The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation
Herd immunity saves lives. People in isolation delays herd immunity which allows people to have antibodies after they have had the wuhan virus.
The people who need to take extra precautions such as isolating themselves are people with UNDERLYING HEATH CONDITIONS! NOT HEALTHY PEOPLE!
President Trump and our government are relying on CDC doctors who are not telling you this information.
The politically correct posture now is to tell everybody to stay home no matter what their health condition.
A person in good health who has a normal immune system defense and no underlying health conditions who goes out in public and exposes themselves for the purpose of increasing herd immunity is a true patriot. This person will save lives by raising the percentage of people who have had the corona virus and have antibodies thereby increaing the herd immunity.
When the herd immunity reaches 40 to 60 percent in the US the corona virus or other virus will die out in the overall population because it will not be able to spread.
This is the main objective.
The secondary effect will be to allow people to go back to work and start the economy up again.
ANY delay in supressing the herd immunity of 40 to 60 percent in the nation will delay two things.
(1) The corona virus dieing out.
(2) People going back to work and US economy starting back up.

Herd Immunity
Herd immunity, or community immunity, is when a large part of the population of an area is immune to a specific disease. If enough people are resistant to the cause of a disease, such as covid-19 or bacteria, it has nowhere to go.While not every single individual may be immune, the group as a whole has protection. This is because there are fewer high-risk people overall. The infection rates drop, and the disease dies out.
Herd immunity protects at-risk populations.
How Do You Achieve Herd Immunity?
You can develop resistance naturally. When your body is exposed to a virus or bacteria, it makes antibodies to fight off the infection. When you recover, your body keeps these antibodies. Your body will defend against another infection.
This is what stopped the Zika virus outbreak in Brazil. Two years after the outbreak began, 63% of the population had had exposure to the virus. Researchers think the community reached the right level for herd immunity.
When does a community reach herd immunity? It depends on the reproduction number, or R0. The R0 tells you the average number of people that a single person with the virus can infect if those people aren’t already immune. The higher the R0, the more people need to be resistant to reach herd immunity.
Researchers think that the R0 for COVID-19 is between 2 and 3. This means that one person can infect two to three other people. It also means 50% to 67% of the population would need to be resistant before herd immunity kicks in and the infection rates start to go down.
This is close to 40 to 60 percent of the population.
He also noted that it could "take months or even longer to build group immunity," and thus, during that time, their objective was to shield people at higher risk, such as the elderly and the immune-compromised, as much as possible.

