[quote=360view]Previously we were told that
only after most countries reach 60% total recovered and “Herd Immunity” status,
could one particular country tally up its deaths
and then compare itself to other countries total deaths when those countries population reached 60% recovered.

That still sounds right to me.

Sweden is only at about 8% recovered from COVID-19 and has 52% to go.

My guess there is maybe 5 to 15% in every population that is somehow immune to COVID-19.

With the prior AIDS epidemic it took years before it was discovered that some people have the CCR5 DELTA-32 gene variation that makes them immune to HIV.

You can pull this back up in a couple of months and hold me to it, but I don’t think we need to get anywhere near 60% infection rate to benefit from herd immunity. I think we will find out that a fairly hefty portion of the population has some level of inherent immunity to coronaviruses. This can be witnessed around the world and particularly in Europe as the infection rate is way down even though most countries have significantly reduced their emergency measures. The bell curve is playing out in virtually every country.
