In second was North Dakota at 68 percent, followed by Rhode Island at 62 percent and at 60 percent.Is it time to end all these lockdowns?Yes: 99% (2219 Votes)No: 1% (26 Votes)Nearing 60 percent as well were Oklahoma and Utah, at 58 percent, followed by Tennessee, at 57 percent.Previously on Feb. 17, Quintanilla also showing that Nebraska was at 51 percent while Wisconsin and Indiana were at 50 percent. Mississippi, Wyoming and Kansas were just below 50 percent at the time.Nationally, some commentators believe herd immunity will arrive this spring.Advertisement - story continues belowDr. Suzanne Judd, an epidemiologist in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, is betting on May, using a figure of 72 percent to achieve herd immunity.The arrival of herd immunity will mean “cases decrease without social intervention, which might be what we are starting to see right now,” Judd said in a research article posted on the .Related:“We are seeing sharp declines in the hospitalization ratio in the last month and a half, likely driven by monoclonal antibody therapy, but possibly also driven by the vaccine,” Judd said. “If people are vaccinated and still become infected, the case may be milder than it would have been if they were not vaccinated, which leads to lower hospitalizations.”Judd said she believes the will not vanish completely, however.Advertisement - story continues below“I think that COVID-19 is going to be endemic in the United States,” Judd said. “It is going to be like the seasonal flu, something we have to tolerate regularly. There will be isolated outbreaks, and they will likely occur in populations with lower immunity. This means that, just like the flu, a strong vaccination campaign will be needed to keep people out of the hospital.”In a Feb. 18 Op-Ed written for , Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, said a combination of immunity from past infections and means the U.S. is rapidly reaching herd immunity.“Cases are down 77% over the past six weeks,” he wrote. “If a medication slashed cases by 77%, we’d call it a miracle pill. Why is the number of cases plummeting much faster than experts predicted?”“In large part because natural immunity from prior infection is far more common than can be measured by testing. Testing has been capturing only from 10% to 25% of infections, depending on when during the pandemic someone got the virus. Applying a time-weighted case capture average of 1 in 6.5 to the cumulative 28 million confirmed cases would mean about 55% of Americans have natural immunity.”Advertisement - story continues below“Now add people getting vaccinated. As of this week, 15% of Americans have received the vaccine, and the figure is rising fast. Former Food and Drug Commissioner Scott Gottlieb estimates 250 million doses will have been delivered to some 150 million people by the end of March,” Makary continued.“There is reason to think the country is racing toward an extremely low level of infection. As more people have been infected, most of whom have mild or no symptoms, there are fewer Americans left to be infected. At the current trajectory, I expect Covid will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life.”Submit a Correction →We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism.Tags:, , , , , ,AdvertisementArmed with a scriptural understanding of God’s wrath, we can and should be working to chart a better course for our nation’s future.On a day the White House chose to celebrate the 'Inflation Reduction Act,' reality had a way of breaking up the party.State troopers and medical personnel rushed to the site of the head-on collision, but he was declared dead at the scene.Winfrey's calls for 'healing' rang hollow as a bell after she helped Prince Harry and Meghan Markle throw the royal family under the bus.Since Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday, there have been multiple natural phenomena that some have interpreted as signs from God.During a procession of the Queen Elizabeth II's casket through Edinburgh, Scotland, Prince Andrew was heckled.'We’re exceedingly doubtful that the release of the Epstein records would "interfere with enforcement proceedings,"' Techno Fog said.Arizona's Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has a plan for the state, which she has outlined in detail.A Texas teacher has been fired from the high school where she taught after she was outed on social media for discussing the concept of re-labeling pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons” […]Meghan Markle recieved a cold shoulder from Britons mourning Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle over the weekend.
