Maybe 'Normal' Isn't Normal

 Journalist: "How many Americans need to be vaccinated for us to get back to normal?" 

President Biden: "97%, 98%. I think we'll get awful close. But I'm not the scientist. I think one thing is for certain. A quarter of the country can't go unvaccinated and us not continue to have a problem."

I sat and paused over the question and the answer.

Why 97-percent?  Why not 100-percent?

But the next question is....what brings you to normalcy?  If you still had 300 people dying each day in California but 100-percent of people vaccinated....is that 'normal'?

What if you had 120 people each day in South Carolina sent into the hospital and on ventilators within three days....with ten dying by the 5th day.....and 100-percent of South Carolina folks vaccinated....is that normal?

What if you had 2,000 kids per day in America tested and positive for Covid, with 10 of them dead within two weeks....with 100-percent of all kids vaccinated....is that normal?

FYI, if you go view flu/pneumonia death numbers for Alabama in 2017.....1,174 folks who died via this method.  In California in 2017, it was 6,340 folks who died via that situation.
