Default Herd Immunity?
Herd immunity may or may not ever come. Herd immunity has never occurred for the flu. The virus keeps mutating, immunity fades. The vaccine last year was only around 45% effective. So don't bet your life on herd immunity.

Some good news is that a lower percentage of people are dying of COVID-19 as doctors learn more about how to treat patients who have it. And it will continue to get better.

In the meantime, do everything you can to avoid getting it or giving it to others (masks, distancing, hand washing, just like the professionals are saying).
