Then we're in agreement, I can under stand someone may be emotional about a sick relative, but I also believe we should make decisions base on facts and not emotions.

Here immunity is not built by catching a disease or virus. That’s not how that works.

noun

1. the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that results if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease, especially through vaccination.

The Judyites decision to fire CJL was a regrettable decision based on emotion due to media hysteria at the time about supposed abuse of college athletes.

We could have continued with all the conference championships.  Sure, he beat UCF who was recruiting to a lower conference.  I'm so glad we've returned to this topic. It has been a few days.

Every now and then it’s fun to poke the stray dog.

But facts can be so hard to sort through. On the one hand, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who's advised six different presidential administrations and is literally one of the world's foremost experts on this very situation says I should keep social distancing and staying home for a bit longer. On the other hand, the host of a reality TV show told me I should eat Tide pods and spray my insides with Lysol. Who do I believe?

I can tell your a consumer of daily propaganda, as you're taking the President out of context.

I follow Reckitt Benckiser on Twitter. I didn't realize we'd gotten to the point where we're calling the maker of Clearasil a pusher of propaganda.

That is the preferred method if a vaccine is available but in the absence of one if 60 percent of people are less susceptible because they have the antibodies thru exposure it is also achieved and diseases spread is greatly reduced and far more controlled. The often cited 1918 spanish flu is an example of this, it did not miracle itself away it eventually was caught by enough people that it was no longer a grave issue.
