    Watch for it. When a Democrat wins the Presidency, they will say, everyone has herd immunity now and go about your business. Either that or no 2nd wave happens and even if there are more infections, it is much, much less than the official, exaggerated numbers they have come out with. Corona Virus started January 2020, it is May 17, 2020 now. How many Americans got infected and now gotten cured and gotten immunity? Like smallpox and measles, once, you get it, you develop immunity from ever getting it again. So, all those who got over Corona Virus cannot infect anyone or get infected anymore. So, the narrative of a 2nd wave and massive infections is more paranoia and hysteria promoted by extreme liberal lying political hacks and nothing else.

    Let me say... as I stated before... I give the Trump administration a pass on not acting early regarding the virus. Through January and February many countries ignored the issue for the most part... not only the U.S. Of course, all the countries were getting contradictory information about if COVID-19 was a serious threat throughout this period.

    The problem with the Trump administration is that once it was clear that COVID-19 we a serious threat in mid-March they totally fumbled the ball and failed to provide leadership. They should be held accountable for this continuing failure.

    As noted by the U.S. military medical staff.... getting infected with COVID-19 does NOT provide immunity. You can get COVID-19 as second time. Five sailors on the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt demonstrated this.

    As outlined by WHO anyone thinking that allowing the COVID-19 to spread will provide "natural herd immunity" is off their rocker. There is three reasons for this:
    • It is nearly impossible to get a population infection level much about 50% naturally. This level only slows an epidemic it does not stop it.
    • A vaccine is required to get the level of immunity of a population above 70% or so. This is a level where "herd immunity" can occur and stop a disease.
    • In the case of COVID-19 it now appears that being infected with COVID-19 does not stop you from being infected a second time. You can be infected a second time merely weeks after recovering.

    85,000+ dead and they are still fumbling the ball and failing to provide leadership.Seems Micheal Flynn is far more important.

    Well I agree with you that the media coverage, etc. is pushing the Flynn thing hard.

    I do expect that we totally disagree on the Flynn situation. I believe he was entirely railroaded by corrupt prosecution and his sentence needs to be overturned immediately & he should be released.

    That sucks,I thought I was immune.It might be harder to catch a second time because Im out and about as usual not wearing a mask, not squirting hand sanitizer every 5 minutes etc and I haven't gotten sick again.

    I think there is probably some level of immunity and the different strains might have something to do with it.

    When covid-19 magically disappears from the 95.75% of the real world's population because of US domestic politics...

    Wake up.

    There are scores of countries doing far better than the USA under their own leaders. You have a staggering level of blinkering on.

    Those so called re-infections were from dead Corona Virus cells which are totally harmless. More a function of defective test kits. We will have to see won't we? It should be apparent soon enough and let us wait for that 2nd wave they keep talking about. That should settle who is right or wrong.

    You better go read the article. The five sailors had symptoms the first time, followed by two negative tests and they had symptoms the second time. This was not about lingering RNA particles that caused a positive test after recovery.
