The problem with the herd immunity idea is that 80-90% of the population must have had the disease before herd immunity kicks in. Only 5% of the US population has had it so far, and in many places the ICUs are already at capacity. Our hospitals will be overwhelmed long before we get to herd immunity. So why push this now when President Trump says a vaccine is ready?

I’m young, I’m healthy, and I’m opting out of this herd immunity experiment the business elites and their buddies in Congress seem so intent on pushing on the American people.

I'm old and healthy and living in NYS, and it being winter, I only go to the stores for food.

I'm 77, bp 118/65 wt 116, 5'4" and the first and only flu I had was in 1970. Haven't had a gone since I was a kid. I take Vit C when I get a sniffle....and voila...nothing comes of it.

And I won't take the vaccine BECAUSE I've never been sick.
