COVID19 and the nation developing herd immunity through infections

I am livid

On BBC Any Questions earlier today, Richard Tice spread fake news stating that a lockdown is not needed and that the nation can develop herd immunity by allowing low risk people to become infected.

He is either ignorant of the facts, or is deliberately lying.


The facts are simple.  COVID19 mutates.  We are not dealing with just one infection, but many subsects.  The latest mutation to hit the news has occurred in Denmark and these mutations mean that we cannot assume that we can acquire herd immunity by allowing the population to become infected as different strains exist.     

Anyway, stay safe and take care.
