Herd immunity is only going to be around 10 to 20% because of previous cross-reactivity with common cold viruses.
Sweden Italy and New Zealand have already hit herd immunity. They're done with the virus and didn't have 50 percent.
And before you post that they have a few cases recently... understand herd immunity doesn't mean the virus is gone...it just means the virus has nowhere to jump to... so there will always be a smattering of cases.
- bkor 6y agoI think you misread an article. I saw one mention that 20% decline the infection rate. That's entirely different than herd immunity. I don't see any article saying that the mentioned countries have hit herd immunity. Especially New Zealand seems questionable, they've gone to a full lockdown, not for herd immunity.
