The reason I said I want Atlas on a ventilator is because I saw a report that he was meeting with health care officials yesterday pushing for his INSANE herd immunity approach to be adopted. 

I don't favor going after herd immunity, but it is not insane.  It is the approach that Sweden has gone for, and though I have been critical of its approach, that was not a policy that was designed by someone who suffers from mental illness.  The man who devised the policy, Anders Tegnell, is a infectious diseases physician with a masters in epidemiology.  You can accurately claim that Atlas doesn't have the qualifications for the position he is holding in the administration; you cannot claim that for Tegnell.

As a general point, though, if you label policy positions with which you disagree as being "insane" how can you possibly engage with them?  How can you think about the relative merits and drawbacks?  How do you even examine your own positions?
