Herd immunity is not a strategy, it is a biological fact

has anyone ever said guy can’t get covid from going out to crowded places? no. so you’re responding to something that no one ever said.

what conservatives tend to say, is that it might be worth the risk
of covid to keep living our lives. that argument can be made.

if the liberal ideology guarantees better results, please explain why the numbers are obviously the worst in predominantly liberal
states?

how about inception to date? how about death rates? is it a coincidence you searches until you found a statistic that fits The Natrative, and you ignored statistics obviously more meaningful, because they didn’t tell the only story you can process?

Are we treating the virus the same now as when it started? You know we aren't bc we have learned a lot so comparing death rates then and now in this way isn't correct - and you know that as an actuary. It seems those areas didn't learn anything from all the deaths in the areas that got hit the hardest early.

we are taking many more precautions yet in many of the areas where responsible democrats are wearing their masks and distancing it is exploding...weird

if you think about...the BEST thing that has happened for democrats this year is COVID...with all of the death and misery, democrats are the biggest beneficiary...that's pretty creepy

the virus and the media being willing to lie about it, we’re a gift to democrats, as was the subprime
mortgage crisis.

as usual, trump
didn’t help himself by acting so casual about it. his policies weren’t casual ( governors of CA and NY specifically praised him for helping them get what they needed, and those guys both hate him), but he appeared to downplay it in his words. the media fixated on that, and never reported in the things he did, getting hospital
ships where needed, converting the Javitts center to a hospital, getting respirators to hit spots, etc. zero reporting in that.

Because that doesn't get us out of it and your hero f'd it up
And I didn't search far at all

Infection last seven days is what counts if your goal is to reduce it and the only way you can is test, trace and isolate

Here is is by state

North Dakota 173.6
South Dakota 130.5
Iowa 110.9
Wisconsin 99.3
Nebraska 90.9
Wyoming 88.5
Montana 82.7
Minnesota 76.5
Illinois 72.3
Utah 71.8
Kansas 63.7
Idaho 63.5
Alaska 60.8
Indiana 60.1
Missouri 56.9
Colorado 52.7

managing the death rate doesnt get us out of it?

if case count is what gets us out of it, we’re never going to be out of it. it’s like the flu, it’s not going away.
