We also had little idea and no direct way to bolster our immune systems against it.
Now, though, you can have had up to four shots of vaccine and years of learning various mitigation efforts (masks, distancing, etc).
The risk profiles are totally different because of greater tools and information.
- dariusj18 5y agoThis is it exactly, in the first year we had little to know information as to the severity of the illness or the methods of transmission. With time we have developed vaccinations to mitigate the worst outcomes and have a much better understanding of the transmission vectors. I still wear a mask around because it's such a small inconvenience, and I still won't go into indoor crowded event, but I am considering easing up my defensive profile.
