Remember “it’s just a flu”?
Herd immunity is not the way out of this…
Herd immunity would require at least 50% catching this, if not 70%.
In a US population of 330 million, that means 165 million cases (at 50%). If there’s a 1% case death rate, you’re looking at… 1.65 million deaths.
Only problem. US case fatality rate is 2.9%, which means you’re looking at 4.79 million deaths.
F to the T, the GOP, and mendacious media that enables both.
