There seems to be disagreement with JHU’s assertions here:
“Today, our national HIT(Herd Immunity Threshold) is roughly 15%, which means we are almost done, no matter what any Governor does.”
“The Herd Immunity Threshold (“HIT”) for COVID-19 is between 10-20%
This fact gets less press than any other. Most people understand the basic concept of herd immunity and the math behind it. In the early days, some public health officials speculated that COVID-19’s HIT was 70%. Obviously, the difference between a HIT of 70% and a HIT of 10-20% is dramatic, and the lower the HIT, the quicker a virus will burn out as it loses the ability to infect more people, which is exactly what COVID-19 is doing everywhere, including the U.S, which is why the death curve above(attached) looks the way it looks.”

We trust them as far as we can throw them, which is not at all.
If this is the guy you're looking to you might want to reconsider.
"Obviously, the difference between a HIT of 70% and a HIT of 10-20% is dramatic, and the lower the HIT, the quicker a virus will burn out as it loses the ability to infect more people, which is exactly what COVID-19 is doing everywhere, including the U.S, which is why the death curve above looks the way it looks."
That's intentionally deceptive. HIT has nothing to do with death rate, only infections, which are increasing.
Was told it was going to burn itself out in April (https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3834525/posts). Was told the same thing in May (http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3849921/posts). Same thing in June (http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3851711/posts). Now it’s July and I’m still hearing it. Death totals across the US are flat for now. Hopefully they’ll begin declining again soon, but for now the 7-day moving average is flat.
