When it comes to actions taken to address the Covid-19 threat, hindsight is still very much underway. For your consideration: a story and outcome you probably aren't hearing much about anywhere else. It takes place in the heart of Amish country.
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania: thousands of families lead lives largely separate from modern America.
The Amish are a Christian group that emphasizes the virtuous over the superficial. They don't usually drive, use electricity, or have TVs. And during the Covid-19 outbreak, they became subjects in a massive social and medical experiment.
.....
My summary: The amish community in Lancaster County PA took a different path to herd immunity and achieved it faster than anywhere else I've seen.
No vaxxes - or at least extremely rare.
This interview explains their thought process and what happened.
I also heard this same story from my doctor here in PA that treats the Amish community.
I don’t think they read the news paper either
Local Mennonite are similar and very few have gotten really ill. I get to peek into their world on occasion. Pretty awesome.
Local jw’s are not doing as well and most of them have been jabbed....go figure. I get a peek on occasion as well..sad.
Sorry, I don't understand of which you speak.
Please explain more completely.
Oh, I thought it was the other Amish tribe. The darker ones.
The Amish are immune from the effects of COVID because they don’t watch TV.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That and the fact they use unpasteurized milk and drink it regularly....
Very interesting to read how they developed herd immunity. We were in Lancaster Sunday & Monday to go to Sight & Sound. We saw many Amish families going home from church in their horse & buggies.
They don’t take the long view concerning children and education, either.
The Amish are a cult! They are not Christian, at least as I understand the term.
And what is the “Long View” in your mind?
You have no idea......................
We had a choice. 700,000 dead in a couple of months (spring of 2020) or spread it out over a year and half? We chose the latter. If we went with former, Trump would get all the blame although the result would be the same anyway. Biden was going to be President no matter what.
Every Amish person I have met is either a “Lapp” or a “Stoltzfus”.
She’s a lesbian.
Oh, but I do!
No you do not.................
It’s frustrating but I imagine where ever the ‘refugees’ and illegals go, they’re going to run into the same vax’d only signs the rest of us see - including at some mosques.
I don’t think covid is a scam - out of 92K new cases yesterday, the math is clear. The good news is, the mortality rate has dropped from 20% to 3% to 1.6%.
which means, those protected with a vaccine, or who have those good antibodies from a previous serious covid infection, and those who have access to monoclonals, shouldn’t be too concerned.
Really?
Do you know in what area of the country I live?
Should I care?
You’re the one making the accusation.
I know what I am talking about. And, I know my Bible.
