From what I am reading, the goal is a penetration "approaching" herd immunity. From that point, the virus will eventually wane, the question being what the graph looks like. Also, as I have written before, once we have a good level of immunity, we start not to care either epidemiologically or personally about the idiots.
A couple of data points. First, an article in the Times the other day revealed that blacks are getting vaccinated with less resistance than had been feared in advance. The latino population is the larger challenge. Second, it's a funny thing about those white republican males in red states. It seems you have to watch what they do and not what they say. Although of course there are the true crazies but I don't think the Venn Diagram puts them in the circle with theatre-goer. And yes those vaccinated white men can still lie in the face of the data, just like their fearless leader, even though they will not lie in the face of danger. :-) |
