(13,108 posts)Not only has it been considered, it is the current policy in this country.
Trump should face hard time for his non action fighting Covid.
He should have a mask permanently attached to his face.
All the EVIL mother fucker had to do was tell his cult to wear masks.

ALSO, it's a distraction from the reality that the Republicans in both the WH and congress literally refused to use a giant machine waiting to activate to contain and smother this virus before it became pandemic. As we'd always done before. Maddow and others briefly mentioned the need for investigations, later, with all attention first on stopping the deaths.

(25,862 posts)It comes about from vaccinating.
If herd immunity were that easy to achieve, then things like, measles, mumps, chicken pox, even smallpox would not have been constantly infecting large numbers of people.
Perhaps, if literally every single person on the planet were to get this and either die or recover, then it would have no where to go and disappear. But that's not going to happen.

The graphic presented is really underwhelming as an argument. Essentially saying, "old and sick people suffer worse outcomes." Yeah. We knew that.
We need to selling negative health outcomes (immediate and chronic) from infections on the the country as a whole. Young, old, healthy, compromised, schools, day-care, health-care, military, sports .... It's a negative health outcome for the COUNTRY.
