with no proof yet of herd immunity, some sheeple at FoxNews want theirs to die

Early in this crisis, Trump promoted the notion that COVID-19 would “wash over” the US population “like the flu”. He did that while still doing lip service / happy talk about testing, ventilators, and bed numbers. 

Fox News still manages to find people who are OK with a much higher mortality rate closer to that of unmitigated care. Trump is still of the same opinion from  his continuing belief that the death rate would be zero at one moment in February, to today raising that number to 60-70k. What the flock.

Warning: A new video making the rounds in right-wing media pushes a dangerous plan to re-open the economy. It features 2 owners of urgent care centers & is an assault on good science. They'll be on Laura Ingraham's show on Fox News tonight. Here's why it must be debunked: (1/16)

What they're describing (herd immunity) is how vaccines work. But! We do not have one yet! To achieve herd immunity, we'd need 70% of individuals to become infected with #COVID19. If this happened in a compressed time frame, right now, the results would be catastrophic. (8/16)

Family doctor here: In my nursing homes COViD has swept through with an almost 25% mortality rate. Few of these deaths have been counted due to: NO TESTS! Deaths mostly invisible as occurring in facilities banned to visitors. And no one seems to care
