Re-infection is *unlikely and people may develop a protective antibody but it is unclear how long that lasts.* Meanwhile over half of a population must be infected in order to develop herd immunity. That’s a horrifyingly risky fucking gamble for a state to take as a strategy.

I know lockdown sucks and can be such a mental-emotional health strain but please folks, if you are able, do that. Let’s get whatsapp and video chat groups poppin, physical distancing doesn’t demand total social isolation.

the casual, nonchalance talk of half-a-million deaths (bizarrely assuming the NHS isn't overrun, and well over a million if it is) as a planned strategy in the UK media is terrifying, even beyond what's happening in the US
-
Letting it be overrun is probably part of the plan, since it's a great justification for privatisation

Especially since I had seen this coverage. Not that I’m trusting much out of the states: https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/484942-japan-confirms-first-case-of-person-reinfected …
