No, I wouldn’t concede that at all. Quarantine has been the most effective tool fighting any epidemic (aside from vaccination) since the 1340s.

I am not sure why that is such a difficult concept to understand.

The herd will gain immunity. It’s not like when 80% of folks are exposed, and generate antibodies, that everyone else is all of a sudden immune. People without exposure WILL eventually get it. Some will get sick.

Come up with a effective antibody test, and let those who are not at risk, go crazy. THAT seems like a reasonable resolution.

"Quarantine has been the most effective tool fighting any epidemic (aside from vaccination) since the 1340s."

we didn't quarantine..we SHUTDOWN the whole population....that is not quarantine...

quarantine would have been isolation of the vulnerable people from other people...tell them to stay home....

you granted the govt the right to ruin millions of peoples lives because of some unreliable predictions, all that have proved false.....

its funny how the reality of the situation is less important than what the predictions were....

So you are saying social distancing is new definition of quarantine? My problem with mitigation is that you take the peaked balloon and squish it sideways. You haven’t reduced the exposure, just less at a time. I live in California and
thesis evolving we got our herd immunity already.
I had polio before vaccine and understand COVID virus is not same catagory and one vaccine application isn’t going to be lifetime. Am I wrong.
