As it slowly ramps faster, up to17.3 million now vaccinated now.
We should surpass the million a day mark very soon.
With over 15 million already known infections, and the predicted three to four times more than that non reported infections, we likely are at about 25% of the population with antibodies.
Once it hits these levels, only the newer strains have shown high contagious levels like weve seen, and they seem to come in waves, as did the first strains, just higher and shorter peaks.
Again, as a virus mutates, the superior mutations are likely the ones that are more contagious, as the older strains just cant keep up, while both create firewalls, or reach out beyond its pockets of shared transmission, and is why we see peaks and valleys, but also creates a firewall it has to get around with new contacts, thus the firewall effects and the valleys, or lower numbers of infection in areas.
But at 25% we should start seeing an overall slowing effect, lets hope so, to give us time to vaccinate as opposed to natural infection with all its effects.
