> Is the curve not flat?

Yes, thanks to all the regulations.

> How much flatter do you want it to be before returning to normal life?

When returning to normal life, you want to curve to stay flat. So when a majority of people are vaccinated.

> Yes, thanks to all the regulations.

No. That was months ago. What about those with vaccination or reconvalescence immunity? Those don't affect the curve?

[scrollaway]

A majority of people ARE vaccinated in the US. And you're vaccinating over 1% more per day. Don't undersell yourselves.

[codingdave]

36.3% are fully vaccinated. It is great progress. But it is not a majority.

[greedo]

Currently 46.6% of the population. Over 2m/day on average being vaccinated.

NB: codingdave is referring to fully vaccinated individuals, while greedo is referring to individuals with at least one shot. Both are correct.

@scrollaway is most definitely _not_ correct however, since no number below 50% is “a majority” of the population by definition, and regardless that is not a sufficient number to deliver value in the form of herd immunity via vaccine.
