I'm not sure what you mean by "agreed upon", but they are, blatantly, obviously, preventing (lots of) infections in lots of countries at this point.

- redis_mlc 5y agoOr, you know, corona is a highly contagious disease and after a year we've reached herd immunity in the US. Which is basically what the NIH just reported on June 22, 2021: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-study-suggests-covid-19-prevalence-far-exceeded-early-pandemic-cases https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-study-sugg... The NIH report debunks two common tropes on HN: 1) That consumer masks work - they don't stop the spread of corona. 2) That COVID-19 vaccines are necessary for herd immunity - we already had it beforehand. This was obvious (and I mentioned that here several times) since early 2020 if you look at the Santa Clara hospital ICU utilization, which averaged only 10% throughout most of the pandemic because of daily flights from China to SFO causing widespread infections in SF and SC. Sorry for reporting actual science (with data) on HN, instead of the garbage discussed here since early 2020. My bad.
