In order to achieve herd immunity, at a minimum 70% to 90% of the population must be immune and that is dependent on how contagious the disease is.

I think I will stick with the experts like Dr. Fauci, my degree in biology and chemistry, my 35+ years of experience in the science community which spans Cancer research, Molecular Bio and Biochemistry, BR&D and Quality Control in the pharmaceutical industry.

Proof positive that social distancing works. If New York had the population of Wyoming, they would have similar statistics.

From the article:

New cases, hospitalizations and the percentage of positive tests have been on the rise for weeks, indicators that the coronavirus is spreading rapidly. Since late May, the average number of newly reported cases each day has more than doubled to about 3,500, up from 1,500. That is not just the result of more testing: The percentage of tests coming back positive has soared from 4.5% to about 9%. Hospitalizations are also on the rise.

(I never knew our lungs are closer to our back than our chest) They also know that drugs like remdesivire(spelling) also reduces the mortality rate.
We likely wont see mortality rates as high as we had in in the tri-state area because of what doctors now know about the virus. Also that tri-state area has a lot more population with folks living on top of each other and during the initial onslaught of the disease it was almost unmanageable.

Keep in mind there are 4 international airports in the area that had people bringing the virus to the area from other parts of the world. It was a perfect storm and very disastrous. But the point is that this virus is spreading like wildfire in the areas that opened up too soon. Anybody could have seen this coming, except the folks in charge who opened up too early. This didnt have to happen.
