Depends if you can distinguish between dead because of Corona and dead with Corona, i.e. the Coronavirus was not the actual cause of death. In Europe each country has their own definition of the above, making it nearly impossible to compare. But judging from how things are going in Texas and Mississippi right now, there is a high chance of things being normal there on the May 15. Mind you it does require around 25-30% vaccinated before you can say that.

Texas is getting ready to spike again. There are counties where people are actively refusing to get vaccines because Trump told them not to. City folks are actually driving an extra hour or two to those areas to get vaccinated because they believe in science and that the vaccine can help while the locals scoff at them. I think texas will see a huge surge in the rural areas where they don't believe in science within the next month-ish.

  i live in Texas, i expect to see a rise just because new cases have fallen so far so fast and the broad re-opening of the economy. Today, there was the slightest little tick up in average new cases but I do not expect to see a surge like we did over the holidays. Further, i'm 100% onboard reopening the state. There's not a lot of difference between states that locked down hard and states that did not. If there isn't a very large and measurable advantage to crushing the livelihoods of the population then don't do it. https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2020/texas-coronavirus-cases-map/ https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2020/texas-coronaviru... I got dose 1 of Moderna yesterday (first day i was eligible).

  I’d be surprised if the anti vax sentiment has really flipped that much, as in: remember when then vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris said on tv that she doesn’t trust the vaccine? Or when the governor of California said he wouldn’t take it unless it was independently reviewed by California? Or when the governor of New York said he doesn’t trust the vaccine? ~40% of black people currently are wary of taking the vaccine because of statements like that, are those the antivaxxers you’re referring to?
