Just checking in on our herd immunity friends who blasted me with claims that the hardest hit areas acquired herd immunity during the first wave.

And here's everybody's herd immunity darling, Sweden

Are you saying we have herd immunity? It would be helpful if you would point to the stats that refutes EL's claim. Can you do that? Does 4% positivity rate illustrate herd immunity?Fake news...infection rates have actually decreased as testing has increased...the US had 50k new cases but tested 1.2 million on Friday..that's a 96% negative rate
I'm so very sorry that this is happening to you https://amp.news.com.au/world/coron...b7b291b297731c3da74?__twitter_impression=trueAre you saying we have herd immunity?

Yes, you are FAKE NEWS.
Here you go...some nice Sunday reading for you COVID-19 Testing: Understanding the “Percent Positive”Are you saying we have herd immunity? It would be helpful if you would point to the stats that refutes EL's claim. Can you do that? Does 4% positivity rate illustrate herd immunity?
Yes, you are FAKE NEWS.
And you still can't point to the evidence of herd immunity. Sorry I had to call you out, not.I'm so very sorry that this is happening to you https://amp.news.com.au/world/coron...b7b291b297731c3da74?__twitter_impression=true

Actually nobody cares because it's a useless indicator of herd immunity. Like the flipside less testing equal less positives. Your stats are useless.EU and Mick don't understand that more testing adds more cases.

8 million cases total...remember California was projected to have 25 million by May...we have never even had half the daily average of 165k per day of H1N1 outbreakSIAP
If Trump has, in fact, grossly mishandled the country’s response to the pandemic, why did the “worst case scenario” never happen?
I'll try to make this simple for you since you can't read..5% and under..shows outbreak is not growing and cases are decreasing over 5% more tests should be done..US is at 4%Actually nobody cares because it's a useless indicator of herd immunity.

It is being done on a localized level. It seems you are the one that has a problem when a localized population has above 5% and takes lockdown measures.I'll try to make this simple for you since you can't read..5% and under..shows outbreak is not growing and cases are decreasing over 5% more tests should be done..US is at 4% View attachment 313537
Yeah I'm glad to see it but also a little concerned I'm going to regret spending nearly 1.5k on Universal tix at Christmas
You don't get it...when NY first started testing the infection rate was like 20% now they are around 4% the difference? Far more testing...we have quadrupled our daily testing but positives have not even doubled...you really need to educate yourself better and in the words of Fulmer "work like heck to be a better poster"If a particular location has reached, or is close to reaching, herd immunity, the number of infections should be going down. For each person infected, that person should be infecting one or fewer people. Since infections are growing, that means you don't have herd immunity yet.

That's might point rates aren't going up...just the amount of testing...rates continue fallingMy point is for the herd immunity bros on here who were saying there would be no second wave in the hardest hit areas because they got herd immunity during the first wave. The most recent numbers show that both the absolute number of cases AND THE POSITIVITY RATES are going back up. That means there is no herd immunity in these places. At a minimum the positivity rates would be going down. But they're going up.
False. Sweden's positivity rate is increasingThat's might point rates aren't going up...just the amount of testing...rates continue falling
