What is a novel virus and how does it differ from a regular virus? A quick web search of this question finds that when animal coronaviruses evolve and are able to infect humans, these viruses are considered to be novel.
Never before have we reached herd immunity via natural infection with a novel virus, and SARS-CoV-2 is unfortunately no different. Vaccination is the only ethical path to herd immunity. How many people will need to be vaccinated — and how often — will depend on many factors, including how effective the vaccine is and how long its protection lasts.
There was no such thing as herd immunity in the Spanish flu. They think there might have been partial herd immunity — (this was only speculation), but look at how many people had to die just to get possibly get partial immunity! You can read more about this from these scientific peer reviewed published papers.
In recent months, there have been reports of people being reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 after an initial infection, but how frequently these reinfections happen and whether they result in less serious illnesses remain open questions. If the people who are infected become susceptible again in a year, then basically you’ll never reach herd immunity through natural transmission.
I leave you with a good paper and a Nature News Feature to help you understand the myths associated with "herd immunity" for novel viruses.
Masks don't work, the law was changed in the UK that you wear masks in shops etc.. and infections increased so badly, yet another lockdown. If masks and 2 metres distance works, you shouldn't need to lockdown.
Better to be exposed to this virus? Let me guess! You got your medical, immunology & epidemiology degrees from Trump University?
No, such people don't dwell in the "science according to MSM".
Do yourself a favorite and educate yourself:
