“Herd immunity, or community immunity in action?”

No such thing with covid-19. It is more analogous to a cold in that regard. People can get it over and over. I heard that personally from a respected doctor I trust and it makes sense.

Unlike the cold which is regarded as just a nuisance you can bet they will hunker down and develop a vaccine for covid-19. They better because covid-19 is here to stay.

Nonsense. The reason people get colds over and over again is that there are more than 200 kinds of cold viruses, all of them different. In fact, you could say that a cold isn’t a virus; it’s the way your body reacts to many types of viruses. Some colds are rhinoviruses, some are coronaviruses.

Did you ever notice that kids seem to get colds a lot more often than middle-aged people? That’s because eventually, you’ve gotten most of the common colds.
