If you look at Israel cases started to collapse significantly in the first two weeks of March around the same time “fully vaccinated” hit 40%. The variant changes the dynamic as does our vaccine mix, and I haven’t checked what their restrictions looked like then.

But there’s every reason to be positive as we push through 50% which the delay will take us to, and closer to 60% roughly where our “one dose” figure stands now.
