Herd Immunity Threshold for Covid is likely much lower than initially estimated
- canada_dry 6y agoI predict that the number of early adopters of a newly released covid vaccine is likely going to be very low (i.e. compared to take-up rate for an annual flu vaccine) due to perceived risk of rushing the trials and production. So I suppose the lower threshold is a good thing.
- salmon30salmon 6y agoThis speaks somewhat to what I've posted about before, saying most lockdowns in the the USA were too strict and too early; before there was any community spread. The result of this shortsightedness is that we've exhausted our lockdown patience without any curve flattening. Now we are all unprotected by any community immunity and opening up. We dug our grave when we instituted lockdowns before there was any need (in most places).
