Gabriela Gomes is Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at University of Strathclyde Glasgow and corresponding author of the recent paper, “Herd immunity thresholds for SARS-CoV-2 estimated from unfolding epidemics,” one of the papers arguing that the herd immunity threshold is on the order of 10-20% in the European communities they studied rather than the 60-80% more commonly cited, and she’s here to talk about herd immunity and COVID-19.
