      Not true. Twenty percent is still 70,000,000 in US alone and 1,800,000,000 world wide. Fine for a highly contagious virus like SARS-nCOV-2.https://twitter.com/G_A_B2020/status/1279783788726423554 …

      80% resistant seems odd because the virus wouldn't have any grounds to spread to begin with.

      Ok, come on. You can't possibly have innate immunity to COVID in 80% of people. Again I'm telling a Nobellist he's talking shite but he is. You can't have R_0 of 2.5 to 3 and susceptibility of only 20%. Just crazy stuff now. @GidMK @trvrb @angie_rasmussen

      20% is demonstrably false anyway, there are half a dozen places now with >20% infected

          It would obviously depend on the age and health distributions of the population. In a nursing home, you can have 80% infected because their immune systems are not as robust as in younger, healthier populations.

          I think you've misunderstood. Levitt claims that 80% of the population was naturally immune BEFORE getting the virus. He's saying 20% were susceptible to it, and in some places he reckons that once this 20% get infected it now dies away and is gone. I am politely disputing this.

          Precisely. I mean it's one thing to be a contrarian, it's another to just spout gibberish.
