BMW, what exactly is your background in Epidemiology? Because John's Hopkins is about as conclusive as anyone in North America is going to get. They have been clear that it's not a practical step.
For Kristian Trumpers are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

Re: Let's talk about Sweden
Actually, they have said that a vaccine is a form of herd immunity. They warn against trying to get to herd immunity too quickly but they don't discount it as practical.
https://hub.jhu.edu/2020/04/30/herd-imm ... ronavirus/What will it take to achieve herd immunity with SARS-CoV-2?
As the numbers above demonstrate, herd immunity is still a long way away. But in the long run, as with any other infection, there are two ways to achieve herd immunity: A large proportion of the population either gets infected or gets a protective vaccine. Based on early estimates of this virus's infectiousness, we will likely need at least 70% of the population to be immune to have herd protection. There are a few ways that might be achieved.
In the worst case—for example, if we do not perform physical distancing or enact other measures to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2—the virus can infect this many people in a matter of a few months. This would overwhelm our hospitals and lead to high death rates.
In the best case, we maintain current levels of infection—or even reduce these levels—until a vaccine becomes available. This will take concerted effort on the part of the entire population, with some level of continued physical distancing for an extended period, likely a year or longer, before a highly effective vaccine can be developed, tested, mass produced, and administered.
The most likely case is somewhere in the middle, where infection rates rise and fall over time. We may relax social distancing measures when numbers of infections fall, and then we may need to reimplement these measures as numbers increase again. Prolonged effort will be required to prevent major outbreaks until a vaccine is developed. Even then, SARS-CoV-2 could still infect children before they can be vaccinated or adults after their immunity wanes. But it is unlikely in the long term to have the explosive spread that we are seeing right now because we hope that much of the population will be immune in the future.
I'll restate my view ONCE AGAIN - we should be moving towards herd immunity as quickly as possible with 2 caveats:
1 - that we don't overwhelm our hospitals, and
2 - that we protect the most vulnerable
Getting to herd immunity is going to require that a majority of young, healthy people either get sick or get the vaccine.

Re: Let's talk about Sweden
Daily death toll - Michigan compared to Sweden. Sweden didn't lock down and never issued mask mandates. Yet, they continue to have a lower death rate than Michigan, and in fact, are darn close to zero for a few weeks now.
No masks. No lockdowns. What am I missing here? Where is the evidence that the strict lockdowns and mask mandates in Michigan have actually saved any lives?

Re: Let's talk about Sweden
The lockdowns only delay the inevitable. Protect the vulnerable and let everybody else go on as normal.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Let's talk about Sweden
The majority of the vulnerable were people in nursing homes. Thus far nearly 30% of the deaths in the US have been specifically in nursing homes - what did Governor Whitmer do specifically early on to protect those people? Seemed to me she was more concerned with giving the republicans in the legislature the middle finger than she was about actually saving lives.audiophile wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 2:38 pm The lockdowns only delay the inevitable.

What type of idiot would ever think it was good idea to mix them in?
I said wear a mask in March too!
So much for "experts".

The original idea was to Keep them in Covid wings... not that logistics always permits that or it’s in the end a wise move.

Re: Let's talk about Sweden
Why did the governor veto the "keep it separate" law, after it passed the legislature then?

Re: Let's talk about Sweden
During flu season they lock down nursing homes if there is an elevated risk in the area.
Soooo... they install people with covid into nursing homes... just before summer starts and HVAC systems spread it facility wide.
Stretchin Gretchen is responsible for many deaths.
Admit it.
