Oh, bloody hell, this is ridiculous. No, the #COVID19 herd immunity threshold is nowhere near that low. This is based on a study that's not peer-reviewed, and is very much an outlier.https://twitter.com/RonaldBailey/status/1311063668927410176 …

Odd that he deleted it, given that he was saying that anyone who claims the US is anywhere near herd immunity doesn't know what he's talking about. Oh, well, that's what I get for not taking a screenshot.

Only at most 1 in 7 Americans have been infected with Covid. That means 6 in 7 are likely still vulnerable. The US is nowhere close to herd immunity and anyone suggesting otherwise doesn't know enough about epidemiology and public health.
