How does herd immunity work if antibodies only last at most 3 months?

Herd Immunity is just "do nothing."

It isn't a strategy.

To the people who wanted a full lock down: imagine that you got it, and we stamped out the virus in the US. Do you understand that the only way to keep it that way would be to completely ban all incoming people and flights for months/years indefinitely, the way Australia and NZ have? People who enter those countries illegally (which is pretty much everyone now) or don’t quarantine as required by law are arrested and thrown in prison, and it’s not like the US where people are out on bail in five minutes. Those countries actually have a criminal justice system that works for society, and they enforce the laws. Would you be prepared to do that?

I feel like most of the people complaining that we aren’t doing a full complete lockdown are the same ones who would be complaining and rioting in the streets about the “injustice” when people are taken into custody (and NOT just released) when someone breaks the law.

Or you guys haven’t figured out yet that it would just take one person slipping over the border to spark another pandemic epicenter in the US?

That doesn't even count the possible long term side effects.

This is like arguing that we will only know what caused the plane malfunction after it either lands or crashes. While that's true, it doesn't tell the pilot how to safely land the plane, which is what we need to know right now.

We know how to. It's just that the pilot is a dumbass who wants to crash the plane.

Right, but all the pilot has what his instruments shows, which isn't the whole story. Pilot has to make due with what he knows now, not what the NTSB will later say what caused the crash. And of course our current bad pilot will also likely be part of the reason.

Wonderful. I have a high risk husband, so I guess we won't be able to go anywhere or see anyone for another two years. No chance of visiting my elderly parents - my mother is high risk even beyond age - or meeting my brand new niece, who was born last week.

Thanks Trump. Life sure is great with you in charge.
