Herd Immunity is not a strategy. It's a fallacy.

Dr Ting is completely correct. Remember - herd immunity didn’t stop smallpox nor did it stop measles or polio. What happens is some adults survive and the virus keeps circulating And - immunity not coronovirus wanes so there is NO herd immunity

It's not either the economy or public health, it's both or neither. Skyrocketing cases will overload hospitals, throw people out of work, depress consumer spending and confidence, and start a panic. Once the panic starts it snowballs. Common sense is N-95 masks for all...

Bravo Dr. Ding. Atlas is a RADIOLOGIST! He may be great at interpreting films, but he has no business pretending he has a clue on how best to address the spread of a highly contagious infectious disease.

Durable herd immunity does not exist for coronavirus. Allowing it to peak months apart in different states will keep it going indefinitely. It can "hide" in certain animals, potentially re-infecting humans. This is how a virus mutates, too. This is a fucking disaster.

Heard Immunity killed 675,000 people between 1918-1920 in and America, of 106 million with limited travel. America in 2020 has 331million and unlimited travel there's 225,000 people dead already, you figure it out. ???
