It’s too soon to declare victory over the coronavirus. But there’s a good chance that V-C Day is coming very quickly. Christmas? Nonsense. Fourth of July? Almost certainly. Memorial Day? Maybe.
Rates of infection have retreated before, but this time will be different, because a colossal number of Americans (perhaps 120 million) have already been infected, because a very large number of Americans (65 million) have received a vaccine, and, crucially, because a major chunk of the people we would most like to get vaccinated (due to age or because they interact with lots of others) already have had their shot.
Everywhere the virus turns, it is looking at roadblocks. It has fewer and fewer avenues to destroy. The beast is being cornered. And the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should be approved within days, with 20 million doses soon to be ready. With all of these weapons, and rapidly burgeoning infrastructure to deliver them to the target, getting 2 million people a day vaccinated is not a far-fetched goal. Even those who only get one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine will enjoy a terrific level of protection. As the distribution machinery starts to work more efficiently, we could get something like 180 million shots into arms this spring, on top of the 65 million jabs that have already been jabbed. It is not necessary for every last American to get a shot before the virus goes into its inevitable death spiral. These trends appear likely to cut it to shreds before the first really hot day arrives in the Northeast. Meanwhile, cases have fallen 75 percent from a peak seven-day average of a quarter of a million in January to 55,000 on February 22.

Cuz they need to get the “Biden did it!” gears in motion (from the story: “Although I respect President Biden’s under-promise/over-deliver tendencies...”). Once they’ve gone overboard with that, we’ll all be healed! Man, I hate these people.
I think National Review should be banned.
Geez Louise.
Glad to see they agree that Operation Warpspeed got the Trump Vaccines into production in warpspeed time.
The only thing holding us up is the doddering, molasses slow, incompetent SloJoe distribution disaster.
The plandemic will end when the people who gave it to the world decides it’s time to end it. Why does National Review even exist anymore?
President Trump tried ending it last Easter. The Democrats will find a way to extend it.
Anthropomorphizing a disease. Okay.
As I understand it Astra Zeneca asked for the covid ending July 2021 date so that when they roll out their “nonprofit” version of the vaccine their investors can then start making money, or some such twaddle.

Why not 9 months ago, when we realized the death rate was nowhere near what was first feared?
I would settle for a warning:
“This is a Deep State publication. They specialize in disinformation.”
Definitely not March 1st.
The author is being overly cautious about April 1st.
Exactly. Biden did it! If only we had been blessed with such a real leader when it first hit. The message will be constant.
Tends to make you wonder why as soon as there is any lull or pullback of infections reported, a new 'wave' or 'variant' or 'mutancy' just happens to pop up out of wuha... errr nowhere.
The CDC changed the requirements for a positive covid diagnosis on...wait for it...January 20th. Now it requires a positive test AND symptoms. And voila! Cases are down dramatically, “thanks to St. Joke!”
Here’s why Brazil’s Manaus is battling a second Covid wave despite natural ‘herd immunity’
Covid-19 in Manaus peaked in April-May 2020 and then developed a supposed 76% herd immunity by October, but the Brazilian city is now besieged by a second wave.
Exactly. The severity of the virus depends on the political situation. Out in California the effort to recall Gavin Newsom is nearing reality, and numerous media outlets are reporting on the seriousness and growing danger posed by the California strain of COVID. Hmm. Should I question the timing of these stories as being pushed to defend Newsom’s efforts at fighting the virus? We really are a nation of fools!
Typical statement for a stupid public when politics drives the media and science.
Really now? The beast is being cornered?
In high school 42 years ago I learned that a virus was a phage. I also learned to wear a condom when having sex because sperm are so tiny that a million could fit in 2ml. I also learned that viruses are so small that 1,000 of them could fit inside one sperm cell.
Wearing a mask is like holding seawater back in a submarine with screen doors.
[Cuz they need to get the “Biden did it!” gears in motion]
Yep, that will be their latest lie.
“Why not 9 months ago, when we realized the death rate was nowhere near what was first feared?”
Pretty much yes.
