In most models, we currently assume herd immunity is 50%. We know it isn’t higher than that but we also have circumstantial evidence that it likely isn’t below 40%. A complicating factor is that we know the number of infections is much higher than the number of cases but we don’t know by how much and this is not something we can effectively measure retroactively, which makes it challenging to model precisely.
