    Already proven WRONG because that is NOT happening in 20 nations around the world.

    Cave dwellers eventually have to come out wherever they are.

    If herd immunity is the only option...it sure would be better if that 70% of infections occurred over time rather than all at once. At least if that happens, those most at risk of dying would have a chance of avoiding being in that group.

    It also means there is more time to develop a treatment (which was how AIDS was dealt with) or a vaccine

    Just "letting it happen" ...would ensure millions dead...mostly among those over 50 and those with any kind of medical condition.

    And we can see that simply staying home...while it will reduce the numbers of infections at any one time if everyone does it, is not an effective protection. In NYC the majority of cases came from people who were not essential workers etc. Nursing homes certainly are "staying home as are prisons.

    If you cannot get past your irrational fear - stay home.
    Don't presume to have the state force your irrational fears on everyone else.

    Cars are not contagious. Road accidents are not contagious.

    Terrible analogy

    It sounds as though your community has much to fear, actually. Apparently you think it's only about you.

    The virus DIES OUT without any new hosts!

    Why is that simple concept to difficult for supporters of the Covidiot-in-Chief to grasp?

    PREVENT further spreading and then the virus dies off as it is doing in those 20 WINNING nations around the world?

    Why do supporters of the Covidiot-in-Chief want America to one of the LOSER nations?

    Is it because your Covidiot-in-Chief is the biggest LOSER?

    It is impossible to get down to no new hosts in a hyper-communicable disease like corona19. You will never see that happen. Isolated tribes in the deep Amazon watershed are getting it.

    20 other nations have managed to do it already.

    There is NO valid excuse for us not to be able to do so either.

    However the gross INCOMPETENCE of your odious genocidal Covidiot-in-Chief is the primary CAUSE for the unnecessary deaths We the People have already suffered and will still suffer in the future.

    Americans are dead and dying because of him.

    His venal narcissism is more deadly than the virus itself!

    "20 other nations have managed to do it already."

    Australia and New Zealand are relatively much more isolated than is the USA, and are living under much more severe lockdowns, yet they are still getting new cases.

    Besides some coronavirus in a bat somewhere is always going to jump on and into a human being and start it all over again.

    Germany is SURROUNDED by nations having serious outbreaks and they are beating Covid19 so stop trying to make feeble EXCUSES for the egregious FAILURES of your criminal Covidiot-in-Chief!

    The asinine fatalistic attitude of his supporters is a de facto EMBRACE of his GENOCIDAL campaign to be imposed on the nation for another term.

    Instead he deserves to be serving a long jail term!

    America deserves far better than his MASS SLAUGHTER of 80,000+ lives and counting.

    Corona can be beaten down, like New Zealand beat it down by calling in their army to enforce restrictions, but corona will never be eliminated.

    Disease will never be eliminated but that does not stop us from beating it.

    All that has stopped us is the criminal FAILURE of your Covidiot-in-Chief.

    Leaving politics aside, why do so many Americans want America to be one of the 'loser nations'?

    The peoples' motto went from "we're tough, and we're winners!", to "let's just lie down and take it up the clacka, because walmart"

    And you could too, if you had a leader with testicles larger than Jacinda Ardern's.

    Yeah, like 8 in the last 36 hours (all from known cases/clusters, none via random community transmission), and not a single death for 5 days. Nice try though ;p

    this is the deal 90% of all coronavirus deaths are the elderly and those with other underlying health conditions so if you really want to flatten the curve slow down or stop the death rate and open the economy back up so people can start again earning a living feed themselves and children
    just lock away the elderly and those with underlying health conditions
    it makes no sense to lock up everyone because the young and health to them catching the corona virus is similar as a bad case of the flu if that
    just the ones that need the most protection the ones that are the highest risk from dying should be quarantined

    if given the choice to be sick for a week or locked away for 3 to 4 months or more i would choose being sick for a week

    you still spreading that misinformation
    if there is no immunity why in the hell are they testing for it?

    FDA authorizes first coronavirus blood test, a key step for showing immunity and testing for vaccines
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...test-track-immunity-test-vaccines/5116281002/

    Trump administration orders insurers to make Covid-19 immunity tests free to patients
    https://www.vox.com/2020/4/12/21218203/coronavirus-immunity-test-cost

    It’s Time to Start Testing Coronavirus Immunity
    https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...virus-it-s-time-to-start-testing-for-immunity

    seriously PF needs to remove your post for blatant dangerous spready of misinformation

    But what if it does turn out that there is no immunity? Then COVID-19 is going to be a severe problem for a thousand years.:(

    The hypochondriacs are harming their immune systems by cooping themselves up in the dark, and by wearing gloves and masks. Healthy exposure to viruses is a good thing.
