And we’re ignoring that not enough people have taken even a single dose for herd immunity to kick in, even with the conservative estimate of about 70%?
The lowest R0 for delta puts it at no less than 5 (9max), resulting in a minimum of 80% full vaccination to achieve herd immunity. The best (major) countries have 70% tops. Thats why the pandemic is still here.....because of idiots who dont want to get vaccinated.
Alpha currently is rated at R0 = 3, which results in 66% for herd immunity. So, yes, initial estimations were correct, for alpha.
Why is it that people like me have to do the homework for idiots like Ronaldo????
