Weekly update, no much progress


Reported cases in Israel are still not really declining, flattened out slowly rising, despite half the population now having received a shot. (53.2 percent one dose, 39% second dose) I guess since all the vulnerable people receive shots first, those who keep themselves save anyway, real decline won't show up until the young and restless get their shots. Reported deaths are on a steady decline in Israel.

They would if people interacted randomly like cattle. No wonder, then, the concept of herd immunity comes from veterinary medicine.

Since you'll have younger people mostly interacting among themselves, and the same, I suppose, for more vaccine-skeptic groups like orthodox Jews, the rest of the population being vaccinated will mean nothing in terms of the reproduction rate of the virus among these populations.
