There have been tests and studies done that suggest that up to 15% of people may have already been infected, many of them without any symptoms.
This is far from being confirmed, but if true, reaching 70% could be quicker.
By the deaths we are seeing mounting up each day, its safe to say now this virus just doesn't strike down elderly people as we were originally led to believe. Even under lockdown measures across Europe, the death toll is still rising in each country.
Without any lockdown, and allowing everyone to catch this to create a herd immunity is at a risk of wiping out not thousands, but millions of people, given how this virus spreads and attacks, which is why most governments decided to put measures in place, once they looked at scientific evidence and prediction models.
A policy of herd immunity would be opening the floodgates - lambs to the slaughter. The overload of patients in hospitals would cripple health services worldwide. Even under the current lockdown health services are struggling with PPE, ventilators, testing, etc.
One can only imagine what biblical disaster scenes we would witness if governments allowed everyone to catch this at the same time.
I’m totally against this approach and back when BoJo spoke about that I was horrified by it. Humans are not animals and I felt embarrassed for all UK citizens who supported such a “man”. I was just pointing out that if you want to achieve an herd immunity a lockdown is pointless so those numbers were not correct.
Anyway I NEVER said that I’m supporting an herd immunity in my last post so I don’t get why some of you misinterpreted.
And yes I live in the most afflicted region in all Europe and that’s been 46 days of quarantine (and counting) totally alone. Just saying.
Also, that's assuming our already overworked doctors will survive the virus.
Sorry to have misinterpreted your intent. Please keep in mind: when you try to explain someone else's point of view, you run the risk of being believed to be supporting that POV.
We're Number 1, dammit. In ALL THINGS, we are Number 1!
Yep, anyway cheers! :)
Yes, some kind of anti-viral tablet too. Basically anything you can take to stop catching the damn thing. Until then this virus is here to stay.

There have been promising trials, both with a malaria medicine and with vitamin C.
No, there haven't. Ask a scientist.

Nice to know my country's dopes are heavily outnumbered.
- gun nuts
- Trump fans
I wonder if there's a connection... Anyway, good to know that there are still many more sane people left.
It would be foolish to assume that half a lockdown period and the first signs of declining numbers of infected and dead people is enough to kick everything into gears again. If a second wave hits while society is trying to renormalize, the situation could end up worse than before, what with new investments having been made and all.
I'm not the first person to note that if a hundred or so heavily armed BLACK people showed up on the steps of the Kentucky statehouse, FOX Noise wouldn't be quite so sympathetic to their cause -- now would they?
And the Police?
Sympathizing with Trump supporters? Triple posting? Quoting yourself? Truly the height of villainy. ;)
If there were black protestors acting the same way, some or all of them would be dead.
Thankfully we seem to be flattening the curve, with only 20 new cases in the past 24 hours.

Actually, (first time around) it's just the current height of my own technoclumsiness.
And yes, your second line speaks precisely to my point: white folks parading around with weapons get a smile and a wink. Black folks trying the same foolishness would find a far less lenient response.
Depends on which Police are involved. If it were Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland they'd probably just sing a few songs and consider that matter closed. And assuming we were all observing social distancing, one of the songs they'd sing would probably be "Don't Stand So Close to Me."
