The Pres. said:

'You develop immunity over a period of time. And I hear we're close to 15% [of Americans], I'm hearing that, and that's terrific, that's a very powerful vaccine in itself,' he told reporters on Tuesday.

Is someone’s time out over, hey in case you miss something, you owe John’s charity of choice $100 and let your fellow “easy” money comrade Ronny know. Unless of course you are in the delusional camp thinking Trump will get a second term.

You can't assume trends from one example, but my sister in law tested positive last summer, and just tested positive again last week. She's an ER nurse. Maybe she was one in a million. Or maybe there will be no herd immunity as the strand changes slightly...

My niece is a nurse also but in the Nicu. Brave people (along with anyone who works on the front lines). Tell her when people hear she is a nurse they say how brave they are. I tell my niece things like that all the time.

My brother knows one person who had it twice. Hopefully, there aren't that many.

Trump said it is “terrific” that 15 percent of the population has been infected with COVID (we were at 11.7% as of Nov. 28, per CDC). He meant that as a suggestion we’re getting towards herd immunity, which would be around 70%. So, clearly, not close and very much not terrific

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
