It’s just the flu, bro.

More people are discussing herd immunity as an end game...apparently U.K. wanted to try it but then a modeler told them their hospitals would be over run. The overrunning of hospitals has not been happening there (or here) so they may be taking a second look at it. It’s simple - open up the country but the old and those with serious heart, lung and diabetic conditions should voluntarily social distance.

The factors that makes herd immunity a good concept for this virus - it’s not that lethal (just the flu, bro) and it spreads quickly. This means the social distancing for the vulnerable will be short and we can all get back to normal activities.

25 days until the end of this month is too long to keep businesses shut down!

Freepmail me to get pinged. I have already had Fearpers try and trick me and join a ping list so please use our mantra in the freepmail so I know you are legitimate. A ping list will help deflect the wave of Fearpers that come here everyday.

So you advocate intentionally giving CV to the young and healthy?

This will not end until herd immunity is reached...period. The longer this drags out the more we are putting all 330 million of us at risk for something way worse than CV-19. Trump acknowledged it yesterday and signaled that this shits gonna end soon. “The cure can’t be worse than the disease”.

This is the early stages of what the cure is doing to all of us:

Watch out for the fearpers. Overnight they’re all ER physicians. I may have been one in Mentone,Texas for 40 yrs but I’ll know for sure after my second cup of coffee.

New York now has 5,850 cases per 1 million people.

That's 0.5% of the population. You'll need to get to 70% to 80% for herd immunity. The percent needed varies on how infectious a disease is.

Meanwhile, HCQ is showing great promise.

I read that HCQ works because it's a zinc ionifier, which allows zinc to be absorbed by cells. The zinc then interferes with the viral replication.

"IF" that is how it works, the OTC supplement Quercetin is also a zinc ionifier. So I theorize that zinc and quercetin supplements together may provide some protection.

It looks like there has been a run on zinc supplements, and I had a little trouble finding quercetin as well. I found both this morning and placed an order.

What I think makes sense:

It's something the politicians and bureaucrats can't screw up.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think once people are emerging from their homes, there will be dead bodies left behind. Murder, suicide, people unable to get their meds.... or food.

I think the best thing to do would be to get/make a billion doses of HQC -Zpak and then open things up starting with people 50-60 or younger with no comorbidity. Make sure all of health care has access to quick tests. Then ride out the storm.

Not forecasts, models or projections. Just data.

(Nobody believes China's numbers, the graph just shows "official" death numbers.)

Anyone taking Hydroxychloroquine should be able to go back to work! It starts working in 3 hours. Please sign the WH petition below. When it hits 150, it goes live on their website, so many more will see it.

No government paid model should ever be taken seriously unless the source code has been released and examined by the public who paid for it.

We are making national decisions bases on nothing more than a magic 8 ball.

RELEASE THE SOURCE CODE!!!

I believe they should allow the whole country to go immediately onto a Hydroxychloroquine z-pac regimen, then open the country back up again.

What are the side effects of this medication that could cause problems?

Herd immunity for this virus needs a 60 to 80 percent infection rate. Pick your death rate and compute.
