Good news. Herd-immunity is growing.

Also, this means that the death-rate is far lower than reported. And this is nice too. Maybe we can save people by starting the society again.

In other news, we see that hydroxychloroquine is actually working according to doctors. But there was a very bad study that claimed that it caused 2x as many deaths. It should have said instead that it was mainly used on patients that were close to death. Here is a good analysis of that study. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLSYRqcg0wo&feature=youtu.be...
