Seems like an awfully low bar, but I suppose we can go for progressive enhancement, so long as it's also safe.
It's not spreading that fast right now. https://covid19-projections.com/infections-tracker/ Cutting the average rate by half means we can roll back a bunch of restrictions and still be below 1.
Interesting as Fauci has said he'd "settle" for 70-75%. This seems too low.
