LjLryouma, he wrote in a comment "Remember, there are lots of people suffering long Covid for weeks, months, and maybe years. The disease is no picnic."02:23
ryoumareminiscent of collins (nih) saying "weeks".  try significant portins of a century.  there are still survivors of the royal free epidemic for example in the middle of the previous century.02:29

ryoumaand of course int he us the boom of 1980s epidemics02:30
ryoumaif herd immunity is a certani percentage (perhaps this is a wrong assumption) then 100 minus that percentage could in prciniple psread the disease among themselves?  if their patterns of interacxtion acre with one another?02:49
LjLryouma, 100-herd_immunity_percentage are still susceptible, but the definition of herd immunity is pretty much "enough people that the infectious agent has so much trouble finding anyone to infect, that it just dies out and rarely infects anyone, including those susceptible"02:57
LjLotherwise, herd immunity would be just... whatever02:58
ryoumait takes into account subpopulations who have social patterns within the larger group?02:59
LjLit's probably a rather simplistic concept02:59
