That is all true, herd immunity to a changing target is not likely. I think we also need to work globally and share more both is resource and information. If we can shut down infection closer to source before it spreads that becomes much easier to manage and is likely to be cheaper in the long run. That would mean maybe producing equipment that is portable so if infection starts in 3rd world it can be used there.
