https://news.yahoo.com/evangelicals-fear-the-mark-of-the-beast-from-a-coronavirus-vaccine-183249943.htmlNatural Selection does have a way of striking a balance.
Take Sweden, which has about the same per capita death rate as the US, but not as bad as NYC or a lot of other Western European countries, even though they didn't lock down their economy.
Time will tell, but they're going for the whole herd immunity thing, meaning a critical mass of about 70% of the population will have to contract the virus to build up antibodies.
If the we have a population of 333 million in the US, and 70% get infected that is about 233 million, our death rate per infections is around 6%. That could mean 14 million dead.
Eventually we're all going to have to achieve herd immunity question is, how do we avoid 14 million dead in the process?
The fired head of infectious diseases said we're in for the darkest winter in recent history if we don't act now to get harvested antibodies into at risk populations.
