1. Actually I think they're hoping History will call "herd immunity" a winning strategy.

Then they'd be seen as brilliant and insightful -- instead of the useless do-nothings they actually are.

2. If it is, then it isn't working very well. Look at the number of deaths and new cases.

3. We Floridians who have some sense

are following our own counsel. The hell with government mandates or lack thereof. Doing what we think is the best way to avoid the scourge. Season is about to start with thousands expected here soon. So it's more isolating, wearing masks everywhere and distancing. Another year of this at least.

5. Yup, this

Almost everyone I see in stores, etc. wear masks -- and, many places here in PBC make you wear a mask, and enforce it. The cannabis dispensary literally trespass folks who refuse. I've seen them do it. Same at my gym -- everyone always wears a mask.

7. It is true older people are smarter

We have a healthy respect for life ... especially our own!

4. Their strategy is to deny the problem until trump wins

After he loses, they can enforce stuff and blame Joe, hopefully relieved they’ll be saving lives

6. Herd immunity has little chance since anti-bodies don't last more then a few months.

Sounds like something idiot hoaxers might push, though.

8. I hope they are now realizing that..

white people are not immune.

9. They expect TOURISTS this year

10. People would go visit there?

Unfuckingbelievable
