At the end of last year, you may recall hearing news reports that the number of COVID-19 cases in the United States had topped 20 million. While that number came as truly sobering news, it also lik…

I will say that — trusting estimates that perhaps roughly 50% of the population now has some degree of natural immunity — we should probably expect that pretty soon we will begin to see longer-term resistance to disproportionately bad outcomes from this disease. At least, I should hope this is true. Vaccination may be a short- to medium-term solution when this is all said and done, but natural immunity will hopefully persist and help prevent more severe outcomes (and, according to some recent research, maybe a significant percentage of symptomatic cases) in the longer run also.
My hope is that Delta is the final really nasty wave we see of this pathogen. Probably I’m wrong, and probably it’s wishful thinking, but given the growth in overall infection/recovery rates + vaccination it all has to add up to more community resistance to the disease going forward
