CableZL 10/03/20 5:20:34 AM #32:	Crepes posted... yeah thats true so I guess what Im saying is how do we get to the point with covid? Do you think we ever will? Chicken pox was controlled a long time before we have a chicken pox vaccine. The case fatality rate for COVID-19 is way too high to justify a herd immunity strategy. In the US, we have 7.5 million infections with 213,000 deaths. If we extrapolate that to compare with the total US population, you end up with millions dead. The death rate has been improving as we find better treatment methods, but we still aren't at thy point where we could try to have 70% or more of the population get it without millions of people dying. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:945393348] in Every year...
