From the link:
- We just went from herd immunity reached at ~60% of the population (through vaccines or recoveries) to reaching it at ~75-80%.
That means some of the “advantage” gained by countries with a heavy toll of infections (such as Spain, the UK, US or Sweden) doesn’t count as much.
- It also means a delay in herd immunity from vaccines. If a country with 10% of the pop recovered expected to vaccinate 5% of the population per month, immunity would be reached in ~ September. Now it would take until ~Dec 2021-Jan 2022.

Hmm… maybe we shouldn’t have let a virus run amok through a large portion of the population.

yes, that part is way scarier to me than death since I’m not in a high risk group.
