The US, or at least the bay area, pays more.
Besides, you guys are generating herdv immunity as fast as possible. Time it right and moving to the US could greatly decrease your chances of being infected.
- seanieb 6y agoI would love to hear where you got the idea: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/from-our-experts/early-herd-immunity-against-covid-19-a-dangerous-misconception https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/from-our-experts/early-herd-immu...
- gpm 6y agoTo be clear, this is a individual strategy not a group one. It's moving from a place with a curve that spikes late, to a place with a curve that spikes early, such that you dodge both spikes. This doesn't work for society as a whole (which can't just up and move to dodge the virus). Nor am I claiming that California has yet achieved any substantial degree of herd immunity. Just that projecting current rates forward I think you will before I actually end up moving there (it helps that I have a lot of flexibility). That said, the 70% figure in your article is too high. Research [1] and experience in Sweden [2] suggests that there are substantial benefits at just 40%.
