What percentage of the population has either had covid or has been vaccinated? Has to be approaching critical mass I would think.
Yes!
Nope.
33 million confirmed cases, that's about 9% of the population, 50% of the population has received at least one dose of vaccine. If there were no crossover from that 33 million and if the entire 33 million have antibodies, which they don't, then you're looking at 59% combined. I think it's safe to say that around 55% of the population has a comfortable amount of immunity, and that's probably being a bit generous given two percent of those 33 million are dead.
Didn’t you get a new job during all of this and go to a office? Like, I have a 21 month year old get tested twice during this too (close to the same age) like your 2 year old. 1. For a botched circumcision (that needed surgery) & 2. For sniffles at day care. You gained a job during all of this and continue to preach about the harm of the disease. I totally get it. Don’t disregard the financial set back it left many without adequate insurance (due to furlough) or uncaring for the future from others. I was blessed to land on my feet during this, but it 100% affected others economically. Sorry some of those are ho humming getting vaccinated, when they’ve already lost everything.
Wacky, I offered no opinion on the virus at all, like not a single one. I provided stats, and nothing else. You have to stop constantly looking for a fight.
Justwin and wetwillie, I very clearly used the term "confirmed cases" if we're just gonna guess numbers then we can take the conversation anywhere. Even if you take the number of 115 million or 33% of the population if all 115 million only got it once, no where close to that 115 million have immunity and those who do won't have it for life. There is no shortcut, immunization is the only way, and we aren't reaching herd immunity off the hope that people who contracted unconfirmed level of the disease a year ago still has immunity.
Not that that this message board is going to set the tone for the county but the thought that we can count those who had it to safely reach immunity is dangerous because we don't have the first clue as to how long people keep immunity or what the effect of variants are.
The message is just get the damn jab.
