Why do they use the term 'Herd Immunity'? 😔😶

[c=#BF0080] We ARE humans, NOT animals 😶😑. Its sort of derogatory personally. They should refer to it as 'Group Immunity'. Sounds better to me anyway... Just a random rant! Normal sweetness and positivity resuming now 😊💕 [/c]

At the beginning of this covid mess there was a theory that suggested if everyone were exposed to it that would stimulate an immunity response from everybody at the same time.

Kinda like the idea that if your child has Measles/Mumps/Chicken Pox you hold a 'party' and invite their friends in the hope everybody gets it at the same time and they all go through it together.

Or at least that was the theory.

Unfortunately there are differing effects for every 'sufferer'. They don't all get 'Mild Flu-like symptoms' as was suggested by Trump !
Some of them get it far worse and it can have life-threatening results.
