Herd immunity is giving up.
Why give up when we still can battle it?
Herd immunity is to get the virus over and done with. Not kicking the can down the road. I never knew giving up means not kicking the can down the road
 
Elderly patient's will die of the flu n everyone dies. N are u retarded and blind to not see the ranks of the unemployed? So all this shit so old farts might live abit longer? Wat a good trade off.
Few questions.
How old are u ?
Are u in Singapore or even a singaporean?
Your logic is distorted. Are u on some long term medication?

5% Mortality Rate is inaccurate
How is herd immunity giving up? And 5 percent mortality rate is too high n I am giving a discount

Your comments proves that u are nothing but an ignorant, retarded prick. Herd immunity is giving up....giving up wat? U dobt even take sense. So How is my logic distorted?

What u need to do for herd immunity?
Nothing at all.
Just wait and see whether things gets better

Your unemployment rate is before or after covid ?
U definitely not living in sg.

I dont see the unemployment rate. I see the unemployed. If not why the rise in food delivery drivers? Ppl stood down u dont see? Oh u r blind.
 
So wait n see wat? 2and n 3rd wave of infections after the lockdown are lifted?
Herd immunity is a simple epidemiological concept that describes the state where enough people are immune to a disease that it stops spreading in the population. Basically, if 80 people out of 100 can’t get the disease, then the 20 people who can get it will be protected because they are never actually exposed. Any outbreaks of the infection would quickly die out in this scenario.
All of this sounds rosy, but the problem with herd immunity is that it really hinges on vaccination. Without a vaccine, the only way to become immune to a disease is to get it and live through, which makes the strategy a whole lot more fatal.
 
Then why u said 5%.?
Are u having some side effects now.
So wat if I say 5%? I over estimated the fatality rate n it still proves the lock down for a flu is more damaging than the flu itself. Guess u can't count too

U say fatal...so wat is the fatality rate? And who says it hinges on a vaccine?

U are clearly not living in sg

it not overestimated , it was intended.
U can't wait see Singaporean falling.
You are sick.

To see how much more fatal, let’s look at the numbers. Our initial estimates put the herd immunity threshold for Covid-19 – the proportion of people who need to be immune for the disease to stop spreading – at 60-70% of the population. So 60-70% of people need to be infected with Covid-19 for herd immunity to come into play at a minimum, although new data from the CDC indicates the number may be as high as 85%. And it’s important to note that you can’t really pick and choose these people, because unless you reach that threshold in every part of the country you’ll still see disease outbreaks. The idea that we can only infect young people is simply incorrect, firstly because that’s not how society functions, but also because it’ll create clusters of low immunity where the disease can still spread.

U neglected to mention that 80% of the infected shows no symptoms and have shrugged off the virus. So there is yr 80% herd immunity. The other 5 % might be bed ridden like a flu n recover. The vulnerable 5% or 10 percent can be lockdown. it's not hard to lockdown old folks homes. And another point in singkieland..the infected rate has gone up..but the death rate and icu rate had not which means the fatality rate is dropping to be equivalent to the flu. There is no lockdown for a flu n flu vaccines only cover for 4 strains where a flu season has hundreds of strains. So why should there be a lockdown for the wuhan virus?
 
That is why herd immunity is the way to go. With herd immunity there is no 2nd wave infection n no kicking the can down the road. A vaccine will take a year...n at 5% fatality rate a vaccine is not even worth it for the high price everyone is paying.

Yes. Instead of worrying about flattening the curve, they should put efforts so that the system can take a higher peak.

This shutdown is costing Trillions! Spending a few hundred million would have solved the issue.
