Thanx Joe! Over 40% of U.S. adults are fully vaccinated. 150 million Americans @ least one dose.

The United States is now averaging fewer than 50,000 new coronavirus cases per day, a level not seen since early October and a sign that the nation's mass vaccination program is having an impact on the pandemic.

In the week ending Sunday, the United States reported 344,463 cases. The daily average is down about 22,000 cases each day from a small peak seen three weeks ago. It's down much further from the records set in January; the United States is now reporting as many cases in a week as it was getting every two days then.

Helping the cause: Almost 150 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine, and over 40% of U.S. adults are fully vaccinated.

Once that happens making it mandatory will be much easier. The law is clear that employers can mandate vaccines but many have been reluctant because the covid vaccine hasn’t been fully approved.
