[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notice how they say START with the vaccine?  What else could they possibly demand beyond a vaccine in the name of safety?  I am honestly asking this question. [/quote]

I honestly wonder that too. With adults as well as children. There’s so many vocal people who say they don’t “feel safe” even with the vaccine. Well what else are we supposed to do? The vaccine IS the end game. Masks and distancing are just stopgap measures. [/quote]

I'm not that PP, but honestly, I think the next phase of the pandemic is going to be all of the people who have had the tremendous privilege of isolating at home this whole time come to terms with what level of risk they're comfortable with.  For some, once they themselves are vaccinated, they will do whatever they want to/are permitted to do (eat in restaurants, travel, etc).  For others, the anxiety over doing even the smallest activity will be a huge hurdle.  I have had people tell me they cannot imagine walking back into a grocery store or getting a haircut.  This is going to take a lot of time.  And of course, there are tons of people who have not been able to shield themselves to that level so may feel more comfortable with the levels of mitigation being taken in schools, even when kids aren't vaccinated.[/quote]

Oh good gravy. I'm plenty privileged, but I still had to go into the office starting in April. Layered mitigation really does work, as the majority of America that has stepped outside their houses knows.[/quote]

Ok, but to what end?  How far are we going to take this?  At what point have we mitigated the risk?  2023? 2024?  100% vaccinated across the globe?[/quote]
