As far as I know, sis people on my street have had the virus and, in each case, it's been two people in one house, so three houses out of eighty and six people out of two hundred and forty which, more or less, ties in with the figures given by Rjk earlier about 3 per cent having had the virus. So, the figures for my street appear pretty typical, therefore, to suggest that RCT is getting to a position where something like herd immunity would kick in is clearly not true.

I heard a virology expert on the radio a few weeks ago saying that the whole concept of "herd immunity" without a vaccine is a fallacy.
There isn't an example of a virus like this one naturally reaching a saturation point in the population anywhere.
