[Every one of those “estimates” that millions of people have already had Covid-19 can only be true if Covid-19 is several times more contagious than measles. The evidence is that Covid-19 has an R0 of around 2-4, more in line with other cold viruses and not even close to measles. So the claim that Sweden is close to achieving herd immunity is not true. ]


Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering about that. The achievement of herd immunity in months would have been been mind-boggling, and imply that this bug was the most infectious pathogen known to man.
