"At this rate, there won't be any new cases in two weeks, never mind April."

We're seeing the end of the holiday wave. It follows the exact same bell curve the previous two waves did in the US, and the exact same curve every other wave in every other country and region on Earth has since the start. This is epidemiology 101.

We should reach herd immunity around July. There will still be new cases in July and August, but the rate will slow consistently as new cases dwindle toward zero. This is a function of Rt.

My Hobby: Extrapolating

Your hobby is non sequiturs.

We're seeing the end of the holiday wave.

Fauci's holiday wave? You believe that? Document that with real data. Holiday gatherings were small this year. People who actually go out to work were probably exposed to more people at work than they were at home, during the holidays.

New cases actually dipped during the holidays for several reasons. And the number of new cases after the holidays then went back to a level that follows the same slope of the curve that was seen before the holidays.

It follows the exact same bell curve the previous two waves did in the US, and the exact same curve every other wave in every other country and region on Earth has since the start. This is epidemiology 101.

Citing the bell curve actually doesn't explain the reason why. You would actually have to cite the reason why something follows the bell curve.

LOL!

Between the number of people who get vaccinated, the number of identified cases and the estimated number of unreported infections, Dr. Marty Makary — a surgeon and a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health thinks that we will have herd immunity by April.

Johns Hopkins professor claims that the US will reach herd immunity by APRIL with COVID-19 cases falling by 72% in six weeks - and slams other experts for 'hiding the truth'

He makes the case well and I agree with him.
