Covid-19: Where’s the herd immunity?
“Contrary to the myth that we are sliding into a comfortable evolutionary relationship with a common-cold-like, friendly virus, this is more like being trapped on a rollercoaster in a horror film.”
“There’s nothing cold-like or friendly about a large part of the workforce needing significant absences from work, feeling awful and sometimes getting reinfected over and over again, just weeks apart. And that’s before the risk of long Covid.”
Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London, in a must-read article in The Guardian today
UK planning for #coronavirus was completely skewed by the UK's obsession with Herd Immunity.
