On the verge of herd immunity?

Two different things - blood donors are a smaller group that might not reflect the general population.
I think it's a fairly safe bet that blood donors are likely to be less averse to having injections and visiting medical facilities than the general population.
I was only joking

More virtuous, therefore likely to be politically conservative.

Not necessarily. Donations revolve around a lot of factors.
At least in my experience as a blood banker...

Ironically, regular bankers have more blood on their hands than blood bankers.

Must be all the ivermectin the herd’s been taking.

By the way, I don’t mean to be that guy, but if 20% of the population has had COVID, where does that put the CFR in relationship to influenza?

20% have some immunity from previous infection? That’s twice the number of cases reported in the US.
I would assume there's a large cohort of asymptomatic infected.
Also, how many of those that received the shot also had previously been infected?
I know of at least one (D2)!

And some who were very ill, but not hospitalized, before the word COVID was on the front page news.
