As I said many of months ago, the US’s most realistic covid strategy here is semi-controller herd immunity. Why? - we have two long porous borders with neighboring countries - we have a big country with lots of people - there is a “not listen to govt” culture

- we have way too many infections to contact trace - we lack the competence to contact trace - legally, many of the strategies we’d like to use are unconstitutional - even if they weren’t, judges may temporarily rule against them It just is what it is.

We can mandate masks, encourage social distancing, push for vaccines, not stop studies for HCQ or similar, but that’s all. We basically just need to hope that reinfection is not possible.

Average age of infection came down a lot, too. Any ways we can get that even lower helps. Agree with this message a lot. Countries are so different from one another and you take the good with the bad.
