OBSERVATION:

This is why the idea of herd immunity is so stupid and nonsensical.

For projections of herd immunity, with:

- 330 million Americans then
- 291 million would need to be infected and recovered, and
- 6.93 million would die.

Here's the problem: 291 million is 88% of the population. Realistically, how many of the 291 million who get infected and seriously sick will actually be able to get ventilators, because that many ventilators doesn't exist on the North American continent?

And, because that 291 million number is the vast majority of the population, it will include the vast majority of the health care workers, first responders, and so-called critical workers, too. So, who will take care of them when they are all sick?

Therefore, the death number will likely be far higher than 6.93 million because the killing effects of the pandemic will have a cascading impact.

This is what your president is trying do do, America.
