> Is the curve not flat?
Yes, thanks to all the regulations.

When returning to normal life, you want to curve to stay flat. So when a majority of people are vaccinated.
- scrollaway 5y agoA majority of people ARE vaccinated in the US. And you're vaccinating over 1% more per day. Don't undersell yourselves.
- codingdave 5y ago36.3% are fully vaccinated. It is great progress. But it is not a majority.
- greedo 5y agoCurrently 46.6% of the population. Over 2m/day on average being vaccinated.
- totalZero 5y agoNB: codingdave is referring to fully vaccinated individuals, while greedo is referring to individuals with at least one shot. Both are correct. https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-tracker https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-trac...
- jen20 5y ago@scrollaway is most definitely _not_ correct however, since no number below 50% is “a majority” of the population by definition, and regardless that is not a sufficient number to deliver value in the form of herd immunity via vaccine.
- cromka 5y ago> Yes, thanks to all the regulations. No. That was months ago. What about those with vaccination or reconvalescence immunity? Those don't affect the curve?
