Abstract
In a highly-publicized recent exchange in the U.S. Senate, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Sen. Rand Paul expressed radically different views on the level of herd immunity needed to contain the coronavirus epidemic. Sen. Paul noted that transmission rates in New York City appeared low, despite the virus's high inherent infectiousness, proposing that this was evidence that the share of the population already infected was sufficient to have reached herd immunity. Dr. Fauci memorably responded, “If you believe 22% is herd immunity, I believe you're alone in that” [1].
