of showboating. You know if he's coughing and trying to get through his interviews and stuff. But on the other hand it's real. You know it's not showboating if it's real. And if it's real and he's willing to keep working I would be very interested in watching that programming. I've told you before that watching Chris Cuomo interview his brother the governor of New York is some of the best, just s…

If you get a little trace of the virus and your immune system gets a little bit of warning before the virus gets too big then it's a fair fight. So there seems to be a big difference whether you get it early or whether you get a little bit of dose or a big dose even though both of them can infect you.
So the idea would be to give people intentional small doses, treating them early. I assume that this part I might be adding to the idea but let's say you give them the hydroxychloroquine if that works and it works when you get it early. So you would build a group of people who all have immunity and then once they've all tested positive but they don't have, you know it doesn't look like they have, they would spread it. Then you just release them into the wild and you've created a whole bunch of immune people and then you just do it again with another batch.
Now would that work or would that just spread the disease everywhere? I don't know. You know it definitely falls into the category of if you don't have a better idea maybe you try it. So it doesn't sound like the safest thing in the world for a variety of reasons. But what we're doing now might not be the safest thing in the world either.
Let's see. Just looking at your comments. Some of them I don't want to read out loud because a lot of you have medical opinions and I'm not sure I want to randomly spout the medical opinions I'm seeing in the comments even if they're right. Somebody says this is the concept of a vaccine. Well not exactly because the vaccine would be a non-deadly version. You can't be a little bit pregnant. Actually you can. Yeah with the virus apparently you can be a little bit pregnant meaning that you could have a low initial viral load versus high viral load.
On the same point there was a story. It was in the state of Washington where there was a choir who decided to hold their choir practice despite the fact that the coronavirus was becoming a bigger thing. But the state had not yet told people not to meet in groups. So it was right at the end of when you could still meet in a group and they did. And the problem was they had to do choir practice of course all in the same room. And I think there was something like 45 of them who ended up with the virus. And the thinking which sounds logical to me is not just that they were in the same room and not just that they did not do social isolation. They were close to each other

. But there was some thinking that the singing itself might have been contributing. Meaning that if you sing you're exhaling more aggressively and you're all standing together exhaling aggressively because you're singing. So that might have been the very worst situation you could possibly imagine. Where a bunch of people with no face masks are exhaling air in the same space for a couple hours. I m…
