Which is why I keep encouraging Trump to start holding rallies. Maybe hold PPE burnings...

>> A few day ago I posted an interview with a MD director of infectious research and policy at some university and he calculates that 50% to 70% of the population needs to be infected to get herd immunity and that works out to 800,000 to 1.6 million deaths. So, if we know how many deaths it will take (and I agree that we do, within reason), and everyone stays home, how do you ever get immunity? We have been told it will be another 16 months before there is a vaccine and everyone seems to agree that is optimistic. And it may never happen. So do we sit at home forever?
