How could we consider a strategy based on herd immunity if we're not sure it works for COVID19 ?

We can’t be certain on this immunity then it’s too early to say it exists ?

Yup that is where we are at. Remember the Govt.'s strategy was based on assumption that we could detect the pathogen with the antibody test. It doesn't work. Policy was based on conjecture not science. We are relying on the Germans now.https://www.ft.com/content/fe211ec7-0ed4-4d36-9d83-14b639efb3ad …

We have had viruses reactivate before, I’m thinking of the Ebola and Pauline Cafferkey. Is that correct?

Research is clearly needed on the separate strains of the virus and how the immune system deals with it's retroviral activity. The science is so complicated we are talking years not months, unless widespread international collaboration is undertaken.

This seems like the ugly truth.. years not months and not certain how absolute the safety would be in years either. Other choice of people saying their goodbyes, putting affairs in order, resuming life accepting greater ephermality knowing 98% will survive but millions won't

More likely to be primarily relapse, given the short timescale and the large numbers in a place that got transmission kind of under control.

false positive first test maybe?
