Notable quote: “I don’t dispute the science. The impression I have, in the end, with Covid-19, is that the spread rate will diminish dramatically because of something. I believe it will be herd immunity. Herd immunity can result from a person’s inherent immunity, continued spread resulting in new immunity and a vaccine or vaccines.” (Source: Gold Country Media)
