Until covid rates drop off a cliff, you can assume we've not hit herd immunity. By the fall younger kids will be vaccinated and herd immunity is likely for some regions and another painful winter is likely for others.
I imagine Covid out breaks will soon become more regional as some areas have vastly higher percentage than others.

My point is they didn't have to do this now. It could wait another month or two before...
