Assuming immunity from covid is even possible, herd immunity is estimated to happen when 67% of the population has been infected. That means 3.35 million citizens of Alabama would have to contract Covid, survive, and establish immunity to reach this hypothetical herd immunity. + https://twitter.com/heerjeet/status/1281774497800970240
(AL has a pop of ~5mil). With an estimated mortality rate of 0.28% that would mean 3,359,380 citizens of Alabama would need to contract the disease because 9,380 of these people would die, thus not contributing to herd immunity. +
Cool cool, the GOP of AL wants that many of their own citizens to die.
Not to mention the horrific long term effects of surviving the virus.
