To anyone confused about these reopenings, particularly in the US, it's actually pretty easy to understand: 1. Governments have decided that by now if you're not vaccinated it's by choice (which it is, barring actual medical conditions) it's by choice and the governments (as well as many people) have stopped caring; 2. The CDC's recent self-isolation has shown that given (1), the government cares more about keeping the economy going or has decided everyone is going to get Omicron anyway or both; and 3. The government has decided (and probably modeled) that hospitals might strain under the load but won't collapse as was a much bigger risk 1-2 years ago. The statistics are pretty stark on this. In the US 2000+ people still die of Covid every day, 90-95% of those are unvaccinated and it feels like the government and people in general have lost patience with people who at this point are simply choosing to die.
