[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been so confused by people who lament that they will no longer feel "safe" to dine indoors without a vax mandate. Folks keep quoting infection protection data from Delta, the landscape is different with Omicron and will likely stay that way. Community rates would be the best indication of safety of dining indoors. Whether the person next to you got J&J in [b]April 2020[/b], a lot less so. The latest data on boosters shows declining protection against infection after just two months. We have vaccines that protect against hospitalization, but omicron completely blew apart how much protection is provided against infection unless people actively boost every 4-ish months, which will not be sustainable. Otherwise, statistically speaking, a vax mandate won't do much in the long term to prevent transmission in settings where people are unmasked (other than hopefully keep hospitalization rates lower)[/quote] Oops, I meant April 2021[/quote]
