No surprise.

I can understand the pressures to fully reopen but there will be a surge; just how bad it will be is to be seen.

Assuming it happens: then what?

Reclose, or ride it out?

A surge of the stupid that did not get vaccinated

Oh yeah, consider all the potential unneeded hospital bills one can generate.

People getting the vaccine really are more intelligent.

By far most of the expense of Covid has not been the hospital bills. It has been the payments and loss of jobs and business's. Shutting down again would cost more than the hospital bills would cost.

The vaccine is widely available. No reason to shut down at all IF PEOPLE WOULD TAKE IT!

Go take it if you want it. You will then be safe and have nothing to worry about.

Giving a reason for not taking it doesn't mean you've ever had one good reason. Not one.

I do not need a "good reason." I do not want it. My body, my choice.

The only one he will kill is another antivaccer. I thought you would be happy to get rid of them.
