    It's fine for (most of) those who are vaccinated, but the vulnerable aren't being protected, nor is the healthcare system.

    I mean, the Black Plague ended after a few decades, so maybe?

    In the UK we're transitioning to Schrödinger's virus.

    No tests. No virus.

    My wife (an MD) has seen a marked difference in clinic with omicron between mRNA vaxxed, J&J vaxxed and unvaxxed. Unvaxxed have had way worse symptoms, J&J has been almost as bad as unvaxxed and mRNA vaxxed are almost all very mild. That is her firsthand observation.

    @DigMe thanks, it's good to hear on the ground reports. I'm boosted on Pfizer, but clinically vulnerable. I've kept informed via research papers and following a few epidemiologists with a good track record. However I'm now faced with either shielding alone for an endless duration, or mitigate where poss., enforce FFP3/N95 mask usage, hope there are no escape variants, and roll the dice.

    I didn't trust it to hold during the trough before Delta. My wife, a Mistress of Public Health, thought I was nuts when I insisted on masks. I'm sticking with that till the Israelis give the O.K. When you're attacked for 70+ years, you get good at war and medicine.
