Mark Levin reveals the questions he'd like the coronavirus task force to answer

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.

It occurred to me this morning that I could have shaved my head. I still might. I don’t know if it would look OK or be awful. In isolation, I could test it out and likely grow it back (as much as I have) before going out into public again.

I’ve lost precious weeks. But perhaps I still have time.

At some point we will find that this was running through CA much earlier than any mitigation strategies were in place. No run on hospitals, no endless need for body bags, just an above average start to our flu season.

Are you suggesting the disease changed its fundamental nature in response to government decrees? That would be most startling. Otherwise, the same ‘ground glass’ effect, which is blatantly obvious even to trivially familiar eyes, would have been noticed in *tens of thousands* of chest CT-scans and x-rays. That they were not then is pretty definitive evidence that the disease was not around before mid-January, and was not substantially around before mid-to-late February.

.

Even assuming the entire medical community had become profoundly stupid over the winter, you’d be seeing examples of scans and x-rays from earlier being presented if they existed.

.

Oh, and herd immunity is not a hypothesis. It is exactly how nature intended mankind to work.

---

The term comes from a specific academic work which hypothesized the effect. It is a visual description of what is essentially a statistical effect.

I saw the interview and it was grand. I wish he’d added “why are you not practicing “social distancing” while giving the briefings?
