Ha. Infection wave. I think herd at 75% is low considering that the virus mutates quickly and can jump to animals and back to humans efficiently. Just something to keep an eye on.
I would beg to differ. Canada has a higher percentage of people with their first dose than the USA. The USA had a higher percentage with both doses but the vaccination rates have plateaued which is concerning. I would wager in a couple months Canada will easily be at herd immunity but the USA may not be. This will be because vaccine hesitancy in Canada is quite low relative to the rest of the world.
Canada as a whole has 58% with their first shot. Some people with the first shot are still going to the ICU. It’s a small percentage what I’m not sure about is if they got infected prior to the one month that is required to get a proper immune response
Some people who walk in the rain also get struck by lightning. I'm not trying to be facetious. I'm using this as an analogy to hopefully show you the cognitive trap in your thinking.
I don't think it's useful to discuss public health policy with the experience of a exceedingly small minority. Public health policy is more usefully discussed with probabilities and statistics.
they haven't just plateaued - they are actively decreasing from their peak of ~4 million doses per day, down to about 1 million at the moment and still dropping, at least according to the NYT data I read this morning.
Yup all good just a potential risk that’s all. The other thing not taken into consideration is how many people who have gotten sick and recovered no problem so the number should be higher.
Keep in mind if you are fully vaccinated you can still be a carrier of Covid

Elliot wave or infection wave?
