Based on other countries with similar fully vaxxed rates (~50% of total pop) cases will probably shoot up really quickly over a couple weeks and then go back down even quicker. Here in the northeast I’m not as concerned but southern states may feel it a bit longer. Overall I don’t see a huge impact

It won’t be.

I think the main variables are degree of spread and “leaders” degree of giving a fuck. I’m having a hard time imagining the latter is very high…

I think any employer who would put employees at risk regardless of the level of that risk would be destroyed.

We’re seeing employers (most of them really) do exactly that right now. The time to stop travel and stop re-opening is now - not AFTER cases shoot up.

Last night BF and I went out to dinner since neither of us wanted to cook. We were having an enjoyable evening and ran into a former co-worker and her husband who I have not seen since before COVID. Ex co-worker made this odd scene about my "glow up" and even posted to social media a picture she insisted both couples take.
Anyone else ever find themselves in a similar situation?
