I think you are missing the point. We are long past the point of containment. We will get to herd immunity no matter what. The question becomes, how to do it safely. The answer is to have in place sufficient capacity. One can have sufficient capacity easily if R is kept low. There are other ways of getting there (i.e., actually increasing capacity), or a combination thereof.
- kmonsen 6y agoWe will hopefully not get hers immunity. Spain, Italy and Sweden are not close yet and they were pretty close to capacity, same with NYC. There is no safe way to get to herd immunity, it’s vaccine or nothing.
- dillonmckay 6y agoI agree with you. I have yet to see evidence that once somebody is infected, they cannot get re-infected. Not to mention, the vaccine needs to work on the correct strain AND be administered to what, 70% of the population?
