COVID-19 zugzwang: potential public health moves towards population (herd) immunity	2020-07-15		.txt	text/plain	4250	254	54	Outlining potential public health actions, including hygiene measures, social distancing and face masks, and realistic future advances, this paper focuses on the consequences of taking no public health action; the role of natural changes such as weather; the adverse public health consequences of lockdowns; testing for surveillance and research purposes; testing to identify cases and contacts, including the role of antibody tests; the public health value of treatments; mobilising people who have recovered; population (a synonym for herd) immunity through vaccination and through natural infection; involving the entire population; and the need for public debate. People in these groups could minimise their risk of exposure to COVID-19, await effective vaccination and benefit indirectly as population immunity through natural infection increases (Column 2, table 1). The pandemic needs to be prevented from returning year-on-year, potentially more severely, especially in young people and children, and mandating repeated lockdowns.(3) We urgently need to consider all reasonable public health actions and plans (table 1) .	./cache/cord-257969-2tax8ajw.txt	./txt/cord-257969-2tax8ajw.txt
