Florida’s herd immunity strategy is in many ways more robust than Sweden’s.

Watching Florida crush Covid with population immunity is phenomenally powerful and interesting.

It’s a shame our “once credible” media and experts are ignoring it.
Nobody who claims Florida’s Covid hospitalizations will ever be higher than its current level should be involved in public health policy.

This art dealer is tired of correcting “experts.”
Florida’s Covid problem will be more or less permanently over well before the end of 2020 and they’ll be living without substantial restrictions,

NY’s Covid problem won’t be over until after mass vaccinations, if they even work, and we’re living with substantial restrictions.
The apocalyptic experts have no answer for Florida. Nothing.

There’s simply no plausible explanation except that population immunity is crushing Covid in Florida.
Hi @apoorva_nyc it would be great if the NYT published a science piece on this.

Certainly it’s one of the most important American Covid stories.

We’re witnessing the 3rd largest state in the country increase socialization, while Covid hospitalizations decrease.
People are computing how many would die for the US to achieve natural herd immunity (in the loose sense)

No need for math and guesswork

FL gives us the best guesstimate

FL will achieve herd immunity with ~17k dead in a population of 20 million

That’s ~280k in the US
