We'll get herd immunity when we get a vaccine. The option until then is to continue to try to control the spread.

Again, I’m not saying we should be doing what we’re doing, I’m saying this is what the country is doing. I heard they broke up a wedding in NYS that had 10,000 people? And NYS is one of the few states still doing well.
I don’t know if there can be herd immunity or where we are on the path, I’m saying it is the only “positive” outcome possible, because most people are not behaving in a way that it can be controlled.
