Michael Osterholm Virtual Keynote: How COVID-19 Has Changed the World & What the Future Holds

Hailed by CNN as “the infectious disease expert who has been warning us for a decade and a half that the world will face a pandemic,” Dr. Michael Osterholm quickly became the go-to expert on the public health impact of COVID-19. A sharp critic of the complacency that led to the current global pandemic, he points to current shortfalls in our system, individual and public health strategies and an urgent need to mobilize our healthcare system.

Would like your thoughts on some studies about community immunity may be 40% and not the often quoted 70-80%? And if there IS lasting immunity and IF the virus has run through a community and tagged the susceptible population-wouldnt they be able to avoid a second wave - or at least not have much of one? IOW-like new york currently, and maybe texas and arizona -had to learn the hard way but wouldn't the community threshold be reached quicker?

Maybe real problems lie in the fact of massive obesity in the US ?
