Herd Mentality - part the fourth

It's been a constant theme in these endeavors: curbing Covid-19 either by massive infection or vaccination depends upon the resulting immunity lasting at least as long, first infection/vaccination to last, as it takes to get shots in arms. Otherwise, we're just chasing our collective tail. At the current ex-President AuH₂O 2020 rate of progress (a term I use with angst), it'll be more like years than months to get there. If there is any there, there.

Now comes more reporting of data on the durability of immunity.

People who have had COVID-19 are highly likely to have immunity to it for at least five months ... But experts cautioned that the findings mean people who contracted the disease in the first wave of the pandemic in the early months of 2020 may now be vulnerable to catching it again.

Sleepy Joe's 'promise' to get 100 million innoculated in the first 100 days may be a pipe dream, but looks more like a necessary step to a solution. The other import of the report remains: recovered or innoculated, you're highly likely to transmit if you encounter Covid. This whole ex-President AuH₂O 2020 bullshit about being immune and therefore not abiding by public health diktat only extends the time to control of Covid. May haps he and the clan will decimate Mar-a-Lago? Hope springs eternal.
