Dr. Scott Atlas (a radiologist and not an infectious disease expert or epidemiologist) is now Trump’s advisor who advocates herd immunity. Herd immunity is the concept that if you just allow an epidemic to progress unchecked, the herd (community) will develop enough immune survivors to control the epidemic. So now President Trump (who does not do mask wearing and social distancing and who has discouraged others from practicing those measures) has himself become infected with COVID19 and has been hospitalized for that disease. Welcome Mr. President to the herd.
