Miscellaneous


You've probably seen this term used a lot over the course of this pandemic: herd immunity. It's the goal for an eventual COVID vaccine, to achieve herd immunity so there just aren't that many people left to infect with the virus. But there's been a greater debate going on over herd immunity when it comes to lockdowns, especially now as the White House embraces the concept; we told you on this show about a group of some 6-thousand scientists who signed onto a declaration opposing the closures of businesses and schools, in the name of achieving herd immunity. So we're going to debate this issue today with two physicians. Halloween is just a little over two weeks away. Some cities like Beverly Hills have banned trick-or-treating. But are there safe ways to celebrate without risking infection? Infection rates...spiking in many states. So we're also going to go in depth with the former aid to Vice President Mike Pence to get her take on the White House response. Or, a possible lack of response. And the California Republican Party shows no signs of backing down when it comes to those unofficial ballot drop boxes. Learn more about your ad choices.
