But it doesn't work that way. All the data shows that the majority of any population are already immune to Covid-19 and of the remaining that are susceptible only a very small percentage actually have any serious symptoms.

Just let it rip like we do the flu and get over it asap.

If it's that mild, why do we still need to wear masks, social distance ourselves, have safe entry, not more than five at gatherings, etc?

All those measures have nothing to do with infection control it's about government control.

Even the so called "case count" is meaningless because PCR testing was never designed as a diagnostic tool on its own.



Stunning new research finds C19 PCR tests are much too sensitive to be useful in assessing spread. "In 3 sets of testing data...compiled by officials in MA, NY & NV, up to 90% of people testing positive carried barely any virus." The implications are huge.



Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.
The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.
