Re: Herd immunity

Maybe the term needs to be defined...

[Herd immunity is ] "the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that results if a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease, especially through vaccination." https://www.google.com/search?client...=herd+immunity

It has nothing to do with people avoiding the virus by staying away from each other or the failure to do so.
