WSJ: We’ll Have Herd Immunity by April
If a medication reduces infections by 77% over six weeks, we’d call it a miracle pill. While media and politicians are still largely ignoring the good news, it is time to be more vocal about it.
Herd immunity will be achieved when enough individuals have become immune to a virus by either: 1. receiving a vaccine, or 2. getting infected and recovering.
As the numbers indicate, the extent to which the second way to get immunity (i.e. naturally via infection and recovery) is occuring, has apparently been underestimated. However, the spike in infections observed in December has apparently accelerated the process of herd immunization.
