Chilie has a better vaccine rollout than the UK and is in a deadly second wave

Herd immunity is not a "thing" for this virus. At least at this stage. It should have happened in Manaus in Brazil didn't.

We still need to take care of each other by taking Covid precautions seriously until a much wider global vaccine rollout  |

Delivering around 225,000 doses a day — mostly of the Chinese Sinovac vaccine — Chile has administered nearly 9 million doses so far, equivalent to 47 doses per 100 people, according to the University of Oxford in England. Only Israel and the United Arab Emirates have administered more. By contrast, the second-highest performer in Latin America is Brazil, at 7 doses per 100 people.
UK has 55% and it’s first dose everyone surely knows by now that one dose isn’t enough so half the population has half the dose - no one would think it’s time to stop restrictions ... would they? |

Push pull between Tory factions I think. Libertarian versus responsible conservatism. |

We haven't resorted to 1 solution only yet, hence we still have restrictions on activities, getting together, shop types open, mask usage indoors etc. And the exact threshold for herd immunity to be reached has variables affecting it, so we still have uncertainty about it.
The objective is reduction and sustained suppression, via this range of tactics and vaccination. We can see how Israel has fared, after record vaccination levels, whilst their economy is more broadly open.
The variants circulating in any country will affect results, subject to vaccine efficacy against them, including any reduction levels in infectivity to others.
The greater the volumes of data that we have upon how strategy effectiveness are, the easier it becomes to refine them, based on that global and local data. New emerging variants can be monitored and responded to accordingly. Personal immunity will largely hold good and, with reduced levels of infection around, the virus should continue at low levels in circulation. It's better to look at all data sources, as extraneous data can be better seen in that context. |
