I just don't see how the herd immunity math adds up... on a micro level or
on a macro one.
Take Roanoke County for example... the population is right around 100,000. Herd immunity needs about 70% immune for it to be effective. That's 70,000 people in Roanoke County that have to actively contract the virus (since there's no vaccine to provide immunity). Even if only 10% of those 70,000 require hospitalization... that's 7,000 people. We don't have 7,000 hospital beds in Virginia let alone in one county. How does that not overwhelm the system?
