@Dutchess_III Dude…they didn’t use ‘herd immunity’ in the first reference to it, here “As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls, they say.
And this would be a much more “compassionate” approach.”

University of Reading cellular biology expert Dr Simon Clarke, meanwhile, says whether herd immunity is even achievable remains unclear.
“Natural, lasting, protective immunity to the disease would be needed,” he says.
“And we don’t know how effective or long-lasting people’s post-infection immunity will be.”
