The Black Death ended. And yes, in those cases, herd immunity did it.
Did the Black Death really end because of herd immunity?
Herd immunity is easier when 1/3 of the herd died from the disease. But they also did figure out quarantines eventually. "Quarantine" comes from the 40 day waiting period imposed on ships as a result of the black plague.

With global HIV deaths in hundreds of thousands each year, but less evenly distributed and more stigmatized, will this vaccine be given emergency authorization as well, or is it likely to go through the full 10 year process?

If you have an iPad Apple has “Swift Playgrounds” — I think there are three “levels” — and they’re more or less a game that teaches you the basics of programming. Things like variables and for loops and objects and properties. It’s cute and simple and definitely geared towards kids but a surprisingly comprehensive introduction to coding.
I tried that with my 10 year old and it wasn’t very fun or instructive. It teaches them about loops and functions, but it’s a lot easier to just brute force the mazes and there’s no incentive not to.
I don't even know what I use. It probably changes in different repositories. I've never cared enough to check or set it one way or the other, and definitely don't care enough to have a 20 minute meeting with my team to decide.
