the world is still in the early stages od learning about Covid 19
herd immunity isn't the solution , who knows what the second,third ,forth infection will do to someone.


.......
And inspite of the resurgence, GLOBAL deaths are still out numbered 2:1 by people living in Birmingham:-X

With no vaccine or cure for Covid 19, herd immunity is all we have.  :)

Apparently Sweden says they have 40 to 45 % herd immunity.  Some of their scientists are saying that it's not true, but their death rate is 561 per million which is lower than the UK.
'dangle berries'. In a word.

They've nearly twice as many cases as us currently.

We've tested twice as many people as there are in Sweden.

We have four times more BAME people here in percentage terms than they do, bearing in mind that our population is NINE times larger, so that's actually something like 8 million vs 40,000 BAME citizens who are automatically more susceptible. (We have ten times more BAME citizens than the ENTIRE population of Sweden)

And inspite of the resurgence, GLOBAL deaths are still out numbered 2:1 by people living in Birmingham.  :-X

Oh, and apparently the death rate in the US is under 500 per million, but they won't tell you that in the Guardian  ;D

The other thing that they won't tell you in the Guardian (or the BBC for that matter), is that the UK is now carrying out more tests than most countries worldwide.   ::)

A quick scan of Worldometers suggests that only Denmark, Iceland, Luxembourg, UAE and Bahrain are currently testing more and Britain's test rate is double that of Germany!  :)
