[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want this over. I think this is a huge mistake. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm very worried.

Here are today's numbers, before the restrictions are lifted.

You do see that 9 people in the entire state were admitted to the hospital for COVID yesterday?  And 14 died?  As high risk folks get vaccinated, the case counts will be irrelevant.  In fact, they will contribute to the herd immunity that you are seeking.  If you are "very worried," it means that you are not qualified to make public health policy.[/quote]

Not necessarily. The change is +9   I’m not arguing that this is the case, but as many as 810 people could have been admitted to the hospital yesterday IF 801 people previously in the hospital were discharged.

My concern is the number of people vaccinated — which is still quite low, and even lower among some higher risk demographic groups.  
I think a better plan would be to get all of the teachers vaccinated, get the kids back in schools, and at least get the people in group 2 vaccinated. My ideal would be to aim for opening up by Memorial Day weekend, with every adult who wants one able to be at least partially vaccinated.

I don’t disagree with the categories, but there are a lot of very high risk people out there who aren’t yet eligible to even sign up for a vaccine.
