This is what I said and I was quite correct although it really wasn't a pandemic then, just as it is not a pandemic now. That's just what the politicians and media were calling it.

Herd immunity now in just 6 days in The US. Some states like The Dakotas are already there.
This nonsense is laughable. Except for the fact that anyone asserting this "natrual herd immunity" crap is pushing for the death of millions of Americans.
---guess what?---we're almost there---
U.S. Could Reach Herd Immunity with 47 Percent Infection Rate, Study Finds

The United States could reach herd immunity against coronavirus when only around 47 percent of the population has been infected, a team of scientists has estimated.
In a pre-print study—one that has not been peer-reviewed—scientists found that the level of herd immunity the nation requires to emerge from the pandemic could well be significantly lower than frequently cited "classical" estimates of 60 percent or higher.

Berke said their research also suggests that the end state of the pandemic will be characterized by "bursts" or "spikes" of infections in different regions.
"Even after we've reached a population averaged 'herd immunity,' outbreaks may still erupt in different communities at different times,"

You also posted all these (and more).
Yes. --everyone of those postings has been shown to be correct. Many people now call this the second wave.
Oh, I totally agree it is a second wave. But when someone says to me that COVID-19 is over, that means we defeated it. Its gone. That was never the case.
You'll notice I said "current" though.
It's amazing how many idiot politicians have suddenly become health experts. They know relatively nothing. Smarter ones like DeSantis and Noem allow life to continue as normal as possible while allowing for this second "wave" to run it's course. Basically 5 days from herd immunity right now while FL, ND and SD are likely there already.
