Default Percent

I think right now NH has given vaccine shots to over 54% of the population. Hard to tell 1st or both shots but a good measure of progress. This is on par with most of the other New England States.

If you look at the charts that show serious illness or even death - the curve is steep for those older and with underlying conditions. The young - exponentially lower as I'm sure everyone has seen. Strange how we don't really know why this particular virus is so hard on older people (even talking about in their 50's) that are even in perfect shape.

Anyway, perhaps by the time Bike Week rolls around, that percent vaccinated population will jump to over 75% only leaving those at very, very low risk of serious health issues.

Some day (Hopefully soon) we will get to a point where deaths are nil given the vaccine of those at risk and infections (especially with young people) is not viewed as a concern.

Or not...
