Herd immunity is what a vaccine gives us. If no vaccine, and I fear we may not get one anytime soon , hen we will have to learn to live with Covid and manage risks as best we can. Lockdown did work, in the sense that it saved us from the spectre, as in New York, Spain and Italy, of bodies left to die in hospital corridors. Herd immunity is almost inevitable in this case, not a policy but a fact of life. I am on the highly vulnerable list. If I get it will probably kill me. However I recognize the need for the economy to open up. Remember business basically pays for all our public services. I would feel comfortable now, having looked at the evidence, that being outside and socially distanced would pose little risk to me or anyone else.
