    Default Herd Immunity is bullshit, and here's the MS Gov to explain why...

    So all those Conservatives who have shifted goalposts now to the "herd immunity" talking point are in for a wild surprise, according to the GOP governor of MS:

    When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

    After running cover for Trump for four months, it's weird that Republicans are now belatedly begging people to wear masks and take this pandemic seriously.

    Last I checked in with rightwing blogs, this virus was no worse than the common cold and would probably dissapear like a miracle by April.

    The proponents of herd immunity will have to consider that to achieve this immunity they will have to sacrifice human lives, and the lives that are lost could just be them and or their family members. So to me, the idea of herd immunity is more of a distraction and deflection tactic for political gain.

    Glad to hear a governor down there is not parroting Trump. I guess when you actually have to deal with problems, you get the answers right.
    Meanwhile where will Trump golf today?

    I’ll give a clue: the glaring error is an assumption.

    It is assumed that you are a human being, but we know you're not.

    I don’t know of a single seroprevalence study that doesn’t conclude that the number of people with COVID antibodies exceeds the number of cases by a significant factor.

    Go low and say it’s only a factor of X3. Multiply the number of cases picked up by swab tests X3 and you have a more accurate estimate of how many people in the population may be immune to COVID.

    Go high, and it’s start to get interesting pretty quick. In fact, it’s entirely plausible that NYC has gone quiet because they are approaching herd immunity. Same with Sweden. Sweden was supposed to be a basket case by now, remember?

    Well, their numbers have dropped off dramatically. It’s likely Sweden paid a hefty cost but they made it to herd immunity. I’ve been bitching for months about serum antibody testing. If we can get the same degree of caterwauling over antibody testing as we do masks and swab tests we might get an idea of how far we have to go.

    You're so fucking stupid. ICUs are already at 95%, but we need to get more people infected.

    Okay.

    Fucking idiot.
