Keeping the economy even partially locked down until that point is going to prove to be far more destructive than isolating immuno-compromised people and resuming life as normal. There are tons of industries right now that womt recover from this, at least not within a reasonable time frame i would say that those industries would be ruined either way when their workers start getting sick and...they have to close down anyways due to lack of employees. not to mention that those businesses that do offer insurance, they will be wrung through the ringer trying to cover hospital stays for multiple or many people, if they need it. having to go on a ventilator isn't cheap, same with just being in a hospital in general. it's not just immuno-compromised people who are at risk, either. it's everyone who is at risk. covid does not discriminate. OhhhJa posted... Herd immunity is real though. How do you think humanity conquered outbreaks like the black plague before vaccines existed? how do you consider 25+ million people dying as "conquered" the black plague? that sounds to me like they didn't conquer it, and by all accounts, they didn't. it killed a third of asia/europes population. it's also not gone, either. it's still around. it still exists in some forms. the most recent case of someone getting it is June. of THIS YEAR. the reason why it's not that big of a threat anymore is due to vaccines, increased hygiene practices, and actually having the knowledge to combat it. we live in an age of having all the worlds information at your fingertips literally anywhere. we have advanced medical knowledge. we don't have people saying your blood has demons, do cocaine. we have vaccines, we have antibiotics, we have medicine. tylenol is far and beyond anything they had back in the 1300's. do you consider the 1.1 million deaths from covid as having conquered it? it also was not herd immunity that eventually stopped the original black plague. what stopped it was that it was too deadly to exist. literally, it killed itself. it's the same thing that stopped the spanish flu. it was too deadly to sustain itself, so it evolved into a milder form that could proliferate instead of killing itself. --- paint me as the villain <cite>likehelly posted [p:945910562] in Donald Tru...
