    Four States Appear to Have Reached Herd Immunity, More Following Close Behind

    Despite gloom promulgated by President Joe Biden that the nation has to suffer through a “dark winter” due to the rampaging ravage of COVID-19, new data says that weeks from spring the picture is already changing.


    CNBC host Carl Quintanilla posted on Twitter on Friday a snapshot of results from a nationwide study showing which states are getting closer to achieving herd immunity.


    “.. cumulatively and slowly, the US is seeing more states reach that combined level of vaccinations + infections approach what is seen as herd immunity,” Quintanilla quoted, referencing a study by Fundstrat along with data from the COVID Tracking Project and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


    Fundstrat has been keeping tabs on the total number of people in each state who have both had the coronavirus and been vaccinated against it, on the grounds that once 60 percent of a state’s population has either had the virus or taken the vaccine, that state has reached herd immunity — the level where a disease does not spread easily because so many people in the group are immune.


    Although the CDC has not laid out a definitive number regarding herd immunity, common thresholds for infectious diseases range from 50 percent to 90 percent, depending on how contagious the disease is, according to a report from Gypsyamber D’Souza and David Dowdy at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

    do you realize that there are still people who think they're going to die of covid if they let down their guard. Mask, gloves, social distancing, attacking non maskers, screaming, crying, running in for unnecesary tests that are doing more harm than good.
