Be naive to expect anything now
It was last quoted as being ‘fewer than 8% with antibodies‘ by Whitey and Valance in their press conference.

We’re a long way off herd immunity.

I agree agree with you there Dave!

Like all covid stats, those figures will be hugely under reported due to the low level of tests but even 6-8% is a good start to herd immunity in such a short space of time so I'll stick with my original statement that herd immunity is starting to kick in. I never claimed we were there yet. It's not going to happen over night.

The thing is.
They haven't tested everyone for antibodies , they are guessing.
Until they test everyone, saying a percentage is meaningless because it's based on a guess .

It's obvious they're trying to find a balance between not wrecking the economy and saving lives.
Keep on playing dumb so you can slate the government though.

They have been random testing thousands of people randomly for antibodies.
Statistically, you don't need to test every single person to get an accurate approximation of the number. That's why they use statistics.
Also neither of you are accounting for T cell immunity, which may make a big difference to herd immunity as some studies are implying many people have natural T cell immunity.
In reference to what is 8% percent a good start to herd immunity, not accusing you of anything here, I would genuinely like to know by what measurements and what comparisons is 8% at this stage a reason to be positive?
I can see you haven't dealt with young kenshin before, he will scoff at any case study that does not include 100% of the earths population.
You can control (or should) mingling in restaurants and pubs.
You can't control mingling inside a household.

Like your plan of shutting everything down, decimating the economy for decades, resulting in lowered funding of the NHS for decades is somehow a great idea ....
*Slow hand clap
Took a test on the 27th, received a positive result yesterday and track and trace are still yet to contact me. World beating

But there isn't a balance there?
None of this is balanced. Infections under 40, deaths average 80.
So where's the balance to justify go anywhere you want except someone's house.
That's not a balance. It's half arsed attempt to control a virus.
The fact you can socialise with people outside of your house but inside another building in groups of 6 makes completely no sense when talking about tighter restrictions
You absolutely do have to test everyone!
That's how this works , you don't know who has got it / had it until you test them. Otherwise you don't know that information.
That is a new one, just guess how many have it rather than test people for it.

I'm sure there are some stats around somewhere about how quickly herd immunity can come about but that specific post was purely my own personal opinion based on no knowledge whatsoever of herd immunity. I've seen a couple of interviews on TV of scientists says they are confident of herd immunity growing and leading us to a world where we can return to some kind of normality. No idea who those scientists were though so I can't point you to a source.
