The relevant number unfortunately is the percentage of the total population which got two shots. One shot is unfortunately no longer good enough against the delta variant. And for transmission, the whole population has to be counted in. And then the numbers might be 60% or less, which isn't quite enought to be a robust blocker against the delta variant.
Without the variants, especially the delta one, the battle against SARS-Cov-2 might already be won, but the virus shifted the goalpost, so to say.
- timr 5y ago66.3% of NYC adults are fully vaccinated as of today. And 0.2% are getting new shots every day (and have been for a while). It's all on the same page I linked.
- _ph_ 5y agoWhich clearly says that just 55% of the population got two shots. That matches well with what I said in my previous post. 45% of the population did not get two shots yet and can spread the virus unblocked. As the quickly climbing incidence numbers show.
- timr 5y agoThat's all ages, including those who cannot get vaccinated at this time. Of adults, the number is as I stated.
- _ph_ 5y agoThat is equally right as irrelevant. For the transmission of the disease the total population counts. The virus doesn't distinguish between humans who can get vaccinated as by FDA decision and who not.
