Thinking of getting vaccinated?

That's interesting - when was the herd immunity developed?

Good question. The current problem is described as a "novel" Coronavirus which means it's new in humans. There is no herd immunity.

Over many lifetimes.

"You must spread some Reputation..."

Mashman may be poultry, possibly a duck.
That would explain his claim of herd (flock) immunity and many of his posts here...

So you are posting from the future?

Are you saying that there has never been such a thing as herd immunity?

I'm not saying owt.
You're saying that we have herd immunity to a virus that was only identified in Feb 2020:

We once had natural herd immunity to Coronavirus, we have lost it/are losing it.

Well he did say 'cornavirus', not covid-19 which is the specific strain.

Certain Western and other authorities knew it existed well before then.

No matter the origins Covid-19 is out and nothing can be done about that so all anyone can do it try to mitigate the amount of damage it causes.

Looking at the origins of the US infection it appears it got there via Europe.

Tons of consistory theories abound. So pick your favorite one

See the post below yours?

There's that comprehension thing again.

Herd immunity to any coronavirus is an interesting concept, if you consider that we are recommended to get a flu jab every year.

It seems though that herd immunity is now official US policy. If you extrapolate out the current figures that could result in 8.5 million deaths. I suspect that the unqualified quack that sold Trump that plan hasn't actually mentioned the death toll to Trump. The idiot in chief probably just likes that the plan doesn't require any action on his part.

I said that we HAD herd immunity. You were close, but typically Oscar spun. The virus has been around forever, as was Pluto before it was discovered. That something has not yet been discovered does not mean that it did not exist.

It appears that Sweden may be showing a positive development in that respect.

I miss pluto being designated a planet.

At primary school we were tought how to remember the planets and there positions by the following:

Many Very Early Maori Jumped Suddenly Upon Nearby Pakeha.

Still remember it all these years later.

Many Very Early Indigenous Peoples Jumped Suddenly Upon Nearby White Trash just doesn't cut it.

Pluto just didn't have what it took unfortunately... so the white man rebranded it.
