After some harrowing technical difficulties causing significant delays in the release of this week\\u2019s episode, we\\u2019re back! This week we\\u2019re talking about how one might go about creating herd immunity? As well as what it even is? How do we plan to achieve it in the concept of coronavirus? Join hosts Shanti and Danny as we discuss what science means when they say herd immunity and why it\\u2019s so important in this current atmosphere.
