I don't necessarily mean to a small amount of cases. I'm trying to wrap my head around what the next couple months will be looking like. It's not enough, but at least in my state the mask mandate is back everywhere and we're opening more testing sites/improving numbers at current sites. Our vaccination rate is also over 80%. The vaccine is widely available and easy to walk in and get.
The problem is still no mandatory lock down, not enough proper time off, and not all jobs pay workers (outside of PTO) who take off for covid related issues. Those are pretty big road blocks to number of cases going down.
Do these numbers ever go down to noticeable degree without proper measures in place? If not, I wonder what it'll take to get a real response again
Also wondering the same lol. Somehow I haven't gotten covid yet
Might have just had a non-visibly symptomatic case. There's still probably plenty of those.
As far as I know, I haven't. There was one outbreak at my work and I tested myself throughout it and didn't get it. It's possible, but I haven't been near many people other than work
Well I'm rooting for you then! Even though I didn't get tested at the time, I'm now quite certain I had a relatively non-symptomatic case very early on. I exhibited some long-covid cognitive effects that I couldn't make sense of at the time, but then when vaccines came out I STRONGLY reacted to the first dose implying I had previous immune exposure. Had it not been for that vaccine reaction I may have never realized it, though. I really couldn't tell you when I caught it - just that it was clearly sometime before the vaccine.
