For example, the R0 of #COVID19 is 2.5-3
However, the R of the disease was brought down in some places to just 0.3, meaning each 3 infected people passed on the disease to only 1 more person

I would love to hear any of the people proposing it as a strategy to outline their proposal of how they will achieve herd immunity (Rhetorical question because I know anyone suggesting it actually doesn't know what they are talking about).

And still doesn't account for all the severe illness that will collapse our hospitals, and in turn cause more death due to a normal but now uncared for level of disease burden, if
#COVID19 not slowed.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Isn’t 0.6% of the UK population around 400,000 people? (Assuming overall pop. around 66-67 million? Still very serious numbers, but not in the millions. Or did you mean millions would get infected?

Yes actually that's correct

Devils advocate: given the exponential growth of the population and the impact this is having on the planets finite resources, is 0.6% of the world no longer being alive a negative thing when the deaths are limited to those classed as vulnerable with underlying health conditions?

Also, the 60% would need to be very evenly distributed in the population. Otherwise some people end up 100% surrounded by ‘immune’ people and others 0%. An even spread is achieved with vaccination; it is unlikely for COVID19 which spreads in clusters, so you’d need ~90%
