There is no evidence to suggest there is less lasting immunity from this virus than most others is there? As i have understood it most if not all expert believe that you will have protection from the virus if you have been infected. How long is beeing speculated. Ofc they are worried that maybe one wouldent have any immunity even if you have been infected but that is just that, right, a worry? Or have i missed something here.
Herd immunity as used when beeing discussed in this setting is not an on or off button.
You will get more and more protection as larger part of the population are beeing infected.
As i have understood it the "herd immunity" is achieved once the R value is below 1 as the virus will then eventually go away. We have achieved this value with the help of other means in various places allrdy i guess but a larger increase of ppl infected allrdy helps slow down the spread more n more.
That is at least how i have understood it.
