       --- Quote ---
       >  Assuming that less than 10% of the population has been
       infected so far, with an infection-induced immunity lasting 2 to
       3 years (duration unknown), infection-induced herd immunity is
       not realistic at this point to control the pandemic. SARS-CoV-2
       vaccines will help to reach the herd immunity threshold, but the
       effectiveness of the vaccine(s) and the vaccine coverage are to
       be seen.
