There's less of a chance of that than dying from coronavirus.

Kz:  only .01% of the population died from Covid-19

Also Kz:  George Floyd died from Covid-19

Dave Moss: I just make ish up at random. 

:lol: Seriously, where did you come up with the idea that I think Floyd died of Covid? :roll:

I thought that was your defense.  I’m glad you agree that Chauvin killed him though.

lmao, my obvious hyperbole just got "brutally destroyed" whatever shall I do!? My point was that acting like the "Darwin Award" is going to thin the herd of non-vaccine takers was kind of ridiculous considering the vast majority of people who get it will survive - somewhere around 99.8% according to the CDC. So, yeah, my 99.99% figure was just so ridiculous! :lol: 

The .2 are no doubt Trump supporters

Does he think TEW is a libertarian ?

Latest numbers I found were 93 million total doses administered, 62 million have received one dose and 32 million are fully vaccinated (10% of U.S. population). Amazing!

So 28% have already had at least one shot?  I wonder what the total % is that had a shot and\or caught COVID to get an idea how close we are to herd immunity.

Fauci is saying we could reach herd immunity by late summer/early fall. We're up to 2.1 million vaccinations a day and rising!

62M have had at least one dose. Just shy of 20% of the population. 

As for overlap with those that had natural immunity, it'll be very difficult to estimate, but it's probably considerable. In other words, if we have 25% that have already caught covid, a majority of them (~15%) are probably gonna get vaccinated, so what we want need to know is how many that won't get vaccinated but already have or will get natural immunity. Tough to guess at but I still think we're still looking at a fall/winter timeframe for hitting herd immunity.

My neighbor told me he got his 2nd shot, but it has an expiration date in the Fall????  Maybe he was just confused about what they wrote on his card.  Lol

Can’t we simply say that the 30m that have tested positive plus the 62m that have had one dose (and will likely get the second) means that 92m people have some level of immunity to date?  That’s roughly 27% of the US population.  We need 75-80% to reach herd immunity right?  We’re a long way off then!

The thing is, of those 30m that tested positive, a lot of them got vaccinated. It's probably not 50% but it's certainly not 0%. Determining the overlap is going to be tricky. Keep in mind that the 30m are just confirmed cases, there are more that are unconfirmed, but we don't know how many. If I had to guess I'd say somewhere in the range of 20%-30% of the population have natural immunity.

Something there doesn't make sense .. if 32 are fully vaccinated that makes 64 million doses there - assuming they're pretty much entirely made up of Moderna and Pfizer. 

Do they consider getting both shots one dose?

I used a combination to get these numbers. 62 million was reported on NBC last night. CDC gave the 93 million figure, and full vaccination can be found here: 

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/us-covid-number-fully-vaccinated

32 million fully vaccinated I took to mean either 2 shots or 1 depending on vaccine. The "Total doses" figure would include people who have received one or both shots.

I think the 62 million is phrased as "at least" one dose.

I'm guessing you never heard of a Venn Diagram.

That's too bad, I read an article that said Denmark had 1 death.  They're not sure what's going on it sounds like.  A bad lot of vaccines, or back to the drawing board?  At least this one is not approved yet in the US.

One in four adults in the U.S. has received their first COVID-19 vaccine — and we’re now leading the world in vaccinations. That’s progress.

One in five

Actually, I see that he added the qualifier of one in four adults. I guess that might skew things somewhat. Better to just refer to it as a percentage of the overall population though.

Got my first dose around an hour ago. Hurt a little when the microchip implants into the deltoid, so definitely something to be aware of.
