From personal observation, I reckon that 80% of the UK has immunity. and one of the papers this morning puts it as high as 90% ( outside care homes ). It's hard to find sensible information, as the money Pharmers seem to suppress and distort everything. There is also considerable blocking of content as a result of legal threats. Just try to find information about the $500 million compensation fund that PayPal had to set up because it was misusing clients funds. That was all over the net for a week or two, and then it vanished, just as PayPal relocated outside the US.
Did you just say 80% of UK has immunity based on your own personal observation? Is that based on you thinking that 80% of people in the UK have already have it, or that their body just has a natutal immunity to COVID?
Very curious on the line of thinking there. Because here's my line of thinking:
CDC says that we probably catch 1/10 cases that actually have COVID. Meaning that for every 10 cases that there really are, only one of them are caught by tests. Lets consider this for New York where they have about 474k cases that have been confirmed. From that, you could say that another 10x the amount of people have it. So that would mean that 4.7m people in New York had it at a point.
Just for context 20m people live in New York meaning that even on the high end of the scale, that would mean that only about 25% of NY had Corona. Herd immunity isn't achieved until you hit about 75-80%
for once your actually quite accurate
in some area's of NY some neighbourhoods had 69% some had 59% and some had 13%. calculating the populations over all they suggest NY the epicenter city had ~26% overall spread
then outside the city in NY state.. the numbers went below 13%
then outside NY state the numbers were even lower
best guess is about 5% is the upper max spread of all americans. (but suggestions are much lower)
funny part is idiots like say badecker who was crying that the lockdown was implemented in his state(arizona) when case numbers were super low.. thus admitting less cases in his state/no cases(when he flips to virus is fake)) .. but then says that his state is somehow then at herd immunity the next time he flips..
thus contradicting his other words
its just stupid how these idiots pretend the virus is fake then suddenly flip to say people already had it. and then even more stupid to say its important to be 'herd immune' while not realising if they really thought it was fake/not harmful. then immunity wont be important as there is no harm
it just shows how stupid these 'we need herd immunity' people are because they dont even understand the crap the talk about
Heh, not sure who exactly I've been inaccurate in recent communications, though it is totally possible.
But back onto the topic here. Yeah - some areas were totally harder hit then others and MAY have herd immunity just within that particular community. Still though, in one of the hardest hit states in regards to cases (second to California and now Florida) they are still not even CLOSE to the numbers we would have to hit to have herd immunity come into effect.
The amount of death and illness that was seen on New York was horrible, imagine doubling the amount of people sick and a bit more?
Not a good idea at all. All this talk about your immune system and herd immunity is from people who don't understand how herd immunity works.
Herd immunity can work, yes, but you need 70-80% of the population to get COVID. No one wants that.
