Nobody is taking the approach of herd immunity except some political figures who try to gain from the crisis (Armin Laschet, CDU, in particular).

- redis_mlc 7y agoActually, I am. Are you planning on lockdown until 2022?
- _ph_ 7y agoWe don't need a lockdown. We only need to have enough hygenic protections in place to keep the infection rate low. With sinking infection count, the infection rate drops to zero in many places - you do need to have contact with an infected person to get infected. Good hand hygene and wearing masks and keeping distances in most places go a long way towards preventing infections. Events like the Oktoberfest and other gatherings of thousands in direct contact might be cancelled for undetermined time, but the rest of the life can continue.
- lnsru 7y agoWith <100 daily new infections probability to successfully trace the source and check all contacts and eventually quarantine them is very high in Germany for sure. Might take a while, but there is no other real way.
