Sunday was a NINE Green Arrow Day.

Almost Gone / Signs Point to Herd Immunity

Good Morning,

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

In the USA, we have now administered almost 276 million doses as of May 23rd, 2021. Of which 130 million have completed their entire regime. The vaccine distribution continues to expand (more outlets), and all restrictions of access, such as age, have been lifted. About 40% of our citizens have completed their respective dose regimens.

One important fact should be noted; in six months, the USA has administered 286 million doses. That is quite a feat since a year ago; nobody knew there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.

The combination of the 130.1 million-plus the recorded (20.4 million net, less the duplicates) and unrecorded (73.9 million) recovers make our Herd Immunity Factor (HIF) 224.4 million or 67% of our population. Said a bit different, only 108 million citizens don’t have either vaccination or self-created immunity (those with the virus), and only 224,000 currently are virus carriers.

We have suggested about a month; we were beginning to achieve Herd Immunity. The chart below shows a 64% drop in new cases since the week of April 18th. Pretty good progress for a month.
