    We all do every single day.

    What are you talking about? If we ignore the fact that viruses are always present and mutating, we won't get them?

    I suspect we are not having the same conversation.

    At all.

      We develop immunity through vaccines, not exposure, they are finding people have gotten it again after getting it once, and my reference to Trump is that no one is immune to it not even him. Herd immunity is nothing but mass murder. IMO

        Sorry, thought you were responding to me.

          Vaccines are but one way to develop immunity.

          I suspect you don't fully comprehend what Herd Immunity is.

              Herd immunity’, also known as ‘population immunity’, is a concept used for vaccination, in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached.

              Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it...enough said

                Our district gave an option to do either on line or full in school all masks for all ages) I chosse in school both my kids thrive much better in a group learning environment. They realy needed the social element school brings. I've had some trouble fully filling back up again since my kids do in person learning. Plus the hours they want kids online 3 hours a day for my 4 year old who's in sr. Kindergarten and something like 4.5 hours for my grade 2 kid. No way youngest could have sat in front of screens that long. We can switch after Christmas in January of we want.

                    There are two paths to herd immunity
                    Natural infection and vaccines

                      Fine, I Will....World Health Organization...you acquire immunity through immunizations, see how both those words are similar

                        However, there are some major problems with relying on community infection to create herd immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19. First, it isn't yet clear if infection with the COVID-19 virus makes a person immune to future infection.

                        Research suggests that after infection with some coronaviruses, reinfection with the same virus — though usually mild and only happening in a fraction of people — is possible after a period of months or years. Further research is needed to determine the protective effect of antibodies to the virus in those who have been infected.

                        Even if infection with the COVID-19 virus creates long-lasting immunity, a large number of people would have to become infected to reach the herd immunity threshold. Experts estimate that in the U.S., 70% of the population — more than 200 million people — would have to recover from COVID-19 to halt the epidemic. If many people become sick with COVID-19 at once, the health care system could quickly become overwhelmed. This amount of infection could also lead to serious complications and millions of deaths, especially among older people and those who have chronic conditions.

                            We got snow last night! Forecast said to expect about an inch to an inch and a half. Woke up to about 10-11 inches.

                            I love snow but not when it's unexpected. Skipped my morning treadmill run and instead got my boots and my gloves and headed out the door to shovel.

                            Hubs usually takes care of the plowing for the driveway but we have several sidewalks and the back deck to clear plus the daycare house. Once we finish up at home, we head ito daycare and try to get that all cleared before the first parent arrives at 7:30.

                            It's a little after 9 here and I feel like half the day has already passed. ! ::

                            Hoping Friday gets here quick! happyface
