B-Flattening the curve is a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a large percentage of a population has become immune to an infection

Question 4:-This term herd immunity implies

A-Herd immunity means slowing the spread of the epidemic so that the peak number of people requiring care at a time is reduced, and the health care system does not exceed its capacity
