More infections with very low deaths IS VERY GOOD NEWS!

It is the best way to get rid of this highly infectious virus.

You don't have to be as rocket scientist to understand this.

Follow my rule of observing actual results and ignore the academic scientists.

Actual results from previously very high infection rate places such as NYC

are showing fewer and fewer infections and deaths. How did that happen?

Did people shut themselves in their basements? Actually NO.

More businesses are now open in NYC than in 5 months.

Even a low IQ person should be able to determine that after all the people who mingle are infected and have acquired temporary immunity for 97.5% of infected people, the virus simply runs out of more people to infect.

Sooner we get the herd infected, the faster the virus will disappear.

Only people who need to isolate/quarantine themselves are those who already have one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel.

Another ACTUAL fact to observe,,,,,the total deaths in USA this year through July

are no higher than at this time in 2019. Even a person who  failed cognitive test should be able to figure out that covid-19 is mainly killing those who were going to perish soon anyway.

PDX5

if the flu and common cold has not been eliminated through herd immunization, how can anyone be certain covid-19 can be eliminated through herd immunization?

Italy is the first country in Europe hit hard by this virus

In the last 2 months none of new cases is dead. Daily deaths reported are old cases, old people with other severe illness

Italy still remains the 5° country with more deaths, but actually there are only 49 people in ICU and only 713 hospitalized with a population of 60,000,000

150/200 are the daily new cases.

98% of them have slight symptoms.

Only 2-3 persons are hospitalized daily

No one is wearing mask since early June

Observe dear friend and you shall learn.

Flu comes in, infects everyone who comes in vicinity of infected. 

Just like covid-19, not every one shows symptoms. If we tested for influenza at the rate we are doing for covid-19,

you will discover many more infections took place but only a few showed symptoms (fever, cough etc).

Eventually influenza disappears when the herd is infected and acquired immunity.

I can't ever remember getting 2nd episode of flu back to back soon after the first.

Covid-19 is a new virus which simply means no one had immunity and no vaccines were invented for it.

Which is why infections spread so quickly. Flu  does not spread so quickly because of either vaccines or some of us have immunity from past exposures.

When the herd is infected and recovers or the infection was asymptomatic, the virus will run out of people to infect.

If you divide daily COVID-19 positive cases by daily death numbers you will see the ratio keeps dropping since early May .............

There a lot of good treatments being used now. Doc's have also figured things out.

Most recent developments, an Israeli researcher thinks he's got a powerful treatment in a well understood and used cholesterol medication. Trying to get it into trials now.

More interestingly, some researchers make a strong case for melatonin being both protective and helpful (and cheap and safe). This went into clinical trials in April. We won't get results for a few months yet.

Interesting how the cheap and commonly used melatonin has been found to be useful in treatment.

There will be no herd immunity until we have a vaccine. That's just a fact.

The goods news is Hospitals are getting better each week with treating COVID patients. From improved treatment protocols to successful steroids. If I was going to get sick, I'd rather it be now than 3 months ago.
