Hear me out. Trump does jackshit to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. In a few months, virtually everybody in America gets it. Millions of people die. The economic and psychological impact is tremendous. People are baying for Trump's blood. All other nations have managed to control the spread of the virus to a few hundred thousand cases.

A few months later, deep into the winter, the second wave of Covid-19 arrives. Countries across the world are vulnerable, and forced to repeat the harsh lockdown measures of the past. Except America. Because all of the survivors are immune to the virus. So people in U.S.A can just keep working and living their normal lives.


To be clear, this sounds like an implausible scenario. The last time a country tried the "herd immunity" idea, its Prime Minister (Boris Johnson) ended up in the ICU. But will networks like Fox News find a way to retroactively eulogize Trump's moronic mismanagement as sheer genius if the above comes to pass? What do you think?

Trump supporters are cultists, and will hail trump as a genius no matter what he does.

Fox News will declare any scenario a win for Trump. But the millions dead won't be forgotten so easily.

This scenario is an impossibility outside of the propaganda machine, but that'll be the narrative spun. Americans are immunized against the invisible enemy while in reality we die at our desks.

there is mounting evidence that you can get reinfected with the corona virus or that it can reactivate. So no.

...
Are you insane? If everyone got it we'd have MILLIONS of deaths. Not to mention what it would do to the healthcare system. You can't just rebound from that after a few months just because people aren't actively getting sick again

There are a ton of Americans who are praising Trump as a genius or saving the country at this very second.

We have enough threads on COVID, and we don't need ones based on irresponsible speculation.
