The main stream media devoted considerable ink to try and dispel the notion that herd immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was not likely due to the nature of the immune response to the virus. They claim (mainly citing evidence from non-peer reviewed studies), that the immune response was short-lived and that as little as 10-15% of the population may be immune. However, research published in Nature paints a different picture of how our bodies immune system responds to the virus and how different levels of exposure and disease severity may illicit an immune response that produces potent...
Looks like the Counsel On Foreign Relations won't be endorsing Trump this year. At Foreign Affairs Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is visiting the United Kingdom and Denmark this week amid a strain in the transatlantic alliance.

But once it is eventually set free, stable money, the world’s workers end up united if only in having no interest in the deplorable Marxist revolution - Trotsky, Lenin, or Mao - and its authoritarian Hotel California.

The problem is those in power don't - a majority of Republicans, police (as represented by the unions) and the judicial system. Other good news from the survey: 84% of people oppose erasing records of police misconduct every few years. 62% of people say police unions should not be allowed to collectively bargain over methods used to hold police officers accountable for misconduct.
