Everyone has to be vaccinated and we must all prove it to exist in society ( even people who had covid )? So, it isn't about herd immunity anymore? It isn't about stopping covid, but getting everyone the vaccine and forcing them to carry identification everywhere? "It’s time for people to see vaccination as necessary to living a good and full and healthy life,” de Blasio said during his daily press briefing." That's what people were saying was going to happen more than a year ago and they were attacked for being conspiracy theorists... Whatever happened to needing 60 or 70% of the people vaccinated to gain herd immunity and stop this pandemic? So 100% vaccination, even for those who had covid and you must carry documentation/id at all times? Why now? Why for this disease? Especially considering the mortality rate is far lower than what was originally projected. When the projections were 5%+, I can understand erring on the side of caution, but the mortality rate is lower than 1% last I checked. So odd.

Delta variant necessitates a higher level of herd immunity because it's so much more transmissible. > Everyone has to be vaccinated and we must all prove it to exist in society ( even people who had covid )? So, it isn't about herd immunity anymore? It isn't about stopping covid, but getting everyone the vaccine and forcing them to carry identification everywhere? No, it's very obviously about stopping covid. Don't be obtuse.

  > Delta variant necessitates a higher level of herd immunity because it's so much more transmissible. How much higher? 100%? > No, it's very obviously about stopping covid. Then why are those who already got covid told to get the vaccines? Doesn't make much sense does it? > Don't be obtuse. Are you part of the team downvoting anyone who is simple asking basic questions? The covid brigading is rather obvious and hilarious.

    Delta appears to have about a 2x R_o over the original Covid strain. So, yes, that requires a much higher herd immunity to get transmission rates below 1.0
