You'd have to kill almost 16 million Americans to get herd immunity. This is the math.
CDC numbers on COVID-19: 73,297 dead, 1,219,066 cases. (6% fatal)
US population: 330,000,000
Herd immunity: 80% immune (assuming immunity after the first time you get it), requiring 264 million cases.
Six percent of 264 million = 15.84 million.

If you do, do that in the middle of summer when it’s humid and hot. It’ll prob cut it really short. The first time you get it will be a shock for your body for some I think I got it for the first time in the middle of the winter and it was horrible. Later your body learns to fight it off faster when it remembers the virus.

Thanik you so much for being honest enough to only put quotes around "herd Immunity"
Because there is NO safer place to be than out in your own yard, soaking up the fresh air and sunshine.

Who is Pete Hegseth? Not disagreeing with you. I just don't know who he is. Regardless, I don't think there's proof that once you've had the virus, you'll never get it again.
EDIT: thx for the link. Is this the same freak who was drooling on camera a few months ago hoping for an all-out war after Trump killed the Iranian general?
