When will the pandemic end? It's the question hanging over just about everything since Covid-19 took over the world last year. The answer can be measured in vaccinations.
Bloomberg has built the biggest database of Covid-19 shots given around the world, with more than 119 million doses administered worldwide.
US experts like Dr Anthony Fauci have suggested it will take 70 per cent to 85 per cent coverage of the population for things to return to normal.
Bloomberg's Vaccine Tracker shows that some countries are making far more rapid progress than others, using 75 per cent coverage with a two-dose vaccine as a target.
With vaccine manufacturers scaling up production, more people will be vaccinated in a shorter time.
Israel, the country with the highest vaccination rate in the world currently, is headed for 75 per cent coverage in just two months. The US will get there just in time to ring in the 2022 New Year (though North Dakota could get there six months sooner than Texas).
With vaccinations happening more rapidly in richer Western countries than the rest of the globe, it will take the world as a whole seven years at the current pace.
Bloomberg's calculator provides a snapshot in time, designed to put today's vaccination rates into perspective. It uses the most recent rolling average of vaccinations, which means that as vaccination numbers pick up, the time needed to hit the 75 per cent threshold will fall. The calculations will be volatile, especially in the early days of the roll-out, and the numbers can be distorted by temporary disruptions.

Before then, of course, we will have Covid-20, Covid-21....

BS.
The world returned to normal in just 2 years after the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918.
And that was without a vaccine.
How about Israel? They’re getting the Moderna vaccine it looks like, the same vaccine my wife and I got. That’s reassuring.
Like,never dude.
Normal? That’s something you’ll tell your grandkids about. They’ll think your crazy.
It seems like it can only mutate so far before it becomes a brand new virus or reaches maximum affinity. The Receptor Binding Domain can only mutate towards greater affinity for the ACE2 receptor so far. And if it mutates to recognize a new receptor, it has basically become a new virus and it really seems like it would need a helping hand to do that.
I read that 1.5 million vaccinations have been given each M-F since early January. If true, that should mount up pretty quickly.
Anyone still in favor of mandatory masking/lockdowns ect is an enemy of freedom.
slo joe is slo rolling the vaccinations. Instead of a hundred million in 100 days, he’s falling flat on his face.
RE: slo joe is slo rolling the vaccinations.
Slo Jo is NOT in charge. He is sheltering in place and simply emerging to rubber stamp any written Executive Orders that he has to sign.
While that may be true, does the average citizen know or even understand this? No. They will tell us to keep wearing masks and social distance crap for as long as they want, until it becomes second nature....................
He can't even open the pen and write, he is demented.
Covid-19...84 will go forever.
Probably. I wonder if freedom will die to the sound of raging resistance or thunderous applause. I’m guessing the latter.
