It's also the fact that, to put it bluntly, many of the people who were the most susceptible to be sent into ICU or to die because of Covid have already had that happen to them. Not sure if that scenario is included in the definition of "herd immunity", to be honest, just wanted to point that (cynical) truth out.
- lamontcg 5y agoYeah and at some point the remaining people who haven't formed any kind of natural immunity many just be "hard to infect". Their ACE2 receptors might be different, or their innate+intrinsic defenses shred the virus very effectively before infection really gets going. They just aren't accommodating hosts for the virus due to some trick of their own biology/genetics. Selection effects work both ways.
