I appreciate how respectful of differing opinions this conversation has been the past few pages! Right now, I care about my personal green and what is good for business considerably more than red/blue politics (and I don't need a lesson on why either is better for my personal situation).
I am so happy to see how full airpots are right now, but what I really want to see is my friends and neighbors who are Big4 consultants traveling like they used to. They are ready to travel, their firms are ready to send them, but a lot of clients (especially those outside the country) are still concerned.
Breakthrough, asymptomatic, I dont care...all I care about is countries feeling confident that when variant 'Delta Delta Delta' strikes, the population will mostly recover at home without overwhelming public health infrastructure, and I think vaccines build that confidence.
This chart is not perfect, but shows how this wave is very different than the last waves of covid (in the UK) and supports their reopening plan. What I like, is it attempts to control for the 'look back period' of when cases go up, but few people have succumbed...yet.
