The "alternative" is exactly what the US is doing, and with which I agree completely.
When this started, we had very, very little knowledge of the specifics of the disease, of tests to detect it, or much of anything else. We have gained ALL of that in an unimaginably short time span. We now have treatment regimes and drug therapies that ARE helping prevent deaths, and we WILL shortly have a (and probably more than one) vaccine....no "herd immunity" necessary, thank you (although "some" of that will indeed happen).
Thank GOD Trump was (and is) President. He has delivered a masterful performance. Those who fault him are simply either idiots or liars. May he win a second term in a landslide, and may Pence be his successor for two terms.
Ok. Lockdown until the vaccine. Never mind there has never been a Corona virus vaccine just stay in your hidey hole that’s your choice. Everyone else be released from tyranny.
Ignore the facts and try to justify the actions you supported. Sweden is doing no worse than the US. You surrendered to tyranny and the virus didn’t go away. So now you wait for a vaccine.
