JOSHUA SHARFSTEIN

(JOHNS HOPKINS VICE DEAN FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE)


SHARFSTEIN: HEARD IMMUNITY IS RELATIVE


Host:

Dr. Sharfstein, (1)how close to herd immunity are we? (If I rewrite (1) like “How close are we to herd immunity?”, would that be unnatural or wrong?)

Sharfstein:

You know, it’s obviously a question on everyone’s mind and nobody knows for sure. And, you know, I think the fact that (2)the virus affects a lot of people without them knowing it and (3)a number of people that affects without them knowing it (4)can be a miridictable(?) numbers makes people wonder whether you know more people are infected than we are, we really appreciate (5)between to make it harder for the virus to transmit. And the important concept, though, is herd immunity in this context is not you know absolute. It’s relative. You mean it’s not like suddenly we have herd immunity and now the virus is just gonna go away. (…)
