Virus nearly done virusing in Japan

gawd almighty, now the goofballs are saying there might not be herd immunity?

EVERY DAMN VIRUS EVER HAS had herd immunity or the pandemics would never end.

and the upcoming vaccine (likely)also will contribute to herd immunity

More than likely, it's due to the fact that Japan's lifestyle is the polar opposite of that of Americans. Their immune systems are clearly much stronger, and the absence of comorbidities likely has a lot to do with Japan's results. Americans are typically slobs that consume garbage every day as part of a regular diet.

Probably kept their vulnerable populations and nursing homes locked down AF.

Sure would have saved us some grief.

Because most who got it, died. And...in a trump like fashion, the medical field was pushing deadly levels of aspirin as a cure. It ended up killing everyone who tried it.

Why do you compare Covid to anything else in history? Did you do that with Aids?

Answer doesn’t work.

To get to 100 million deaths, the Spanish Flu almost certainly hit the herd immunity threshold.

And then the virus was done virusing. Though it likely stayed endemic in the population to some extent for awhile. Not sure where it went, ultimately. Probably mutated into oblivion.

Of course my issue is with the study. You're the one pushing it as proof of herd immunity. It actually dispels that nonsense.

If you were offered a vaccine that had the 'possibility' of working, and a probability of killing you, what would you do?

You’re dodging lol.

The authors are *legitimate scientists* and their study was published by a reputable journal.

Who’s anti-science now?

Yep. :thup:

I want to add an anecdotal story. A friend of mine was staying in the hospital for a lung infraction. Every time the (masked) nurses walked in, he put his mask on. They noticed, ... and told him he didn't have to wear a mask because he had tested negative for covid.

Every day 20% of the plankton in the world is killed by viruses. When does this end? It has been half a billion years, and has not ended yet. When do you think it will end?

Correct. And that's what everyone has been saying all along...that herd immunity will require 70% of the nation to die.

If you want to volunteer, go right ahead. Spanish Flu reached those numbers in large part due to the military infestation, and subsequent spread when they returned home.

Correct. Patients were transferring Covid to staff.

It's the conclusions that have you confused. They proved that herd immunity does not exist with Covid. It will take a vaccine.

According to the study I cited Japan hit 47% seroprevalence.

Where did they hide the bodies?
