Horowitz: More evidence that most coronavirus cases are now weaker than the flu

Evidence continues to mount that the new infections throughout much of the country are extremely mild, with the exception of some serious cases coming over the border from Mexico. Those two facts continue to be obscured from our policy debate over containing the virus in the southern states. The governors of California, Arizona, and Texas refuse to recognize that the mild nature of these cases is good news going forward, and they continue to ignore the threat of serious cases from the border.

Distinguishing between the two phenomena has become difficult, because the cause of both of them appears to have begun in late May and continued into June, especially in border states, which weren’t hard hit to begin with and therefore had little herd immunity to combat a new round of spread. But the timing of these serious cases at the border combined with milder cases in the interior seems to make it clear that we are seeing two distinct waves: the second and mild American wave and the importation of Mexico’s first, more serious wave............

So the goal would be to get as many Americans as possible infected with the mid-American strain so that they already have immunity when the Mexican strain gets here.

That would be a racist action to be condemned by the woke

From what I've read herd immunity is unlikely with a vaccine and there so far is no scientific evidence as to what extent to which people who recover are immune from future infections.

So, the best outcome is to keep your immune system in good shape.  I take herbs and homemade elderberry.

That's what I read (and think) as well @libertybele . There is no herd immunity against the flu or the common cold.  I read that this Rona junk is a stronger cousin of theirs.

This maybe being blown out of proportion. This is more than likely being politicized. But until I can look back when it ends (if ever) I'll be cautious. I sure don't want my family sick...just in case. There isn't enough known about it yet...hence the changes of advice by the powers that be.

I make homemade elderberry cordial, which I enjoy most evenings.  Some call it elderberry tincture, but I just add some sugar.  Same thing I do, with my homemade liqueurs.
