Just a thought.

Yes and Yes.

Right and Wrong.

But not necessarily in that order...

So they'll be listed as Covid-19 deaths?

I heard that if you gargle boiling bleach you can’t get it

That stuff kills vampires so it must be able to handle a little virus

A quick search on the interwebs estimates a necessary 60% of people would need to get immunity to have functional herd immunity for covid.

We have less than 1MM cases right now. With 53k deaths.

For herd immunity we would literally need 200x that number of cases, and that would mean more than 200x that number of deaths. That means 10,000,000 dead to achieve herd immunity...

Just back of the napkin numbers.... But that's what you would need to sacrifice to get your 60% immunity right now.

I'd try to find a different way.... Maybe... Or don't. We can always make more people.

Odd note.... On paper we're at about 5% death rate... But thats just confirmed numbers.

First thing I think of when I hear that term is what I witnessed as a young fella when "Bangs" came through our area of West TN back in the 70's. Oddly, the herd about a half mile away through the woods didn't have a SINGLE SURVIVOR!!! The guy had to leave the cows laying out in the field until the Gubmint man came to test them and then he could dispose of the carcasses.

Also when I learned about so called "cattle mutilation" and how time, critters, et al are usually the reason it appears that some surgery has been done, LMAO!

The guy worked with my Father on the RR, so we went over and walked through the foul smelling field. He saw one cow in particular and told me to watch as he kicked the cow's spine area, suddenly a 'possum ran out of the cow's butthole that had seemingly been surgically enlarged, BWAHAHAHAHAHA! That's when I learned that opossums eat about anything. They actually LOVE ticks. I saw a game camera episode where a deer was standing calmly while a possum ate the ticks off her face!!!

Immediately thought of the Country Joe McDonald song:

And it’s 1-2-3-4, whatta we fightin’ for?

I don’t give a damn, next stop is Vietnam

5-6-7-8, open them pearly gates

Whoppee we’re all gonna die

Or sumting li’ dat. :-"

I’m glad they’re not trying to scare us.

tried binge watching "The Walking Dead" gave up...didn't really like the living characters much more than the zombies
