Pennsylvania's Amish Community May Have Already Reached Herd Immunity
From Zero Hedge
The center caters to the Amish and has more than 33K patients. While both communities initially complied with the stay at home orders, they reopened churches last spring, where they went back to sharing communion cops and "holy kisses" (described as a special church greeting).
As the virus tore through the community over the summer, by August, the area was reporting daily positivity rates (the share of those tested who test positive) north of 20%. Cases ebbed headed into the fall, but soon started to climb again as the weather turned colder.
Over the past 6 weeks, the parochial medical center hasn't reported a single case of COVID. Eric Lofgren, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Washington State University, said herd immunity is possible but rare. "It would be the first general population in the United States that’s done it," Lofgren said.
After 1 year of COVID it's obvious that lockdowns are no better than doing nothing. No government is going to backtrack, they will double down , they will say lockdowns did not work because them were too soft. Hard lockdowns would have worked. No country accepts the Asian approach, test, test & test and if you are infected you are isolated , and only people infected are isolated. That was against liberties , but to lockdown everybody and close businesses and destroy the economy that is ok.
Of course for the movements the worse the better. If things are ok no one wants to ear about the politicians. These days politicians are everyday on the TV.
