    Celebrating and mourning at the same time. Especially if we are emotionally attached to one of those being culled.

    When nature culls the herd, we call it natural selection.

    When we cull the herd, it's called attrocity.

    Maybe it's because we just can't do it correctly?...more humanely?

    It's a horrible position to be in. Knowing that you have a life in your hands, and letting it die.

    TBH, I'd rather that nature does it because I just don't have the stomach to wantonly kill.

    But that's me...YMMV

    Nature is not so nice when it culls a herd. Some die a slow death, some are eaten alive. Some die of starvation. No, nature is not kind. I am referring to animals in nature... not humans. It is what separates us from the animals.

    Serious inflation of words and their meaning on display... some "sense of humour" this is!

    This is moving in the right direction, may be costly but at least available IMHO

    Quest Diagnostics direct-to-consumer COVID-19 antibody testing service available, likely to yield key data

    https://www.zdnet.com/article/quest...g-service-available-likely-to-yield-key-data/

    For $119, Quest Diagnostics is allowing consumers to get COVID-19 antibody testing at GetQuest Test. The testing may give us a better picture of COVID-19's reach.

    The current Covid19 anti-body test are not that accurate. It will only show if you have had a Corona virus, not necessarily just the Covid19, but any Corona virus you could have had previously.
    The Swine Flu or what was known as H1N1 in 2009 was a Coronovirus, if you had the Swine Flu in 2009, you would also show positive for the anti-body test today, even if you did not have Covid19
