看到另一篇文章,White House Appears to Endorse Herd Immunity Strategy for COVID-19

October 12, 2020 WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration Monday appeared to endorse a strategy of herd immunity for the COVID-19 pandemic without waiting for vaccines to be rolled out, with one White House official saying that "we cannot eliminate all cases, so what we do is focus on saving lives."
Two administration officials held a press call -- speaking on condition of anonymity -- to discuss the Great Barrington Declaration, which was issued on Oct. 4. The declaration states, "Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health," and argues that keeping lockdown measures in place "until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed."
However, the officials didn''t indicate when a formal policy would be issued or what it would look like; the federal government''s ability to overrule public health measures taken by the states and local governments is severely limited.
In fact, the unusual format for announcing the shift in policy -- not offered as a prelude to an executive order or presidential address, as is typical for White House "backgrounders" -- may suggest the press call was merely a trial balloon to gauge public response.
