YES, YES, YES

The only way out of this is herd immunity, whether through vaccine, or widespread infection. And a vaccine is many months away.

America and the world have been flying blind in trying to understand Covid-19. Only now are we merely starting to understand the spread of this virus through testing of the sickest people. There is very little testing of people with few or no symptoms, to really understand Covid-19 spread (the R0 figure) and true fatality rates.

The other half will be anti-body testing, to understand how many Americans have actually been exposed, and when we will have herd immunity.

I am pretty sure I got this bug from my daughter in January. She works in a Hospital and got it from her friend that works in a different Hospital. This was the first time I had been sick in over 20 years, for me it wasn’t that bad, my wife was much worse and my daughters co-workers that got it, some were REAL BAD!, but everyone recovered in a couple weeks.

There is NO SUCH THING as “herd immunity”.

What is called herd immunity is only a lack of exposure.
