Right on Bob. I wonder what the sheep hiding in the basement think is the end game of this whole thing? The virus is going to disappear one day? There have been viral outbreaks since recorded history, and once the population develop antibodies, the severity fades. Or maybe if they wait until the "vaccine" is available, all will be well? Just look at the annual flu, with vaccinations, and antibodies built up the herd, yet 50-70,000 die in the US alone annually. My son just came down with it, and within 10 days he is symptom-free, and will return to his work next week. All the time the one-worlders are trying to convince us to just submit to the "experts", and all will be well. Someone above mentioned the age factor in this group, its possible that as a group we are more susceptible to these things. no one said we will live forever.

I don't know where you get your information but everything I've heard and read suggests that the number of cases and the number of deaths has been under estimated due to people who got sick and never went to the doctor or hospital and either rode it out and got better at home or died at home without the true cause being determined. Many deaths, especially early on in the pandemic were attributed to pneumonia which is one of the primary ways this virus manifests itself.

"Building up immunity is part of the key to staying alive in this world of diseases. And how do you do that by isolating, distancing, masks, constant hand washing and antimicrobials?"

This disease is too costly in lives and permanent health issues to go for natural herd immunity. The best way to accomplish that is with a vaccine. Several are coming and are being fast tracked.

I haven't read or heard any convincing arguments by so-called credentialed individuals. In fact what I have seen from highly credentialed individuals is that if everyone had/would follow the simple suggestions of wearing a mask, social distance, and hygiene suggested we could probably be fully open and back to work/school/whatever now. With half of the population refusing to do these simple things, we will go backward and even places that were open will close again. It's happening now in Florida and Texas and there will be more to follow.

You nonconformists are making the closings and stay at home issues last longer than necessary. We're all in this together and if we work together to take the sensible and easy precautions to limit the spread we will get through this healthier and sooner. It's only common sense, no expert advise necessary.

I figured when you started this stupid rant it it would come back to the election. It’s all about Biden winning and nothing else. You and your ilk certainly act sanctimoniously to everyone who don’t agree with you. You’re all like little lambs who need the government to care for them from the cradle to the grave, because you can’t take of yourself on your own. So you cower in fear, while others have the fortitude to live life to the fullest. And yet you silly cowards always spew the exact same things, such as no one just gets over COVID 19. And, if one does catch it, there is a 100% certainty that you will die on a ventilator. The last I read from the CDC, the survival rate was 98.7%. But you’re the expert medical doctor on here, and it sounds like you opine that 98% of the U.S. will get it if you don’t wear a mask. That’s ludicrous, and yet you believe it with your whole being.
