Help me with the math here. A "normal" virus that infects every age group equally would require 60-70% herd/vaccination immunity to stop the spread. But what about a virus that is massively biased toward 20% of the population? If we vaccinate around 80% of that 20%, are we done?

That's way less certain than that the disease is less severe for them. Even if it were true, it could be easily offset by children's contact behavior in daycare and schools at full capacity.

Part A (less certainty) is correct. Part B (offset by school/daycare behavior) is shown to be false. Many schools *did* open, without measurably increasing spread among the direct (school) population or among their communities.

Keep one thing in mind: over 1/3 of adults in
#USA are obese w/many either having comorbidities or seriously working on getting them (CAD well under the way at 20yo as per autopsies of accident victims). So, who do we vaccinate? I think, everyone! - Show replies
