We, the US, do not have 90K deaths. We have about 14K deaths.

If you are gonna wait this Coronvirus out for a miracle cure, you will waiting for years if ever! Good luck being completely isolated from society for a few years!!

Let's try to approach this concept in a way that everyone can understand. The population of the United States is approximately 330 million not counting people not being counted for whatever reason. Today, I checked the number of Coronavirus infected US citizens. We have 435,128. We have 89,999 deaths. Would you agree that 435,128 is a relatively small number compared to 330 million people? (And remember, our number is so great because the United States is the only country in the world effectively testing for the virus.) Now I will grant you that we are trying to isolate but grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, restaurants, fast food places, the post office, the police, the firefighters, healthcare workers, and many office setting businesses are still operating. And if you leave the Villages, you will see plenty of vehicles on the Turnpike, 95, 4, and every other highway/road. So if herd immunity was not occurring, wouldn't the number of infected citizens be skyrocketing since millions of Americans are not isolating either by necessity or choice? The fact is that many American citizens will not get the Coronavirus but still be positive for the virus. Their bodies will build antibodies to protect them from showing the dangerous symptoms of this virus. Herd Immunity is a fact and no matter what you say to the contrary, you cannot change the natural selection process of nature. Just ain't gonna happen!
