Sunday was a NINE Green Arrow Day.

New Cases Plummet Again / Herd Immunity Here?

Good Morning,

Sunday was a NINE Green Arrow Day; below are the particulars.

In the USA, we have now administered almost 275 million doses as of May 16, 2021. Of which 123 million have completed their entire regime. The vaccine distribution continues to expand (more outlets), and the restrictions of access such as age have been lifted. About 37% of our citizens have completed their respective dose regimens.

The combination of the 123.3 million-plus the recorded (20.1 million net, less the duplicates) and unrecorded (73.9 million) recovers make our Herd Immunity Factor (HIF) 217.3 million or 66% of our population.

There are a few more encouraging pieces of information. First new cases dropped by 53% compared to the week ending April 18, 2021 (see graph below). We expect new cases to continue to fall. Lastly, there are only about 340,000 Open Net Cases. Fewer people are capable of spreading the virus, and an increasingly smaller population could catch it. We are close to the threshold at the level the CDC (70% +) suggests is “Herd Immunity.”
