I heard a new coronavirus term today on CNN’s Michael Smerconish show -- “herd immunity.” This refers to the fact that viruses, such as our current gift from the Chinese Communists, are bound to spread across the world and there is really no stopping them.
The only rational strategy is to slow a new virus down (“flatten the curve”) to avoid overburdening our healthcare facilities ... and trying to protect our more vulnerable populations such as, in this case, our older people.
It seems to this observer that this is the precise path that the Trump administration is following ... augmented with a rush for a vaccine and an effective treatment for those seriously afflicted. And on top of these medical approaches, Trump’s administration is fighting to minimize the damage to our economy ... which could be considerable. But for this, we need some bipartisan politics ... seemingly more difficult than creating a COVID-19 vaccine.

Too litle, , too late. He should have done this two months ago when he was warned about the coming crisis and said there was nothing to worry about.
Two months ago was January 21st, right in the middle of his impeachment trial. Can you not see why his focus was not 100% on what was happening in China? Bu still 10 days later he closed the border to them ... eve before the final vote on his fate. What were your beloved Democrats doing during this time? [sound of crickets]
