I hope so too :+1:
the info is encouraging
I have also read that people who had covid can get it again, and that they have a strong antibody response to being vaccinated
bottom line seems to be that the vaccine is important, including for people who had covid
other reading indicates a need for a booster shot after 6-12 months
however, due to the shortage of vaccines worldwide, there is a belief that before USA people get boosters, vaccines should be prioritized for people who have not been vaccinated, both in USA and worldwide… Because travel will continue to spread corona from unvaccinated people.
in any case, I do hope we continue to see increasing numbers of people being vaccinated in USA, and worldwide.
Presently 44% of the USA population has been vaccinated.
Where I live, people are now going grocery shopping without masks. this is in response to CDC guidance that vaccinated individuals dont need to wear masks… I still wear my mask at the grocery store…
otoh, I met yesterday with a group of Six people, without masks. We are all vaccinated, and we sat outside and shared food and conversation.
It does feel like corona is starting to be less of a concern. I hope we dont see a spike in infections.
as you can see, compared to the number of new cases, 9% die…
this is not good news
disclaimer, I suspect this discussion is out of bounds… goes beyond personal experience… sooo… I suggest people continue to understand that corona is not over, and vaccination is essential… that is My Personal Opinion
