I’m thinking at some point we are going to have to build herd immunity by letting the virus burn itself out. I’m okay with all this migation efforts if we need to buy time to manufacture more medical supplies but we need to have a plan. All we are doing is to open ourselves to a second wave later this fall/winter.

I’m also beginning to rethink the “herd immunity” strategy.

Even if the country was opened back up tomorrow, it would take a long time to recover from the damage that our economy has already suffered. If, god forbid, a second wave came later this year, that could be a fatal blow.

I never thought I would agree with the Swedes, but their herd immunity policy may be the only option. And I don’t say this lightly; Just today, a lady from my hometown died from the virus. She worked as a nurse for a nursing home.

I also know two others from my hometown who had the virus but, luckily, they survived. One was also a nurse.

Luckily, the county where I now reside has reported only one case.

We should keep our eyes on Sweden to see if their policy is successful. It is simply not feasible to keep the US on lockdown, with another possible lockdown in the fall or winter. That would be national suicide.

There is one thing that I’m sure of: Dr. Doom and Dr. Scarf need to be ignored. Without a doubt, they are Deep State Globalist tools who are dangerous to the US and Trump.

I'm sure there is a plan and it's been in place for months. Of course it's been modified along the way. Trumps back and forth with Fauci - all part of buying time while we get our resources up to speed.

Trump has much more information than we know. He knows China's role in this which may be much more nefarious than what you read in the NYTimes. He knows the real projections based on alternatives. Some of that information might bring us into a war or other countries into war. Trump does nothing without information. The other day when he asked the reporter if she worked for Chinal. LOL He already knew she did.

Exactly. There was a time when I thought we should leave this pandemic burn itself out but then I realized our hospitals and supplies and medication ventilators would be over run. That time is coming when we will get a leg up.
