Get the herd mentalitymug. Herd immunity is a mathematical protection that hasn't been proven to work in practise.
Sweden is trying to achieve herd immunity by reaching more people that has become infected or have gone through the infection than those who have yet not. (Through the disease or vaccination)

Herd immunity is the mathematical protection of not catching the virus.
Protects you in theory but not in practise.
Idea is that there's a bigger chance to come in contact with someone immune than somebody who isn't.

Get the Herd immunitymug. This is a term typically used by senior management when they want you to focus all efforts on the newest "shiny thing" that just popped up. The new thing is often less important than your usual work and will distract you to the point that they will later ask you why you aren't meeting deadlines. When someone tells you to ride herd, this should be a moment where you question your career choice.
