Herd community for covid19 is speculation right? There is no proof that that will happen is there? It is a (dangerous) gamble at this point as I understand it.

- jjeaff 7y agoAssuming patients can't get reinfected with the virus, then herd immunity will definitely work. But for herd immunity to occur, a very large portion of the herd needs to get infected. And I would assume that proportion is greater, the more infectious a disease is. The idea with the lockdowns is to keep the rate of infection slow enough that hospitals can handle the influx of cases.
