  • Herd Immunity

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 07:43:12
    Hello Everybody,

    Maybe Swedes aren't so mad after all.
    Could be they actually do have a plan.

    Herd Immunity Thresshold.
    The Golden Chalice every country on Earth is chasing after.
    British Prime Minister Boris Johnson thought he had it.
    But found out he had COVID-19 instead.
    Now it appears likely Stockholm will soon have it.
    The real thing, without the death that comes with it.

    What is this mad plan?
    Swedes are not shy about telling the world.
    The solution is to have no plan.
    That is the plan.

    Unlike its neighbors, Sweden did not impose a lockdown amid the
    coronavirus outbreak.

    The strategy — aimed at building a broad-base of immunity while
    protecting at-risk groups like the elderly — has proved controversial.

    But Sweden’s chief epidemiologist has said “herd immunity” could be reached in Stockholm within weeks.

    Actually we did, but it's entirely voluntary. We are not dumb, we understand that we have to isolate ourselves to keep the virus at bay.

    If the government had issued a lockdown, with legal punishment if we didn't obey, we would probably have revolted, now we haven't.

    I myself has had only indirect contact with other people, such as the postman and the food delivery man.

    I'm 72, I'm at risk. Would I be as stupid as e.g. the Trumpsters that are gathering unprotected in huge groups to object to the lockdown? Of course not, I understand the reason for it.

    On 23 Apr 2020, Ward Dossche said the following...

    The Trumpsters are maybe providing the key to the solution ... if they
    all get infected soon enough, spread the thing fast enough and then die, the voter-base of Trump will effectively have died under his policies.

    Heh. Sad but true.

    I put my money on total falsification of the data ... such as in the UK and the USA to name just those.

    In a massively bureaucratic country like Sweden? Never. 8-)

    There is no other logical explanation.

    The USA has tested about 1% of it's population -- and *not* counting. Status of 99% is "unknown". Now *there's" a major uncertainty...

    I fear the worst there if everything is true which I read about it.

    OMG!
    I am a dead man walking!
    What am I gonna do?
    Quick!
    Find me a cat!
    They have 9 lives!
