It sucks big time when 20 to 25% of the population refuses to get vaccinated. Yeah, the virus still goes around but you don't get as sick or end up in the ICUs. We are back on emergency only medical treatment and under all kinds of restrictions on gatherings, especially those with kids involved. They are also talking about shelving the COVID passes because it isn't slowing transmission. The bars and restaurants want the money so they ignore the pass just to stay open longer. The big fear now is that the vaccinated majority is infecting the non-vaccinated minority, sending them to the hospitals and filling up the ICU beds. For that 20% minority, the 80% are now facing the more strict restrictions, and being told we can't see doctors, go to restaurants or bars, or go to indoor concerts. My mask wearing and distancing isn't for me - it is for that minority, to keep them from getting the virus. I am getting sick and tired of it.
I am really hoping omicron is a fast moving variant that burns itself out quickly.
