@lufins-dad said in HIIPA?:
Currently we are seeing 30,000 positive tests per day for 350,000,000 population. That is .000875% of the population if each positive test represents 1 new case
COVID-19 is not a "one day" problem, and you do not test all 350M people in one day anyway. It may be ".000875%" for one day, but what's the percentage for 10 days, 100 days, 400 days? What's the percentage over one person's lifetime? For those who cannot be vaccinated (due to allergies of other medical conditions, say), it's the probability of contraction over his lifetime that matters.

No, it doesn't, because once you win the lottery you're just as likely to win it again as everybody else.

I was only joking

You’re right! All the people that have already had it helps reduce the spread!

Have any of the vaccines been fully approved yet? Or are they all on the emergency approval?
Pfizer has filed the paperwork.
With about 1.5 billion doses administered that’s pretty funny.

Kept telling y'all that Trump moved mountains within the FDA to gain any sort of approval at all.

Agreed. And operation warp speed will go down in history as greater than the moon landing.
