'The only way we're going to get to herd immunity, unless you're in a very closed community like a prison, is for everybody to get vaccinated,' Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist and biostatistician, said.
Hanage said the study also confirms what he has long thought: that the outbreak in the spring was enormously underestimated,"ridiculously so," and started earlier and infected more young people than have been diagnosed., is in line with previous, smaller studies, and also showed areas with high numbers of Black and non-white Latino residents had higher infection rates than mostly white communities.
To understand an epidemic and help slow it, epidemiologists need lots of information at as local a level as possible, he said. But for most of the United States,"we have very little knowledge of what the virus is doing in that community." Dialysis patients tend to be older than the general population, and more diverse, as Blacks and Latinos are more likely to suffer from kidney disease than whites.
