We're at almost 3000 cases a day, when we were at 1000 just a month ago.

We're approaching 50% immunized, but outside of major cities we have a huge conservative population that refuses to get vaccinated.

My factory offered Pfizer shots. 4 hr of extra pay as an incentive. We got less than 50% participation from a factory of 100 workers.

My wife works in a pharmacy connected to a grocery store. The other night they had extra vaccine left and struggled to find takers for it among the employees.

I'm afraid it's going to be a struggle to hit herd immunity.
