Rand Paul pretended, in a Senate hearing, that #TrumpVirus infections in New York may have declined because of herd immunity.
Less that 20% of New Yorkers have been infected. It takes around 70% being infected (and recovered) to achieve herd immunity.
Rand Paul is an idiot.

Rand Paul talked about the large number of infections that happened in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. He implied (but did not outright say) these were due to attempts at social distancing. He neglected to mention Trump's refusal of PPE or masks.
Rand Paul said New York had more per capita deaths than Sweden, which didn't do a lockdown like NY did. But Sweden had a worse record than any other Scandinavian country. And NY had to fight against Trump's dedication to stochastic genicode.
Rand Paul spent four of his five minutes in a Senate hearing berating Dr. Fauci, with a series of lies and nonsense. Then he asked if Fauci would withdraw his request for social distancing.
Dr. Fauci declined. Wisely.
