We are now at the same rate of Covid cases as in late January. yet nobody is socially distancing and the people in states with no mandate are without masks. The problem is, we got vaccinated.
Because the adults got vaccinated, Covid now is considered nothing more than a flu level virus. That means people are going about life completely normally. We drove through Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska. Only in Oregon was there a mask mandate indoors. But even there, no social distancing. Young people are interacting, going to concerts and so on. Some among them definitely are not vaccinated.
We will get over this thing, as the vaccines and any future versions of vaccines will make sure that deaths are down, even if you get Covid. But the price of going about business as usual is that we will have a year more of the pandemic. It will go down to Jun and July levels by winter. A slight bump for Christmas. But it will not go away. So by not cooperating (hello Trump voters!) we are just dragging this thing out. And you may still get Covid. And you will not like it.
