According to the April 16, 2020 3 Phase Reopening Plan for the United States, each state should follow, "14 days of declining cases[/positivity rate] per phase and hospital capacity that exists in case you have a rebound" were the criteria for each phase; The 8 worst states for Delta variant have declining positivity rates starting about 3 weeks ago.

At some point the population has enough T-cells though that the infection fatality rate and infection hospitalization rate is that of influenza or colds, and even though it spreads people don't wind up in the hospital that much more than usual for cold and flu season. And we're still probably going to have vaccine stragglers for years winding up finally getting their Herman Cain Awards at some level so it'll never be zero.
