The plan will have to be well identified and enforced. The mask will be what identifies the fodder from the herd.

The threatening of your job will continue under the radar as it always has under MAGAT employers.

Let the deplorables gather to feed the virus and pass it back and forth. The only problem with that is our healthcare system will be overwhelmed trying to keep them from dying.

Front-line medical workers number one, but also the grocery workers, and anyone else unlucky enough to come into contact with them.

The virus cares nothing about a person’s political views.

I know this is a whimsical idea. But the virus needs to take its course to develop herd immunity, we have the volunteer fodder.

since people are getting reinfected after being deemed recovered by testing negative.

So that is not even a possibility, it's wishful thinking that herd immunity is possible and if it is, we don't know how long it takes to get there yet.

But there could be a mass reduction in the "base" by the end of summer either by awakening or death. Running out of MAGAts is one of the best things that could happen.
