The values depend what else is going on. Heat and humidity reduce transmission of respiratory viruses and so does social distancing. Having significant fraction of the population with immunity certainly helps those other effects.
I suspect that the population who regularly rides subways in New York during crowded periods has already reached herd immunity. Most of those people have probably been exposed to the virus and have either recovered or died.
Hint: Those arenât the same thing as the disinfectants the President was talking about. If it was he wouldnât have to twist like a pretzel pretending it was a joke
