   	Of which, ACCORDING TO THE CDC SO THERE'S NO WHINING ABOUT   
   FAKE NEWS, only 6% actually died from it. The other 94% had an average   
   of 2.7 other contributing factors. Which means: about 31k actually   
   from the virus. Which, IIRC, is slightly less than what the flu kills   
   every year. So: yeah. Just not impressed.   
      
   	Also consider that there would be fewer deaths had places like   
   New York not *mandated* that old folks homes take covid patients.

   	Herd immunity can happen in other ways.
