> while even generous herd immunity estimates require 60% of the population to have developed immunity
The second half of the article purportedly being discussed claims that because of the variability of R0, the herd immunity threshold might be much lower than this. For example, "The paper’s 10 authors, who include Gomes and Langwig, estimate that the threshold for naturally acquired herd immunity to COVID-19 could be as low as 20% of the population." Are you taking this into account when you claim that a 60% threshold is "generous"?
