Jose Cruz, your comments show a level of ignorance that is astounding. Not only is there blatant misinformation in them used to simply push your own opinions, but claiming it would've been more acceptable to let 2 million people die is simply beyond ignorant. And you tried posting this rhetoric in another covid thread as well. You're done with this topic. I suggest you forgo any more of your commentary on covid related topics.

August cons might happen if we truly do get 100mln vaccinated in 100 days.

That’s less than a third of the US population… I had read we need 60-70% coverage for herd immunity to kick in and really stop the virus from spreading. Plus, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines need two doses. At the current rate of 1 million doses/day, and needing 600 million doses (300 million people x 2 doses) to get sufficient coverage, that works out to like a year and half.


You have President Biden pledging to get enough to vaccinate everyone by the end of the summer. But that doesn't mean August, necessarily. And vaccines take time to kick in.

So I guess the thing to watch is how the increasing pace of vaccinations affects the metrics that inform whether conventions like Otakon etc. are feasible.
