“Herd immunity” refers to the effect of a successful vaccination program. It doesn’t mean everyone just gets sick. Lol. That would be referred to as “failure.”
The virus is dangerous to those over 70 years old. For most everyone else - get on with your life.
To call it a “cold” is hyperbolic though and playing politics.
Everyone can get on with their life. Let science and the free market do their thing. I know this is a political forum but social engineering either way rubs those who value freedom the wrong way.
More testing than ever. Daily death toll far below the 2000 a day average during April. I don’t wear a mask seeing that the death toll/% is so low. Less than 1/10th of 1%.
My state has more deaths this year due to car accidents.
Exactly. More fatal car accidents than covid deaths. Most people in car accidents are young and healthy, while most die of covid are older than 70 with underlying medical conditions.

Is there a daily tally of how many tests are administered?
Of course.
One of the most imports stats is positivity rate —- not the number of new cases, but the new of new cases in relationship to the number of new tests. Check out: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states
You will see that the positivity rate definitely trending upwards again.
Where are all of the deaths from the so-called "super spreader" Sturgis motorcle rally back in July.
Oh yeah -- there weren't any.
Very true. Those silly geese are scrambling to ramp up the Rona counts for the election. Heck, that was their goal since day one.
That being said, you generally have to be strong and healthy to participate in a motorcycle rally. An old man with an impaired immune system won't be able to do it. Plus, most of it was outdoors. Which makes the event a non-starter for Rona. If someone did get sick, they were regular-sick, not Rona.
Are they older with other serious illnesses? They may be hospitalized anyway with or without covid.
