Umm, not much we can do being concerned. Cautious yes, get vaccinated yes.

I highly doubt we’ll do another lockdown. The effects on the economy would be devastating, and set a bad precedent.

The variant is still infecting people who are fully vaccinated. The infection won’t land you in the hospital but what about “long covid” concerns/damage for those who are vaccinated? No one has reported on this.

Exactly agree with you. No real report on true efficacy/adverse reactions.

My mom does a thing where anytime she feels stressed out about something, she tries to get other people to feel stress about it too. This feels like that.

Hahaha yesss I was trying to understand why OP post this but did not have a clue.

My son’s scouting camp is making everyone get tested, vaccine or not, because of the variant.

Still wearing my mask indoors and avoiding unvaccinated. I’m concerned.

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID. I could coast here 1-2 years before having to look. I’ve been here for a little under a year. This is my second in house job after 10 years at the same firm. The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.
