About 60 million today have had at least one of the vac shots.
About 30 million have tested positive.
We're vaccinating about 2 million daily.
About 60K daily test positive.
Math tells me that by April 1 we've done enough. If you're at risk on that date, where a mask until fall.
whats does one shot have to with anything?

You get almost complete immunity (though not as long lasting) after one shot.
We’ve already done enough.
It’s mind blowing to me that we have based all of these moronic restrictions on “expert” opinions. Fauci doesn’t know sh*t. This country is an embarrassment.
Us Brits have to wait until June 21st unfortunately, well over 3 months away...
Every high-risk person has had access to the vaccine for several months. The only people who haven’t gotten it are low risk. So we should all be doing like Texas right now and getting back to normal.
BUT I promise that the next thing is gonna be “children can’t get vaccinated (even though COVID is less dangerous than the flu to kids), please think of the children, wear a mask forever, etc etc etc)

By April 1st about 30 million people will have tested positive for COVID. Most estimates put the true number who have had it at 2-3X. If we use 2.5X then that puts roughly 75 million with some level of natural immunity (22.7%).
At the current vaccination rate, approximately 108 million will be either fully or partially vaccinated by April 1.
If the 22.7% of those who already had it are evenly represented in the group that has received the vaccine that puts the number of people who have some level of immunity at over 158 million. Roughly 48% of the US population.
* ~20% of the US population is too young to be eligible for the vaccine.
In addition, a much higher percentage of those at the highest risk for dying or severe illness will have immunity due to the vaccine being rolled out to them first.
The 70-80% herd immunity level does not have to be reached in order for there to be a significant impact on the spread and severeity of COVID.
The impact of the variants are the variables that can impact these numbers the most.
Australia proved you can have normal with just a relatively short, but strict lockdown. Unfortunately we're too thick headed to bother so we're stuck with this purgatory that just extends the overall length of our suffering.
You have almost complete immunity already, moron. It's called your body's immune system and 99.91+% of people already have an immune system that defeats COVID. Also, do your homework - the Moderna and Pfizer shots are not legally "vaccines". The patents were not filed as vaccines, they were files as "gene therapy" - "vaccine" is not mentioned anywhere in the patents. They are untested in the long term and do not supply immunity to anything. What they do is create spike proteins that help your immune system more easily defeat COVID and reduce symptoms and impact of COVID (for those who even experience COVID symptoms, which is a very tiny percent of the population). It doesn't prevent you from having it or unknowingly spreading it to others.
I am concerned for people taking this gene therapy - they are part of the biggest experimentation ever conducted on the human race, and nobody, at this point, really knows what the long-term effects are going to be of messing with the human immune system. And the vast majority getting poked have no idea about what they are getting poked with. But hey, go ahead and get jabbed if you want. I won't try to stop you.

This is not true in all states. Its getting there though. I agree with you, once we get the high risk vaccinated, its time to move on. I don't care about COVID beyond how it effects the high risk.
June 21 will be back to normal and the powers that be will act like none of this ever happened.
The Harambes and other rona lovers will find other things to satisfy their addiction to control and toolbaggery.
+1000 Hope you are correct.

Nope. We said that to the leftists when they complained about america. We will use the same strategy. Stay. We will make it better in our own image.
America. The place everyone hates but still wants to live and won't leave if they already do.

Wrong, I think restrictions will be relaxed in much of the USA before then.
You have done nothing but complain and avoid even the most simplistic arguments from reason on this board for the entire pandemic.
Thankfully, most of America was cautious, worked hard, and we innovated our way out of this. You have the luxury of riding real Americans' coattails -- you're welcome.

Pre would be disappointed in this BS.

This is basically my reasoning. Once the average COVID case is in the same ballpark of risk as other respiratory diseases we can move on. Need to account for it's significantly higher transmissibility than influenza but it's not like we need 80% population immunity.
I think desires for "zero COVID" to slow the evolution of new strains are impractical and unimplementable and recent data suggests that the mRNA vaccines are more then effective enough against the variants we have seen so far.

Hawaii has it pretty well figured out...but not sure if I'll ever consider that part of the US rightfully.
This isn't some big political ploy, or scam, or whatever. "They" are just trying to keep everyone cautious, because we've already proven we have the ability to blow it by going overboard.
With 150-175 million covered one way or another in a few weeks, though, there's zero reason to keep this going.
Again, the vulnerable should wear masks. The end.
