"Herd Immunity"? Sounds like culling us old farts. Ef that.

The same mentality that uttered "death panels" a few years back need to settle on a course of action.

Rep. Ben McAdams ‘outraged’ over Treasury Department’s refusal to disclose paycheck protection loan information

No surprise that Munchkin is hiding how all this taxpayer money is being distributed (to Donny's big campaign contributors, without a doubt). Interesting that it's being reported by the LDS paper, though. Mitten's world.

I'm officially an "old fart", being Medicare eligible. I walk 10 miles/day, so have a cardiovascular system stronger than most 30-somethings. The COVID is unlikely to kill me off, should I ever be stupid enough to be in a large group of people without a mask.

However, yes, this "culling" nonsense is simply horrific. Very Third Reich. Donny's herd is an ignorant bunch, but they should surely be smart enough to realize they have targets on their backs with this sort of talk.

I think it's safe to say that those proposing relying on herd immunity are betting on them to not be among the culled.

If 80% of Americans Wore Masks, COVID-19 Infections Would Plummet, New Study Says

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...new-study-says

Pretty damn straightforward. Sadly, there are far too many idiots in this country.

Been wanting to return to the gym. So called yesterday to see what's what with them. Informed that only staff is required to wear a mask and have temp checked. No real restriction on how many, with the 150 member limit now in place!!! The place is not that big to start. Crowded at forty! No equipment out of service.
Will not be going back other then to cancel the membership. You are required to go into the gym in person to cancel. Today the search is on for a different gym for the two of us!

Unable to ‘win’ the coronavirus fight, Donny moves on
Almost anyone who knew Trump before he ran in 2016 could have predicted he would quickly abandon any problem like the COVID-19 pandemic because it defies his efforts at ‘winning.’

Loser!
