Well said. I'm pleased that someone would counter the usual "Russia did it" narrative, although I note your inevitable downvotes. I read HN for the informed tech commentary, and I had always assumed that people who are smart

I guess it's probably the latter: RF wants to kill US fracking industry. Maybe even payback for US trying to derail Nord Stream 2, or sanctions, or just all the anti-Russia bullshit in general.

Absolutely correct. If re-infection with covids19 is possible, then herd immunity won't occur.

> They just say you won't get herd immunity until about 60% are infected But even this is wrong, or at least, unsure. Herd immunity relies on low (or zero) re-infection. It works for diseases like measles, where the risk of re-infe

I have no idea why you were downvoted. The whole concept of down/up votes is broken - I am a grown-up and quite capable of critical thinking and can form my own opinion of other people's view. Furthermore, in this current era of g
