Apparently you missed a few things in my posts.
You do not need to catch covid 19 if the herd immunity threshold is only 30% as postulated by Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt of Stanford.
Repeat: You do not have to catch covid 19 in order for herd immunity to take effect.
Not all immunity is held by people who have "caught" the virus.
Actual data from New York and other countries show that the virus is not exponential but follows a rising trajectory of cases and deaths which then fall after a certain percentage of inhabitants are infected.
I have repeated cautioned my fellow old fogies and other people at risk to follow safe practices and avoid all interactions possible during this surge. I practice what I preach.
I believe we will reach Levitt's 30% threshold before any vaccine is available.
