In PA they started prisoners the first week of April. They were supposed to be using the 1 shot JnJ vaccine in all prisons for speed and efficiency in vaccinating. I’m not sure if they were done before the pause, probably not. I haven’t heard if they picked up with a different vaccine or are going to go back to JnJ now that it’s started up again.
Yes, it is factored in when reaching herd immunity. Right now about 10% of the population has tested positive for Covid. Who knows how many more had it and were never tested. Somewhere between 10 and 20% or more of the population has some natural immunity. The offset to that is some of the people naturally infected also got the vaccine so they would be double counted if we just take percent vaccinated plus percent of all people naturally infected. The final issue is 100% of those vaccinated aren’t immune so there are some people walking around that are fully vaccinated but still not immune. It’s hard to quantify the numbers but a decent short cut IMHO is to assume the vaccine/infected overlap plus the vaccinated people where the vaccine didn’t take is about equal to the number of people naturally infected but not tested. If you buy that assumption than you can essentially take the 10% who tested positive and add that to the percent of people vaccinated. So in other words if we get to 70% vaccinated the number “immune“ is probably more like 80% and that number will grow as more of the resistors get naturally infected.
US National 7 day daily average is down to 18 cases per 100,000. Hopefully the start of the downward trend all over. Relaxing of covid restrictions so far seems to be more than offset by increased vaccinations and cases are still trending down.
Were you being disrespectful to others indoors who were wearing a mask even though you still pose a risk of spreading the virus to others? If so, I don’t mind shaming you for that.
FL needs to get below 2,150 cases a day to be below 10 cases per 100,000 people. I think that’s the starting point to start seriously thinking about relaxing things at WDW. Not full removal of restrictions, but the start of more relaxing. It can’t be seriously considered yet at a 7 day average of almost 6,000 cases a day.
Doesn't the CDC say you can socialize indoors without a mask with whoever you want as long as the other people are vaccinated too or if you are with only one other family group people can even be unvaccinated as long as they are not in the high risk group?
Yes, in small group settings. If more than one participating household is unvaccinated, masks for everyone.
~1% a day is not bad, the dam will break soon
I haven’t seen that anywhere. I assume once people go in they will return for shot 2. I imagine if someone had a particularly bad reaction to shot 1 they might not go back.
I haven't been actively looking, but I did see this...
