It is going to be a revelation concerning where things go from here. My belief is that Trump is stupid enough to try a stealth “herd immunity” effort, that seems to be what the clown from the Hoover Institute is softening the ground for. And due to COVID19 exhaustion, people may not react to that attempt the way they should.

I met a guy while out shopping over the weekend that had lost 4 family members to COVID19, I believe people like him will know better than try for “herd immunity” without a vaccine. I am not sure about families like mine that have not lost anyone or had anyone test positive yet.
