Everything I read says that herd immunity will arrive way in advance of any vaccine. Given that herd immunity is estimated as 60% infection/recovery, then I start to understand government strategy. We need to make sure that the people more likely survive infection are in the vangard of people being exposed, keep schools open, have pop festivals and sporting events, in the most parts attended by under 60's, while at the same time keeping our most vulnerable under wraps. However this is actually the race to 60% with the proviso that we need to keep the infection rate at a level that the health service can deal with.
