Truth! I don’t listen to talk radio anymore either. Maybe I would if I was commuting but even then I’m more likely to slip in an Iron Maiden CD at this point.

:: we will never have heard immunity from influenza or the common cold or corona because the virus itself is constantly changing. ::
Not true.
Herd immunity relates to (approximately) 80% of the population having immunity from exposure.
You are conflating herd immunity with eradication.
In that you ARE correct in saying we won’t have eradication of influenza, common cold, etc.
That is exhibited by current reality.
But, we certainly DO have herd immunity from these based on the population that contracts those maladies every year.
E.G. a population >~20% don’t get sick.
In proper terms herd immunity is not eradication
Even with the flu-shot, people will still get sick...just not in epidemic/pandemic proportions.
Note, from the drop:
SKY is in all caps...”event isn’t.
Spellings have meaning.
Does SKY News still exist?
Or, is that now al-Jazeera?

Yes, a quick summary is best to make a point when posting an article.
Time is something I don’t always have to read through articles.
No but ive driven through that city
I said in another post I dont usually correct misspellings!
Re: “SKY event”.
Checked an acronym site and got some sort of maybe possibility:
https://www.acronymfinder.com/SKY.html
SKY Sandusky (Amtrak station code; Sandusky, OH)
SKY Sandusky, Ohio (Airport Code)
You’re absolutely correct
Thats what we like to hear!
Hmmmm...
“Skyline International Corporation is specializing in buying and selling non-ferrous scrap metals. We purchase material from Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and export to international markets, mainly focus on Chinese Market.”

Why is steel important?

What’s that black rectangle in that message?
I used to drive lots for work back in the late 90s. I’d listen to all the talk radio, but then it got to the point where in 60 minutes, there was only about 30 minutes of dialogue...the rest was commercials and fluff. Having found FR back in 98, I just tuned the rest out.
I cannot find a way to stay more current on political stuff than FR. Considering how incredibly awful the commercials/pop ups are on most websites, we’re lucky here. Maybe I should donate.... hmmm
Music?
Dude, try my just released music mix to dirt bikes in the mountains. Got some seriously cool rock/stoner/fuzz/spacey stuff going here.... you can listen while you Q...

Thanks to all that suggested the water filters.
actually if the utilities stay on the creek water can be avoided entirely but I would like to try this idea sometime in future!
I have now caught-up on replying to my public. Have a Good day
Perhaps it is not “Herd” immunity, but rather “Flock” immunity
Add Sen. Hawley to the Senate list along with Sen. Rand Paul and Ron Johnson!
We achieved herd immunity with diseases like polio, smallpox, measles, mumps with vaccinations.
We can never achieve herd immunity with the common cold or influenza, as I understand it, because it is constantly changing.
*********************************
From microbiologist son:
“Short term herd immunity to the flu is possible with vaccination if enough people get the vaccine every year. Yes, it will continue to mutate, so long term herd immunity is only possible if the majority of people get a new flu vaccine every year. There is no vaccine for colds, mainly because they are caused by many different viruses, so it’s not practical to get many vaccines each year for colds. However, theoretically we could achieve short term herd immunity with colds if we did develop many cold vaccines every year like the flu.
Herd immunity to measles mumps and polio could theoretically be reached without vaccination, however over 90% of the population would have to get sick, and these diseases have high mortality rates, especially for children. So achieving herd immunity through vaccination is a better option for those diseases.”
