People are still getting herd immunity twisted.
Forget about it as a policy or justification of a ‘strategy’.
It’s concept at play right now in Stockholm and New York. It will also be at play in other communities really badly hit (navel vessels etc).
A week ago the WHO estimated 3% of the world’s population had been infected. For herd immunity to solve the edidemic ~ 60% need to be infected so that isn’t happening. However the if (for instance) 25% of a community population have immunity then yes, that will reduce transmission.
