Herd immunity is considered 70% of a given population having immunity. 70% of the U.S. population of 328M people is 230M people. As of March 10, 2021, the CDC says (at the link below) that 95.7M Americans have been vaccinated, and about 2.2M more are being vaccinated every day. Ok, so here's the math (rounded off): 230 - 98 = 134. 134 / 2.2 = 61. 61 days from today is May 11, but now I assume it'll be much sooner; after all, WSJ was pushing out this editorial declaring herd immunity by April, and the author of that article is Dr. Marty Makary is a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health; as you know, Johns Hopkins has been the main source of data about the virus throughout the past year.
