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

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.

@llsethj @darth I'm not sure I'd use those terms .... but yeah, there is indeed some evidence that people are being more careful in places where more people have died. — PolitiTweet.org
