Covid will go away because of "Herd Mentality"

[durangodawood]

I'm old and weak. I survived it.

Well thats the important thing anymore isnt it: Me.

(Plus you look young and strong in your pic!)

I wouldn’t speak too soon. There’s still chance for reinfection and you might not fare so well next time.

That's not true. By your definition pro life would have to advocate for shutting down all jobs, transportation, medical treatments etc. All those things cause people to die and yes it's acceptable. We have to take risks just to survive.

Ah, I always wondered about that.
So that is the reason why there are absolutely no regulations for safety with jobs, transportations or medical treatments.

But what do I know? I am not an American. I can imagine that in the Land of The Free, you just like to take risks.

It's not that we love risks it's that it necessary for survival.

Interesting because pretty much every country that has taken precautions has had a much much better outcome with regards to Covid than we have.

Four times already. Yes it is dangerous but each time the guidelines failed to help me. I have to say though I do have a compromised immune system so that probably had something to do with catching it so easy.

My kids say I'm old as dirt. I'm 56.

You are misrepresenting both me and my words by telling me what I am "basically saying" please tell me what you want to say and stop misrepresenting me by telling me what I am saying. Nothing you have posted above in the least bit changes my position. If you wish to convince me that there is a good reason for the fear mongering you will havew to come up with a better argument based upon factual information rather than speculation on what might happen if people were not made to be so fearful.

I'm not trying to misrepresent you at all. Could you confirm your position, because it appears that you're saying Covid isn't that serious and is being overblown for political purposes? You said people should be 'carefully mindful' of the disease, is that a reasonable position to take towards something that could potentially kill millions?

Its not too late to start cycling. That can keep you feeling young.

A cull of the old and the weak so the fit can thrive seems to be an acceptable Christian response to our situation. Thats what I'm getting from the discussion here.

ouch.

I shouldn't have to be herd of a horrible virus. That can kill my family and I. Because Trump didn't protect us.

 

[lasthero]

The funny thing: he's right about the "herd immunity". It is extremely unlikely that this mechanism will not kick in and end the current outbreak.

It's what happened to every other pandemic outbreak in human history.

What he doesn't say - maybe he doesn't know, maybe he doesn't want to - is the cost of such a strategy. Such a non-strategy.

The cost in lifes, but also the cost in social and economical hardships.

But whether he does not know or does not want to say... he just doesn't care.
Trump only and exclusively cares about one thing: Trump.

I promise you he does not know what herd immunity means.

He heard he had immunity.

Donald Trump promoting herd mentality

“It would go away without the vaccine George,” he said speaking to ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos. “With time it goes away. And you’ll develop like a herd mentality. It’s going to be herd developed, and that’s going to happen. That will all happen.”

I think he meant herd immunity, but he repeated herd mentality more than once

Yawn.. oh no, he said one word wrong... let's make a news story out of it!

As was pointed out, it would have been all over right-wing news sites if Biden had said this.

 

[LostMarbels]

Not to worry... 48 days this thing is gone anyways.

Didn't we go over that in a previous thread? You had four recurrences of covid-like symptoms and multiple false nasal swabs. That's not re-contracting the disease four separate times.

Calling the president ‘this thing’ is a bit rude, but good point anyway!

Quite the verbal gaffe. His mind must be going.
