Herd immunity is coming, and coming soon provided

In reply to: CDC: Real life infection rate among fully vax'd is 0.008% posted by mocopdx

We continue to vaccinate at levels seen to date. Israel is effectively open with no restrictions (because no one is following them) and cases continue to decrease. They are at 60% vaccinated, approximately 1 month ahead of the US. If we follow them, sometime in the next 2 weeks cases should start to drop (we have essentially plateaued nationwide already.)

Biden picked the 4th of July for a reason, it’s a reasonable date given our vaccination schedule to assume 75% of the US is vaccinated. Lowering the minimum age to 12 should hopefully overcome any vaccination hesitancy in young adults, we are so close it’s painful.
