Trump and the Repub Party are running an experiment in herd immunity...

[Wounded Bear]

That's pretty much how herd immunity works. Lots of members get sick, some get really sick and die.

1. Considering that the immunity period appears to be relatively short

I think their experiment is doomed.

2. It is what it is

3. I think you mean "herd mentality".

And that mentality is stupid.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Herd mentality does lead to experiments in herd immunity...

5. Perhaps, but consider the average Trump supporter

So, a few Whitehouse and friends get the virus. All get excellent healthcare and recover (or almost all). It produces irrelevant talking points to use in favor of herd immunity. The supporters won't see that it's not a valid study.

6. The majority of lucky folk will be okay, but a large minority die or fall by the wayside.

Sounds like the Republican way of doing things.

7. They are lying about it though saying the upper number is under 2 million,

when it's actually over 6 million and if antibodies are short lived, who knows how many millions would die.
