Why?

I'm unsure about it

It's lies.

The CMO is explaining herd immunities role in the epidemic and he's been quoted to make it look like infection is a strategy.

Even those that get by w/"mild" symptoms classified under WHO, those ppl have pneumonia. As can be seen from chest CT scans, some have severe lung dmg, reducing lung capacity by 20-30%. We have no idea if it is permanent or if it can even be healed over time.

They never bothered using the containment strategy and skipped right to LETS INFECT EVERYONE FOR HERD IMMUNITY

Oh you mean The Independent take is lies

Not the strategy itself

Yeah, herd immunity is a strategy using vaccines, which no one has, and total infection rate might never reach 60%. The whole narrative is political mud slinging.

So were not doing herd immunity?

it makes it sound that they want to deliberately infect people

As we have no vaccine

We will use herd immunity when vaccines are available, it prevents community transmission very effectively. But supplies are the biggest issue, for testing as well.

So what is our plan exactly? Wait for a vaccine and in the meantime do what we have been doing?

Herd immunity works with vaccines. We don't have it. The other assumption is that there won't be any mutation as they let the infection spread like wildfire. Nullifying any immunity built prior to a new strain

UK plan is funnel resources as need arises, monitoring international travel and promoting individual responsibility to quarantine with medical intervention in serious cases.

ventilators?

Masks?

it does feel like this will be an end of an era

a major event has happened every 100years starting from 1820

then 1920

and now 2020 is still going off with a fucking great big bang

remember when everyone was saying that they wished that all the events of 2016 could be retconned

Fuck

That's worrying

I'm hoping we are over reacting

But fuck

We're underreacting if anything tbh
