[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 757095, member: 18958"] This is an interesting point Chick Pea, in terms of herd immunity. The figures I read are that between 45 and 80 percent of people will have to have immunity (gotten the virus or a vaccine) for the virus to die down. This creates a paradox. Because the fewer people who have become ill, the more people there are who potentially can and will become ill. I guess by these phases (where vulnerable people can't stop isolating until phase 3) there is the assumption that less-vulnerable people will gradually more and more be exposed to the illness, kind of like a slow leak in a tire while the most vulnerable take personal responsibility to confine themselves and limit interactions. I fear that this will go on for a long time. [/QUOTE]
