Lockdown was a political act. US may flaunt itself as a democracy on world stage, but its citizens are no more protected from Covid tyranny via unelected computer simulation than those of Communist China-Sherelle Jacobs, UK Telegraph

“Herd immunity was the original strategy – grin and bear it until we were capable of resisting it naturally.” commenter 

8/20/20, “The law is no protection against modern tyranny,“ UK Telegraph, Sherelle Jacobs, columnist 

“From algorithms to lockdowns, only a national love of freedom can protect us from Big Brother” 

“Lockdown was a political act, and only an electoral shift can prevent another one. The jury is out on whether that will be forthcoming. After all, we may flaunt our democratic traditions on the world stage, but on the great democratic questions of our time, we are flakey. What role should simulated technology [eg, computer models by decree] have in deciding human fate? Should man surrender freedom and individual privacy for the sake of health security? Until we can confront these questions, Britons [and Americans] are no more protected from Covid tyranny than, say, [Communist] Chinese citizens.“…(3rd parag. from end)

Just to recap: Herd immunity was the original strategy – grin and bear it until we were capable of resisting it naturally. “OH NO!!!” wailed the media, “MADNESS!!!, we need isolation and separation.”
