Progress towards herd immunity in the US:
~30 million have had COVID
~50 million have received at least 1 dose of vaccine
~70 million are children; not eligible for vaccine.
After considering some overlap in 3 groups: ~140 million to go to get 80% of eligible population immune

With J & J approval, this goal is achievable within 3-4 months.
Things then will be remarkably good considering how good the vaccines are in preventing deaths & hospitalizations. It will relieve the huge stress many frontline health care workers have endured for the last year.

Here is information on vaccines by state. @Forbes forbes.com/sites/joewalsh…
Adding comment 1:
30 million have already had COVID is confirmed cases. It is likely 2-3 times more have had undiagnosed COVID but are immune nevertheless.
My estimates are conservative. So we are likely much closer to the goal.
