We already know that there is **** all herd immunity in the
places stupid enough to just let the virus rip like Sweden.

Michael Osterholm, of the University of Minnesota's CIDRAP, has pointed out
that rosy predictions about herd immunity were blown out of the water by what
happened in prisons, where the virus didn't slow down until nearly all the
prisoners had been infected.




otoh, the Marion facility in Ohio had around 2000 positive cases, most
of which were asymptomatic. I could never get hard figures on the deaths
but despite having an aging prison population they were minimal. Had the
cells been filled with dying prisoners the media would have been all
over it.


Since the US Covid survival rate is ~99.8% that means if 4 people out
of 2000 inmates die, assuming almost every inmate at Marion at the
peak population (2033) was infected, they are duplicating the average
in America.
I doubt 4 inmates dying would make the news.
According to BJS.GOV the normal death rate in state and local prisons
is more than that anyway (0.25%)
