic but you have to make sure the people you send to "help" have the right Identity politics?

    Implement mask mandates nationwide by working with governors and mayors and by asking the American people to do what they do best: step up in a time of crisis.

    "Experts say that if 95% of Americans wear masks between now and December, we can save almost 70,000 lives. Joe has called on:

    • Every American to wear a mask when they are around people outside their household
    • Every Governor to make that mandatory in their state
    • Local authorities to also make it mandatory to buttress their state orders"

      They claim there are no riots and then claim its Trumps fault.. Either way they have made no attempt to stop them but you are going to somehow enforce a mask mandate of 330+ million people by the same people you want to "defund"?

    • WTF?

    Trump must not think the vaccine will be here anytime soon if he is considering that

    What you still sticking with it'll take two years to have a vaccine? The scientist say Oct-Nov, so with a vaccine herd immunity could be achieved as you seem to agree.

    Trump doesn't have a policy.

    He brought up herd immunity in an interview. It was one of his impulsive moments. He is incapable of organising and managing a difficult problem. He sees this as cover for not doing his job.

    There's no actual change there, just the usual Trump BS.

    Psssst . . . just like the U.S. CDC announced, the European Union CDC has just announced that they massively over counted COVID-19 caused deaths. MASSIVELY over counted.

    We don't really know when, and we aren't sure about how long it will take to make a billion doses.

    If you're an optimist, one will pass Phase 3 sometime in the next several months. At that time, production will go to people that need it most, people routinely exposed and the immune compromised. It will likely be end of 21 or beginning of 22 before you see the general public gets access.

    The resources being poured into the effort are impressive, but it still takes time.

    No one knows when a vaccine will be available or how long it would take to mass produce and distribute.

    And that sure as hell ain't gonna happen by November...although Trump will claim "Oh look I have a vaccine" whether there is one or not.

    Not true at all. Trump has politically ordered the CDC to make that weird claim....cause ya know...he reads it on his QAnon blogs or whatever

    190,000 people have died because they caught this virus...people who would most likely be alive today had they not caught it

    I read an article published in the NYTs yesterday. It suggested that 90% of positive test results contained such a low level of virus those folks couldn't be infectious/contagious. Of course, the testing isn't the problem, in fact the NYTs opined that even more testing was needed. The article didn't offer an alternative testing process, but who cares. More false narrative data to play lockdown the country with.

    At some point, the business of covid must be taken on, and exposed for the glutinous pig that it is.

    You realize that was with vaccination, right? And that we don't have a vaccine for COVID? Herd immunity with a vaccine looks a lot different from herd immunity without a vaccine.

    Not deadly? There’s one hundred and ninety thousand people (and counting) and their families... who would disagree

    Masks do not stop nor do they prevent the spread of viruses. This is debunked in my sig.

    Not impulsive. He got it from some kook doctor on Faux Noise...who is now heading his Corona Task Force.

    Herd immunity is now our policy...including the two million dead it will cause

    God Help Us