The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation
The tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be entering the containment phase. Tens of thousands of Americans have died, and Americans are now desperate for sensible policymakers who have the courage to ignore the panic and rely on facts. Leaders must examine accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasizing hypothetical projections; combine that empirical evidence with fundamental principles of biology established for decades; and then thoughtfully restore the country to function.
Five key facts are being ignored by those calling for continuing the near-total lockdown.
Fact 1: The overwhelming majority of people do not have any significant risk of dying from COVID-19.
The recent Stanford University antibody study now estimates that the fatality rate if infected is likely 0.1 to 0.2 percent, a risk far lower than previous World Health Organization estimates that were 20 to 30 times higher and that motivated isolation policies.
In New York City, an epicenter of the pandemic with more than one-third of all U.S. deaths, the rate of death for people 18 to 45 years old is 0.01 percent, or 11 per 100,000 in the population. On the other hand, people aged 75 and over have a death rate 80 times that. For people under 18 years old, the rate of death is zero per 100,000.
Of all fatal cases in New York state, two-thirds were in patients over 70 years of age; more than 95 percent were over 50 years of age; and about 90 percent of all fatal cases had an underlying illness. Of 6,570 confirmed COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions to date, 6,520, or 99.2 percent, had an underlying illness.
If you do not already have an underlying chronic condition, your chances of dying are small, regardless of age. And young adults and children in normal health have almost no risk of any serious illness from COVID-19.
Fact 2: Protecting older, at-risk people eliminates hospital overcrowding.
We can learn about hospital utilization from data from New York City, the hotbed of COVID-19 with more than 34,600 hospitalizations to date.
For those under 18 years of age, hospitalization from the virus is 0.01 percent per 100,000 people;
For those 18 to 44 years old, hospitalization is 0.1 percent per 100,000.
Even for people ages 65 to 74, only 1.7 percent were hospitalized.
Of 4,103 confirmed COVID-19 patients with symptoms bad enough to seek medical care, Dr. Horwitz of NYU Medical Center concluded "age is far and away the strongest risk factor for hospitalization."
Even early WHO reports noted that 80 percent of all cases were mild, and more recent studies show a far more widespread rate of infection and lower rate of serious illness. Half of all people testing positive for infection have no symptoms at all. The vast majority of younger, otherwise healthy people do not need significant medical care if they catch this infection.
We know from decades of medical science that infection itself allows people to generate an immune response – antibodies – so that the infection is controlled throughout the population by “herd immunity.”
Indeed, that is the main purpose of widespread immunization in other viral diseases — to assist with population immunity. In this virus, we know that medical care is not even necessary for the vast majority of people who are infected.
It is so mild that half of infected people are asymptomatic, shown in early data from the Diamond Princess ship, and then in Iceland and Italy. That has been falsely portrayed as a problem requiring mass isolation.
In fact, infected people without severe illness are the immediately available vehicle for establishing widespread immunity. By transmitting the virus to others in the low-risk group who then generate antibodies, they block the network of pathways toward the most vulnerable people, ultimately ending the threat.
Extending whole-population isolation would directly prevent that widespread immunity from developing. - (This is what the government is telling you to do and is WRONG!)
Fact 4: People are dying because other medical care is not getting done due to hypothetical
projections.
Critical health care for millions of Americans is being ignored and people are dying to accommodate “potential” COVID-19 patients and for fear of spreading the disease. Most states and many hospitals abruptly stopped “non-essential” procedures and surgery.
That prevented diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, like cancer screening, biopsies of tumors now undiscovered and potentially deadly brain aneurysms. Treatments, including emergency care, for the most serious illnesses were also missed.
Cancer patients deferred chemotherapy. An estimated 80 percent of brain surgery cases were skipped. Acute stroke and heart attack patients missed their only chances for treatment, some dying and many now facing permanent disability.
Fact 5: We have a clearly defined population at risk who can be protected with targeted measures.
The overwhelming evidence all over the world consistently shows that a clearly defined group – older people and others with underlying conditions – is more likely to have a serious illness requiring hospitalization, and more likely to die from COVID-19.
Knowing that, it is a common sense, achievable goal to target isolation policy to that group, including strictly monitoring those who interact with them. Nursing home residents, the highest risk, should be the most straightforward to systematically protect from infected people, given that they already live in confined places with highly restricted entry.
The appropriate policy, based on fundamental biology and the evidence already in hand, is to institute a more focused strategy like some outlined in the first place: Strictly protect the known vulnerable, self-isolate the mildly sick and open most workplaces and small businesses with some prudent large-group precautions.
This would allow the essential socializing to generate immunity among those with minimal risk of serious consequence, while saving lives, preventing overcrowding of hospitals and limiting the enormous harms compounded by continued total isolation.
Let’s stop underemphasizing empirical evidence while instead doubling down on hypothetical models. Facts matter.

Don't be a corna virus politically correct naive person.
The training of the useful idiot society is coming out.
Fear is the most dangerous emotion and this is how the younger generation has been raised and is being corraled by FEAR!
The younger generation "herd" has been stampeded by the FAKE news media, federal, state and local governments.
Don't panic and follow the stampede.
THINK for yourself. Do not trust the mass news media/local media nor the government telling you false information about covid-19.
I do believe President Trump has your best interests in mind along with Vice President Pence.
In the corona virus covid-19 wuhan virus case you need to realize they are relying on information and CDC doctors that are feeding you incorrect information about the corona virus.
Best interest doesn't protect you from the corona virus.
