[quote=Anonymous]We’re now far enough out from the lifting of the mask mandate to see the effects of lifting it. Surprise, cases went up. The vaccines aren’t as effective in preventing transmission as we first thought, though they appear to be pretty good at preventing serious illness. Our healthcare workers are going to be in for another rough thanksgiving and christmas as hospitalizations go up again. I have no desire to mask forever, but the virus is still fairly new. We don’t have a good handle on the mean time between significant mutations, we don’t know for sure how long immunity (natural or vaccine) lasts, and we have neither enough genetic sequencing nor enough breakthrough data to be certain that it’s ok to get rid of low-cost measures like masking. I don’t understand why the council was in such a hurry to get rid of the mandate and thought it needed to play games with numbers to do so. [/quote]
