As you might expect, none of the experts seem to be able to come to a consensus on herd immunity requirements,Any estimates available of what proportion of the population would be infected before herd immunity kicked in, assuming a total end to restrictions??
with estimates ranging from 20% to 66%, but there is growing evidence that early virus 'hotpots' such as London
and New York are almost certainly now experiencing signs of herd immunity in the community(!), which if true is
very encouraging as both those cities have infection rates at the lower end of the herd immunity scale...
