Re: Who knows???? I have heard "experts" (A LOT of those on TV lately) say otherwise.

Like the media, I have seen a lot of doom n gloom experts and others more hopeful. I bet everyone wants to be right for that book deal down the road.

I don't watch tv news Gator.

And I don't care about scientists presumed motives. I just care about the science.

That means I follow the arguments and the better argument gets the prize ribbon.

The better argument includes this. We don't know if you can get covid-19 again after already having had it, and there's evidence you can. Also the entire concept of "herd immunity" does not mean and never did mean that you let a disease run its course and next time around fewer get it. (This is why the Brits completely abandoned the "herd immunity" approach.) You need vaccines to kick in herd immunity.

Given those facts, no, there is no such thing as "herd immunity" already spreading in the population. That's just the better argument.
