I think there's also likely SOME impact to "herd immunity" in isolated groups as well. For example, it's hard to imagine that there are many hospital workers in NYC right now who haven't already been exposed to it. Again, that doesn't necessarily help the nation as a whole unless we just let it run wild, but it might be an indicator that there's some limit to growth.

The thing with the "we need 60% for immunity" thing is that it assumes every is susceptible or will get it. There's a few studies creeping out that it may not be nearly that high for that to be the case.
NY might be an example of that?
