“Herd immunity holds that when approximately 60% of a population gets a virus then the other 40% are way less likely to get it because there are fewer potential transmitters of the disease around.”

Huh?

Maybe you meant there are fewer potential receivers of the disease around?

Looking at it that way, once 300 million people in the USA have died from it - odds are pretty good that the other 40 million won’t get it!
