Best case scenario if this insane plan goes ahead, 5-10k people, worst case scenario is upwards of 100k people.
Kayden Evans
If the alternative is 3.4% people dying or close to 2 million, then how is that a bad thing?
Your essentially saving 1.5 million lives.
Ayden Roberts
Too little people that are able to get sick to spread it.
Lincoln Walker
The idea is that if a great enough percentage of population is immune to a disease, the likelihood of that disease spreading is significantly reduced.
e.g., if only 1% of people are susceptible to a virus, the odds of a susceptible person coming into contact with the virus is significantly reduced, and not merely by 99 times - due to the potential for the exponential spread of viruses.

1 people are livestock
2 shitload about to die
3 survivors maybe immune, we’ll see

>herd immunity requires vaccination
No it doesn't, it's just one benefit of vaccination. You can get immunity from simply contracting the virus. The herd immunity is the effect that the virus runs out of victims to spread through and eventually dies through lack of viable hosts, that happens before 100% of people get it. Once something like 50-70% of people have had it the r0 starts to drop because its running out of potential hosts, and once you're at like 85% of people infected the virus dies out and the 15% remaining are the benefactors of the herd immunity. What that other user was saying is that ideally what we want is the 15% that never get it, be the old and at risk people.
But a vaccine is at best over a year away And the sort of self isolation it would take in order to keep most people safe for a year would bring the planet to a halt, we have to recognize that we can't just stop the supply chain of our economy, everything is interconnected we need to keep it all running otherwise we'll just die from lack of power or starvation or whatever.
The policy is NOT kill more now, that's stupid. As I said herd immunity is NOT a policy, it's just what will naturally kill the virus, loads of us will get it, it wont have anymore hosts and will eventually die. That's a description of what is going to happen and no policy is going to change that.
Yeah anything is possible in that sense, but I don't think we have any actual evidence or reason to suspect anything like that will happen. Wild speculation at this stage only causes panic.
