Covid 19: Still Not Going Away?
Good Morning,
Sunday was a NINE Green Arrow Day; below are the particulars.
We have now administered over 338 million doses as of July 18, 2021, more than the population of the USA. Of which 161 million have completed their entire regimen. The vaccine distribution continues to expand (more outlets), and all restrictions of access, such as age, have been lifted. About 49% of our citizens have completed their respective dose regimens. We are trending to a 1% uptick per week of those fully vaccinated.
There are 25 million citizens that require a second shot to complete their regimen. Once theirs are complete, that would increase those vaccinated to 56%. The combination of the 161 million, plus the recorded (18 million net, less the duplicates) and unrecorded (74 million) recovers make our Herd Immunity Factor (HIF) 253 million or 76% of our population. Said a bit different, roughly 80 million citizens don’t have either vaccination or self-created immunity (those that had the virus), and 235,000 currently are virus carriers.
The trend for new cases has surged over the past two weeks. Notice in the graph below (green arrow) that cases rate dropped by more than 80%, which coincides with a jump in vaccinations. In the next several weeks (orange arrow), the new case and vaccination rates flattened. In the last couple of weeks (red arrow), we see the surge of new cases and a significant slowdown of newly vaccinated.
In the next few weeks, we will show how close we are or are not to getting “back to normal.”
