What is herd immunity?
When a majority of a community is immune to a disease it limits the spread from person to person. In turn it minimizes the chance of those who are high risk from contracting the disease. For example, if 4 out of 5 people are immune to the disease, there is only a 20% chance of you getting sick.
With no vaccine in the immediate future, how do we achieve herd immunity to control the spread if we are in an extremely restrictive lockdown?
