@CarlBialik That's because it can have meaningful effects at slowing things down even before you hit the threshold, but also there's momentum/overshoot, so some people will still get infected even after you hit the threshold. — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlBialik "Herd immunity" is another one of those terms that gets used in a few different ways. I tend *not* to like the usage where it's presumed to refer to some strict threshold. — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlBialik Nope, not on its own, given how fast COVID spreads. However, if you're combining with social distancing, it can have some effect and tip R further below 1. NYC's curve has been bending down faster than other places (some not bending down at all) and that may be part of why IMO. — PolitiTweet.org
