It has nothing to do with people avoiding the virus by staying away from each other or the failure to do so. |
No one said it did. I explained exactly how it is gained - by people getting infected and then infecting others. If they survive, they have antibodies which can make them immune. This virus has no vaccination yet ( a vaccination is made from the virus, usually dead). Since we do not have a herd immunity to this virus yet, people should stay away from groups, etc. Just my opinion and that of all the health officials in the country.
