How low do we need to be to reach herd immunity?

Fairfax County has a population of 1.14 million and the seven day average is five cases per day. New York Times say those vaccinated are at "minimal risk." Presumably whether we wear a mask or not.

Went to the welcome to high school meeting yesterday for parents in an auditorium big enough to do the six foot distancing and we still were forced to wear a mask. That was the longest I've worn a mask since the pandemic began. Glad my kid didn't have to go to school masked, and pray it won't be required in the Fall.

Can indoor concerts ever be safe again?

I long for the day when we can go back to mosh pits, hearing loss, overdoses, carelessly thrown bottles and muggings.

Fully vaccinated and  healthy, I don't care what the vaccination status is of my fellow indoor concert attendees. Just don't hit me with your beer bottle.

San Francisco might be the first major U.S. city to reach herd immunity
As of Wednesday, June 9, 2021, 69% of San Francisco residents were said be fully vaccinated.

seattle was first to hit 70%, but that isn't enough for herd immunity because there are more children than in SF.

A state I don't think I've ever been to. I don't understand the paragraph, copied below. If you're not a southern county, wouldn't you be a northern county by default? What else is there?


While over 53% of all Americans have received at least one shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most southern and northern Missouri counties are well short of 40%. One county is at just 13%.

in all seriousness, MO can be divided horizontally: the KC-to-STL corridor (AKA I-70) splits the state into north, central (KC-to-STL) and south belts/zones/etc.
