When we have herd immunity Boris will face a reckoning on this pointless and damaging lockdown
[Telegraph] At the beginning of March, a lively debate took place about whether Britain should pursue a strategy of "herd immunity" – allowing coronavirus to spread until so many people had developed antibodies that it no longer posed a threat to public health – or place the entire country under lockdown. As is well-known, Boris Johnson initially embraced the former, saying the public needed to take the virus "on the chin", then performed a U-turn and imposed a full lockdown on March 23....
A reckoning is all very well, but what is the alternative? The gentleman now leading Labour who is busily cleaning out the occasional Jew-hater in his party?

#3 Saved 0 lives and killed 50,000 closing the health system to anything but Y2k Flu.

Far more man years destroyed by lockdown than the few sick it finished off.

#4 You know, recently I've been wondering.
We know that the original covid lies; it's not dangerous, there is no human transmission, hug a Chinese person, herd immunity; came from China through WHO.
What I'm wondering is
Did the subsequent "covid is hoax, lockdown is Auschwitz, masks are unconstitutional" movement developed spontaneously - like poison mushrooms growing in dark places - or it's still directed & financed from China?

#5 "Herd Immunity" seems to be a PC way of saying "Thinning the Herd".

#6 ...as played out, thinning the pension lists and the associated costs, also known as 'flatting the curve'.
