Perhaps the answer is to select groups of healthy people to become infected on purpose.

Since the problem seems to be that not enough people are getting infected and developing immunity.

These Cuomo press conferences are brutal and nonsensical. Does he really have to run to the cameras every day to say what we already know and pass along stories about his Mutha and Fatha?

A question for anyone who might know or heard it mentioned. Possibly stupid..........

My husband and I have decided, as many have, to stay in our home. No one in, no one out, except for very necessary things. We live in South Carolina, not easy when the birds are singing and spring is here, 75 degrees and going into the 80s, .........is there a risk if people open their windows and screen doors in their homes.
