[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The title of this thread says it all - death cult.  Why on earth does the left think that getting the coronavirus is some kind of death sentence?  The VDH website shows a mortality rate of 2%.  Take precautions, socially distance, protect the elderly and get on with your life! [/quote]

That's literally what we're talking about here, how the Republicans refuse to take precautions, socially distance, and protect the elderly. We want nationwide mandates to do all of those things but Republicans are preventing it, which has led to over 100,000 deaths so far and will undoubtedly lead to more in the future.

Jonestown DEATH CULT: 909 people dead

Heaven's Gate DEATH CULT: 39 people dead

Republican refusal to act on COVID, 128,000 people dead BuT ToTAlLy nOT a DeAtH cULt!  [/quote]

The only way we get past CV is herd immunity.  Not masks, not social distancing,  not staying home. Herd immunity needs to happen. That's why we were only supposed to flatten the curve to spread out the time it takes people to get it.[/quote]

Weird how just about every other country in the world is on track to reopen with fractions of the cases and deaths.

Maybe Vietnam could share with us their secret of how they achieved herd immunity and zero new cases with only 0.0003% of their population getting infected and absolutely nobody dying?[/quote]

.0004% of our population has died of Covid.  Did you think it was more? That many died of H1N1 during the Obama years, and that was was a virus we have a vaccine for.[/quote]

Pretty bold of you to talk about how we need herd immunity when you apparently don't even know what herd immunity is. [b] About 70% of the population needs to be infected to have herd immunity [/b]without a vaccine.  Vietnam has completely neutralized COVID with 0.0003% of their population getting infected. (Not dying. 0.000% of their population has died)

We do NOT need herd immunity. If you think that's the only way, you're completely wrong and Vietnam is proof. If you think it's the best way, you're completely insane because that would cause millions of Americans to die.[/quote]

Wrong.  
"Mathematicians at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom and Stockholm University in Sweden realized that different groups of people within a population spread infections at different rates.  When they updated the classical model to take into account rates of transmission in different age groups and among people with varying levels of social activity, [b]the threshold for herd immunity fell to 43%[/b]."

And as for how Vietnam locked down the virus, besides stopping 100% of travel from foreign countries and putting people in quarantine camps, there is this:

"Security officials or Communist Party spies can be found on every street and crossing in every neighborhood and in every village. The military is also deploying soldiers and materiel in the fight against coronavirus.  This close surveillance largely keeps anyone from slipping through the net or evading regulations."

No thanks.  [/quote]
