Re: Covid 19 Coronavirus

You are promoting herd immunity as if it is a magic pill when actually we don't even know that such a utopia exists. Rather than imprison our vulnerable for the remainder of their time on Earth we need a virus beating test system and a support scheme for those who test positive to make it economica...
