> Last summer, for example, could have been the reopening, and we'd have better data and "science" to support it. Things trended well last summer, but 1) everybody expects a lull in warm weather and 2) vaccination numbers were still low. It was reasonable at the time to hold onto precautions hoping the unvaccinated people would come around before fall. And good thing too, because delta proved to be a real pickle before being displaced by omicron. At some point, it becomes obvious that a large number of people just won't bother getting vaccinated, and you can't realistically keep asking the entire country to go out of their way to protect the people who won't protect themselves. We'll see another wave in the fall, either omicron or some new variant, and hopefully our vaccines will stay ahead of it.
