Well in Denmark with a high vaccine rate we have had ALL restriction lifted on sep 10. I for one is almost daily in mass commute packed like 2019, and for a month, somehow the infection rate is basically flat, the hospitalizations is flat and the death toll is flat. The danes enjoy our vaccinated "daily freedom" instead of arguing about (likely factful) technicalities about what exactly the vaccines do and does not protect against... As a citizen daily autonomy matters more to me than the mechanisms EDIT: the infection rate might be underrepresented as we test vastly fewer now then in the summer, as the danish gov does not care as much about infection as bad outcomes (as we cannot eradicate the virus anyways)

Denmark: ~80% adult vax rate, 6M population NYC: ~80% adult vax rate, 9M population Flat metrics for both NYC is firing nurses and teachers who have immunity, while retaining vaccinated nurses and teachers who can be infected and transmit. Vax passes causing 40% revenue reduction for some restaurants - and that's before winter closes outdoor seating. No option to prove immunity or negative test. Thanks to to Denmark for their sane example.

  We Danes do pride ourselves of "samfundssind" (community sense) and pragmatic solutions (also in politics). We are obviously not a dream society but in the grand scale of things our nation putters along just fine and most people are happy about most of our society (including the politicians which regularly does "over the middle" deals with not much drama).. We do have the covid-app too, but it is currently totally unused (I believe) The app gave you a "pass" based on one of four criterias: - some days until some months (still being determined) after positive PCR test (i.e. sick and recovered) - some days after first vaccination until some month (TBD) after last vaccination (i.e. vaxxed) - short time (2 or 3 days, as I remember) after a negative PCR test - even shorter (1 or 2 days, I think) after negative quick test But as said, I cannot think of anywhere, where I would need to prove it anymore anyways (I am fully vaxxed btw).
