We might be closer to herd immunity on COVID-19 than we think, a new model has found.
In herd immunity, enough people become infected with (and cured from) a virus, building antibodies that mean, at least for a while, they cannot catch the virus again. When enough people are included in that herd, the virus has few places to go and often dies off, or at least is greatly reduced.
Now, a new study from Nottingham and Stockholm Universities suggests that such immunity might be closer than many in the mainstream media say.
“According to their new mathematical model, far less people need to be infected with COVID-19 in order to reach herd immunity levels,” StudyFinds.com reported.
“That model, which was specially designed just for this study, categorizes people into different groups based on age and social activity levels. Once those factors are incorporated into herd immunity projections, the percentage of a population that would have to become immune drops from 60% to 43%,” they said.
“By taking this new mathematical approach to estimating the level for herd immunity to be achieved we found it could potentially be reduced to 43% and that this reduction is mainly due to activity level rather than age structure,” professor Frank Bell in a press release. “The more socially active individuals are then the more likely they are to get infected than less socially active ones, and they are also more likely to infect people if they become infected. Consequently, the herd immunity level is lower when immunity is caused by disease spreading than when immunity comes from vaccination.
After months of panic porn and fraudulent projections and statistics about the China coronavirus and horrible unconstitutional mandates from corrupt politicians, it’s long past time to look at the data and manage according to the facts.
This is what successful business people and leaders do in the real world.
Since the world was first introduced to the China coronavirus the situation became political. However, some people could see right through it.
We first reported on March 17, 2020, on the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and his irresponsible and criminal fear mongering. Tedros claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was 3.4% — many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu which is estimated to be around 0.1%.
This egregiously false premise led to the greatest global panic in world history. We proved that this premise was incorrect then. Last week the CDC reported that at least 20 million Americans have contacted the coronavirus making the estimated mortality of the coronavirus near that of the common flu.
Despite data to the contrary, Dr’s Fauci and Birx continued to push shutting down the economy, sending kids home from school, burdening the family with extra work related to the children’s schoolwork, and shutting down companies and industries across the great nation.
These doctors told us that masks didn’t work and then that they did. Finally, a doctor had the guts to tell us that masks pose serious risks to healthy people and give them headaches. The long term implications are not yet known. Time and again the medical profession led Americans astray:
Not only are deaths down but the ratio of deaths to new cases is way down:
