Sweden is among the countries that have opted against a lockdown and instead gone for herd immunity. This strategy has arguably lead to one of the highest per capita death tolls in the world, but very little immunity.

But antibody tests are only just starting. And a new wave of infections could hit.
Catching the coronavirus can lead to immunity, but vaccination would be safer than natural immunization. Yet a vaccine remains illusive. And it’s neither clear whether those infected with the coronavirus really are immune, nor for how long.
