I think you misunderstand my meaning

what matters with COVID is what strain this puts on our infrastructure. If cases are largely hitting people who end up not showing symptoms of any significance, because of vaccinations, that means we've won. We've been in a bunker mentality for a year and a bit and some day that will end, as vaccines solve this. Here, there are case numbers but they are largely trivia at this point. They won't rise to difficult to manage numbers because it's hard for it to spread now (even Delta!), and those that do get it will by and large not show significant symptoms. Now, vaccine resistance is small here, people wear masks without complaint and people isolate when they have it, so there's some luxury here in that. But unless and until cases #s translate into strain on medical facilities, I say we take the W.

I don’t think I’m misunderstanding you but rather suffering from living in a place where vaccine resistance is far greater and hostility is stronger. - Qale Jul 5, 18:15
One complication with this approach is Long Covid. If vaccines aren't enough to tamp down that occurrence, then there could be long term - Beryllium Jul 5, 17:53 2
- currently, Long COVID with vaccination seems to be very rare. -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 18:13 1
  - people with compromised immune systems, organ transplants etc can incubate covid for months, one guy in boston fostered 7 varients of his own -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 5, 18:29
