Over 15 years ago friends on Islay who has previously lived near Glasgow returned home from a shopping trip to Glasgow with a heavy cold.
They had to attend their GP on Islay who informed them that thanks to living on Islay for several years they had lost their immunity to colds and flu in crowded places such as shopping centres.
Yes, herd immunity seems to be a fact. How to achieve it seems to be based on vaccinations and I think much more effective treatments for those who actually catch covid. I wonder how much money is being invested in finding treatments?
