Scientists in UK were postulating that over half the population had already had CV, and that they were approaching herd immunity. But they they tested for antibioties, and only 7% had been esposed.
It’s not likely that much of the US has been exposed either, but they should still sample the population to find out our status.
I still think we could go back to work if everyone work masks and goggles. I think if we wait for herd immunity we will be waiting a long times.
All so true.
We are, as a Country, WAY behind the curve.
If we could get up to speed in 2 or 3 weeks we could save ourselves.
Do you have a link to the 7% exposed?
First I have heard of that, although I did hear the 50% model had been debunked.
That’s why I find Sweden’s approach so interesting. I have read that Swedes are resisting lock-down. Schools and restaurants are open, although government has banned large-gatherings.
Their experiences will be invaluable in see the true effects of coronavirus on a normally-functioning society and also, how quickly herd immunity develops. I hope their politicians and society have the strength to maintain their openness.
