Since the US Covid survival rate is ~99.8%

IDK where you got that number. I see 500K dead, 28 mil cases,
that's 1.7%. Even if you account for some number of cases never
identified, I don't see any credible sources saying the death rate is
only 0.2%. Not here or anywhere.

It is based on a projection of the number of people who got
Covid, got better spontaneously and were never tested.

So a number straight from someone's arse.

I can't find the article right now but it was based
on positive antibody tests in people who never
presented at a doctor or went to a hospital.

Don't believe that with your 10:1 ratio.

I suppose Bowman's observation about the fatalities
or lack thereof at Marion tends to verify that.

Nope, the demographics and exposure there are totally different.
That's why the Marion data was such dramatic news, stupid.

Three or 4 dead inmates is not going to make the news. Forty would.

Pity about the demographics.

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%)

Herd immunity happens in ANY environment — eventually. The question is how
many members of a herd must get infected (or vaccinated) before their immunity

or death

serves to protect the remaining members of the herd from infection. By
reducing the other variables such as distancing, the prison "experiment" shows
that the number for SARS-CoV-2 is MUCH higher than Makary's 55%.

No it does not. That isnt what happened with smallpox,
polio, typhoid or even measles now without vaccination.

Yep. And even the places like sweden which just let
covid rip didnt get anything like 50%, let alone the
80% you need for covid to no longer be a problem.
