A good metaphor for "herd immunity"? Google "river crossing, wildebeest migration, crocodile".

Watch a few of the videos you'll find.

MOST of the wildebeests get across the river safely.

Some are injured.

Some are torn apart and eaten alive.

"Herd immunity" is a part of the "safety in numbers" philosophy.

If you or a loved one tests positive for the Corona virus and dies or survives with life-changing impairments, you must understand that MOST people are just fine.

After all, crocodiles gotta eat, too.
