They tell you to hunker down. How long are we supposed to hunker down until?" asked Levin, who made clear that he was not questioning the sincerity of Fauci and Birx's efforts to fight the virus.
"What happens after we are done hunkering down?" Levin went on. "Doesn't that mean millions of people never had the virus because they successfully hunkered down? Doesn't that mean millions of people will be highly susceptible to getting it again or getting it the first time? They are not developing an immunity.
Don't you really mean mitigation today eliminates the herd immunity necessary for this society to kill the virus broadly once and for all?" the conservative radio host asked. "Isn't this why you say, 'In the future don't shake hands?' Aren't you really saying, 'In the future, don't touch surfaces, doorknobs, tabletops,' because you know that shaking hands is fine if both people have had the virus, but if somebody has it and somebody doesn't, that virus will be obviously traveling along?"
Levin added that the mitigation strategy doesn't account for the economic impact the virus is having, telling host Sean Hannity that the widespread assumption among politicians and medical experts is that the business community cannot "walk and chew gum at the same time."
"Why aren't you issuing guidelines to states and localities that help them [stay open]? There [are] thousands of small businesses, medium-sized businesses ... who can mitigate and remain open," he said.

And even New York has shown they had no problems with hospital capacity that were unmanageable. Everyone else has had time to ramp up supplies and secure more space. It’s time to end the lockdown.
You and me both. I had an appointment for this past Saturday and of course the shop was closed......Guess we’ll have to go back to our hippie days with what little is left.
No, it wasn’t a profile in courage when Levin did not ask him one
tough question on his TV Show.
My wife is a part time dog groomer. I will be asking her to trim my “fur” on my head today.
Gosh, I hope she make me wear the “cone” or a leash.
We always get the flu shot.
The thing about immunizations — they are not 100% effective and like throwing darts.
I wonder if the same will be with whatever covid immunization is developed.
Could be. We may have already been exposed.
I think he has said he would be respectful to someone who appeared as a guest on his program?
Realistically, he would never have any guests if he started raising his voice like he does when he doesn’t have a guest.
Yup. It is for our own safety and the safety of the people around us.
I could be respectful to Dr. Fauci and yet ask him very direct, blunt, challenging questions. It has been done before.
Even Fauci and Birx have said that coronaviruses typically to not mutate as often nor as quickly as flu viruses.
Id like to hear Mark address the correlation of the recent death of M. KENNEDY and virology and the no go appointment of RFK jr. as it relates and the conversation between Trump and Bill Gates in relation. Some will know what I mean.
We hunker down and finish this off right now. The best President of the modern era has had all the correct instincts and was ahead of the curve on a travel ban while Democrats cried over “witnesses and documents” and Pelosi crowed on talk shows about impeachment being forever.
Trump is proving to be the only worthy leader for these times and he truly deserves 4 more years. Trust in Trumper.
Me too! Exactly the day after Thanksgiving, after returning to Kansas from Texas. Took a long time to get over it.
We need some kind of biological crisis response. Threat level guidelines that could have been in place even in December or January when the threatening actions of China were being seen.
You mean, when Dr. Tony was out there telling medical journals that this would not be a problem?
Levin mentions guidelines that allow for less than full lockdown for some businesses.
I am suggesting that a little low-cost to no-cost up front caution could prevent the lockdowns from even happening. But, it would need thought and planning to be in place.
I must confess i didn’t see the interview.
I mostly agree that it is possible to ask pointed questions and still be respectful.
Even if the answer they give is pure BS.
It would be very revealing non the less.
Maybe Levin is afraid of losing it?
I am kind of that way. I avoid some subjects, or hold back a little, because i would be unable to keep my cool.
I have seen pictures of those “fury” conventions. Always wondered where they were held. Some folks are just really out there.
I woke up this morning and my hair looked like Boris Johnson’s. Before he was sick.
