University of Alabama epidemiologist says it is ‘possible’ the US is nearing herd immunity as COVID infections drop 77% in six weeks – after Johns Hopkins professor claimed pandemic will be GONE by April

An epidemiologist has concluded that it is possible the U.S. is quickly approaching herd immunity to coronavirus, after a Johns Hopkins professor boldly predicted the pandemic would be quashed by April.

Suzanne Judd, PhD, said that it’s ‘it’s possible we could be approaching herd immunity’ in an interview with Yahoo Finance on Friday.

‘That is the big discussion in public health right now. It certainly is possible,’ said Judd, epidemiologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health.

It comes as the U.S. has recorded a staggering 77 percent drop in new confirmed cases of COVID-19 over the past six weeks.

Though vaccine rollout is well underway, the CDC estimates that just 17.9 million Americans have received the full two-dose course, or about 5 percent of the total population.

Judd pointed to research suggesting that there were up to 10 undetected asymptomatic cases for every positive test result, suggesting that a huge number of Americans have already been exposed to the virus and are potentially immune.

  1. I’m sorry I watched Anthony F Face daily back during the briefings. He has turned out to be a political hack chasing cameras, so he had to have been then. Could care less about what O’By-gone says from his lying mouth. Thank you President Donald J. Trump, for pushing through the loop holes on the vaccine and all you did and do for us. You are the best, forget the rest.

  2. Thats fake news…Have to wait until kim yung biden gets permision from china that alls clear for phase II. They dont have the next wave of Psych OP fear control ready yet!! I do believe disarmament is top priority right now
