      Thoughts on this @zeynep? If total population seroconversion will end the pandemic because the danger is the novelty, then shouldn’t a seroprevalence of >98% for everyone over 16 and lots of “hybrid immunity” from rampant delta transmission have ended the pandemic in the UK?https://twitter.com/Gab_H_R/status/1468645767262916608 …

      Math exercise: what percent of the UK population do you think has been infected with Delta, plus got vaccinated, and thus has "hybrid immunity"?

      They’ve nearly all seroconverted. Nearly everyone’s immune system has met either the virus or the vaccine. So hospitals should be fine now if it was that simple.

      Replying to @lisa_iannattone @zeynep

      Are you suggesting that the goalpost is now that everyone has to be vaccinated *and* subsequently infected to end the pandemic? Delta immunity doesn’t translate well to omicron immunity as evidenced by Pfizer’s data.

      You keep shifting what you are asking. Still waiting for the math on your "hybrid immunity" among the population calculation?

          Replying to @zeynep

          No, my question is simple and has nothing to do with hybrid immunity. You’ve maintained that once everyone meets the virus either through infection or vaccination, that the pandemic will be behind us since the danger is the novelty. So why does the UK need new restrictions?

          Isn’t novelty necessarily a component of the challenge—and an ongoing one—as variants emerge (with different immune evasion qualities, for example)?

          Accepted IFR is ~0.68% UK observed deaths 146K Expected deaths at IFR 456,280 AT LEAST 32% of the population has been infected As Dr. I was saying, should they burn through another 300K lives to find out? If out of control at 1/3 what's your magic #?

          No YOU are the one being shifty. You have shifted to "hybrid immunity" when just yesterday you were only talking about seronegatives. And YOU still haven't answered Dr. Iannattone's question, but rather tried to distract with your own.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468262365200359424?s=20 …

          The force clearly driving hospitalization and deaths everywhere is remaining seronegatives. Sadly, sometimes the number isn't easily available and people can talk themselves into early herd immunity projections or severe re-infection stories. The epi is clear. Omicron, we'll see.
