Ehh, people use the phase "herd immunity" in different ways, which is why I've shifted to the phrase "PARTIAL herd immunity". 20% immunity will meaningfully reduce transmission. It won't keep R<1 on its own without other measures (e.g. distancing) however. https://t.co/S0jM6tl5ji — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Sorry, Nate, 20% immunity does not confer herd immunity benefits.

Seems worth asking why is NY's trajectory so much better than the rest of the country and the extent to which it breaks down into the following 3 buckets: 1) NY has been good about social distancing 2) NY is benefitting from partial herd immunity (~20% had COVID in NYC) 3) other — PolitiTweet.org

For various reasons, discussions about immunity trigger a lot of political conversations and misperceptions (e.g. people remembering misleading headlines about "re-infections", etc.) But it's hard to explain the data we're seeing in some places (NYC, Sweden) if it isn't a factor. — PolitiTweet.org
