12. Not to mention many of the severe cases from SARS (a close cousin to COVID-19) dies within 5-10 year

Due to the damage to their organs like lungs. Many people in Hong Kong that survived SARS ended up dying within 5-10 years. If 5% of the cases are severe, that means 10 million people (to get to herd immunity) would have shorten their lives due to COVID-19 even if they don't outright die from it right now.

I hate that the media hasn't spoken about this long term impact.

Well, they truly believe in herd immunity. Claustrum Jun 2020 #3

If there is herd immunity at about 70% and a mortality rate about .6% marie999 Jun 2020 #4

I don't believe in herd immunity personally because of the death cost Claustrum Jun 2020 #7

Unfortunately, it has not been established that having the disease creates immunity Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #13

That's right. There's no proof durable "herd immunity" is even a thing for this virus. nt Cognitive_Resonance Jun 2020 #15

Or if does create immunity, how long does the immunity last? LisaL Jun 2020 #23

Which is why it is so important to have more information Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #28
