There have been multiple studies now that suggest significant herd immunity kicks in around 20-30% infection rate. We should see in a couple of weeks but if every state and country continues to hit an infection wall around 30%, it bodes well that the end is near.
It also suggests that even 10-50M vaccines (in the US) can make an enormous impact and this thing may be over (as a severe widespread issue) in 2020.
I'm excited to see the next 4-6 weeks of data on this.
- SomeoneFromCA 6y ago"Herd Immunity" is a spectrum, as some already commented. It depends highly on the introduced restrictions measures. So for some limited masking it will appear at the earlier moment, but once people stop wearing them, the threshold will go up.
