The situation with the distribution of coronavirus in the US and the development of American immunity citizens to the COVID-19 caused by them to the end of the summer will change to the better. With this forecast, the American president Joe Biden spoke on Monday, commenting on the publication in the New York Times newspaper that the collective immunity to coronavirus is unlikely to be formed in the United States due to the large number of infection options and the high proportion of vaccination.
“I think, by the end of the summer, we will be in a position that is very different from which we are now,” said Biden, answering questions from journalists during a working trip to Virginia. “There is a discussion of what is a collective immunity, whether it is about 70%, 68%, 81% of [population]. The situation is such that [in the US] currently no one after the age of 16 do not need to stand in line [by vaccination From the new coronavirus]. I ask you to vaccinate everyone, “said the head of the Washington Administration.
The New York Times noted that at least 30% of Americans doubt the need for vaccinations. At the same time, the newspaper indicates, for the formation of collective immunity to the “British” variant of coronavirus requires the presence of antibodies in 80% of the population. However, as the New York Times stated, such calculations are very relative. First, the United States is not isolated from other countries of the world, and for complete victory over a pandemic, a high level of immunity in all mankind explained to the newspaper. Secondly, it stated, a high medium level of immunity does not reflect the real state of affairs in various parts of such a large country as the United States, where in one city the number of people who have antibodies due to vaccination or after illness can be significantly higher than in another where people for some reason massively refuse to be vaccinated.
