    LOL, this is how Trumps friends in Georgia are campaigning. A grown man with an education, a well known lawyer apparently, is posting this? I wonder what his fellow republicans who are spending million of dollars on media campaigns thinks about this?

    I agree and that is also the reason why everybody officially rejected talks of herd immunity, because it would be a really cynical thing to do. Plus now we are seeing people getting reinfected in 5-6-7 months...

    I just read that our ambassador in USA said on the Tucker Carlson show earlier this year that Sweden strived for herd immunity. And it would most likely be the result of our strategy - if it worked. Which it does not seem to do. many of the basic assumptions made by our authorities seems to be...

    Coronavirus

    The goal was never herd immunity, at least not officialy, but to "flatten the curve" to not overload the healthcare system. It did work pretty good in the spring when people followed the guidelines. Of course, a huge scandal when Covid entered the nursing homes and the patients did not even...

    Here we have (somewhat simplified) 8 persons max in social gatherings, except funerals where 20 persons can attend. That feels like a resonable exception. Have not heard anything about restrictions on fornication sins so far.
