Herd Unimmunity

I’ve heard or read about the term “herd immunity” with regard to vaccinations. The concept is that once enough people (a large enough percentage) are vaccinated against a certain disease, then that disease can’t spread freely because there aren’t enough hosts. It kind of dies out naturally because there is no place hospitable. Any new member of the community is then safe from the disease just because no one else will have the disease.
I’m trying figure out the opposite effect. What if everyone is infected with something and any new members of the community are not safe? Plague? Epidemic? That’s how I feel about social media.
I’m not on Facechat, but enough people who know me are on Facechat, so anyone can still learn about me through Facechat. Same thing for Instabook and Snapgram.
How can I avoid appearing on social media when everyone around me is infected? It’s nearly impossible unless I avoid people.
They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.

I completely agree. And when you tell people you’ve moved on from whatever platform they’re using, they look at you like you have a third arm growing out of your forehead. We all agree social media has its perils, but few understand they can do something about it…which pulls the rest of us back down.
I think we’ve successfully become grumpy old men.
