UK has scrapped their “herd immunity” aka “mayor from Jaws” strategy

I was kind of hoping to see how that played out.

Many of the retards here thought it was a great idea

Bummer, I wanted to see a comparison. Could have been useful data points.

me too

I was really hoping they'd do it and be massively successful, so that we wouldnt have to endure this again in 10 years when the next viral outbreak is

So what exactly was their strategy? Just not do anything and let it kill off the old and weak?

ust not do anything and let it kill off the old and weak?

quarantine the old/at risk

let the people who have low threat levels to cycle through

i guess they couldn't adequately quarantine their at risk populations

What's the downside there? How long do you think each of them would have, on average, if the virus had not come around? A year, maybe two? So what if some liberal wants to call me a heartless bastard for saying this, but I would wager that summing up the current productiveness of all the victims gives you a net drain on society, and probably a fairly large one. Quit getting in the way and let the damn plague do its thing, man.

it's hard to fathom, but nearly all of Europe, including the UK, is run by people crazier than US democrats.

I love how people are saying a country should try it. Look at Northern Italy. Imagine them not shutting down. It isn’t that hard to see it won’t work.
