Can you just go on the record about being wrong about herd immunity?

Herd immunity is the endpoint either way. It’s not a concept, it’s just what happens. Locking down until an effective vaccine is produced will also bring herd immunity. The question is, are the restrictions on society (for the severity of this particular disease) and the public health risks of those restrictions worth the possible benefit. Or is there a better way to protect those most at risk while allowing society to continue in modified ways until an effective vaccine is produced. It really is a both/and not an either/or argument.

The only way a fool like that should get in. Makes you wonder about the family. The impact of the Somalian conflict of the 90's. 1000's of refugees, many who have not assimilated.

First gen never assimilate.

It's part of why we stayed out of the world wars for so long. Lots of Germans in the US who still had deep support for their home country.

I would like you to explain herd immunity in a way that backs up your stance.

I'm just using the basic concept where a sufficient portion of the population is immune to catching a disease such that it's prevalence within the population decreases to the point where there is very little, if any, further spread.

Sweden has not achieved herd immunity but they also haven't inconvenienced its citizens with mass shutdowns to the point that other European countries have. Look, everyone's going to get hit by this. There's no way around that. So how much pain is a country going to inflict on themselves in addition to the pain of C19?

So you are giving up? There's a spot for you with Chief of Staff Meadows, I believe.

Don't misquote me and then respond to your made up quote. That's a very weak form of debate. No, I'm not giving up. I'm living my life. try again and try to be factual this time

Just wait until they release how many students are failing "virtual school".
Click to expand...
The school I work at around 90% of virtual students are failing because they just aren't doing the work. I have in class students that are terrified of going virtual because they know they wouldn't be able to figure things out on their own, or wouldn't understand the directions given through an email.

My mom is a retired teacher but still helps at her old school, her friends said the scariest part of last semester was not that the bad kids didn't do their virtual work, it's that the good kids stopped doing it to. Once they realized there wasn't really any consequence they stopped, and their parents didn't have time to school them and continue to work.

My daughters school is still excepting work from the first quarter even though they have set three "firm" deadlines to have it in. I honestly don't blame the kids for not doing their work. I blame their parents for not parenting.
