RE: Preparing for Indefinite Lockdowns - Ecotrain's Question of the Week

On the last point, from what I've been reading, we won't get herd immunity - because this works more like a common cold than chickenpox. That is, you might be immune for a few weeks, but that's it - not like the chickenpox where once you've had it, you won't ever catch it again.
Now to be sure, I haven't looked up if there are any updates on that research, but just putting it out there.
The most worrying part of the vaccine thing that I've read is that if people skip the second dose (which a lot of people do on other vaccines that require more than one dose), it could lead to even more mutations or the virus becoming more resistant - so, a super bug, like we see due to overuse of antibiotics in our world.
So yeaaah, either way, I don't see this being over by summer like some people are hoping.
On the first, overarching point: one of the things I like about being in the city IS the opportunity for connections. Buy nothing groups and neighbors with backyard chickens and swapping seeds for the garden and little free libraries and free community distributions and all that? That's hard to do if you're all miles apart. So there are pros and cons to both circumstances!
