>>please don’t wear a mask. the best thing you can do is spread it, if you have it.<<
Yes, herd immunity can be achieved in only two known ways: (i) a vaccine, which we don’t have; and (ii) large scale infection of the populace, from 60-90%+, depending on the trasmissivity.
With an infection fatality rate somewhere between 0.26% (CDC lower bound) and 1% (Johns Hopkins upper likely), you’re talking about somewhere between 600,000 and 2,310,000 dead Americans. Considering we’re at about 130,000 deaths in right now, you’re talking about a half million to two million additional deaths. All of which are unnecessary if we get a safe and effective vaccine.
Anyone who is intentionally spreading this should be on trial for murder.
