We severely curtailed our usual social activities about 20 mins after the crap hit the fan, early 2020.

Other than seeing our adult Kidz/Granddaughter several times, chasing the ball 3 days a week, (separately with our own gender groups!), and occasional slight social stuff but being very cautions, we haven't done much of the usual.

Annual 'vacay' like trips have been cancelled, rebooked, cancelled again; not worth the hassle, esp over oceans/big buck biz class flights that get tossed around like bus routes), a different protocol for almost each county, daily changes to 'what', etc.

NEway, waiting for the dust to settle, but at 74, 'wait until next year' rings a bit hollow.
GL, mD

Amen.

Hunkered down.

The above is pretty important.
So the vaccine will get us back to normal? Once 100% get the shot and the boosters every six months till the overlap is at 100%?
The vaccine is effective after 6 months. The reason for the booster is to insure longer term full effectiveness. We might need another booster only time will tell. As the virus mutates it is likely at least a variant of the current vaccine will be necessary, just as is the case with the flu vaccine that is modified, hopefully correctly projecting what mutation the virus will make annually. Most of the small percent of crossover cases were COVID 19 cases. COVID 19 has a much higher infection rate and was not in existence when the vaccine became available. While the vaccine is effective against the variant, because of the high infection rate of the Delta mutation, maintaining a maximum level has become more important.

Since the effectiveness has shown to be less and the percentage of breakthrough cases in the non-familial study I posted hit such a huge percentage..... let's just say it doesn't look effective compared to the claims.

Again, I can't get to the study. What is the source of the study.? What I have read from infectious disease experts is there is insufficient evidence to draw an iron clad conclusion and that current studies have shown the percentage of breakthrough cases to be very low. In addition, the symptoms are not as severe for those that have been vaccinated, and only .01% required hospitalization.

Why is it that antibodies from previous infection is totally discounted, when it has shown to have a stronger and broader response?
The same is true of antibody testing. Not enough information to draw a firm conclusion. The current recommendation is to get vaccinated even if you have had the virus. One scientific study recorded only 11% of those tested showed evidence of antibodies.

The recommendations of the CDC and WHO have been revised as studies learned more. It is easy to view that as they don't know what they are doing. In April they said xxx and now they are saying yyy. That is because the virus was completely new and later mutated. As more was learned the most effective treatment and protection required revision.

Supply chains were not good enough to timely fix the problem. FYI, in many countries the price of gas and percent of inflation are as high or higher than in the US.

Fuel prices have increased in part because of an inflated price per barrel of oil. There are thousands of approved oil leases that have not been activated for drilling in the US. It's unlikely they will be utilized. Overseas suppliers set the price of oil by controlling production. They have the capacity to increase production which would lower the price of gas over time but have not done so thus far.

Many US companies are showing improvements in profit margins. It very unlikely it is because of cost reductions. Most likely it is because of increasing prices more than the inflation of their cost of goods.

I think the way Covid was collectively handled around the world is the culprit. That doesn't mean it should have been handled differently anywhere.

Because of the how long the inflation equation takes to reach the general public it takes a considerable amount of time to ease. it is never a quick fix. I don't think anybody knows for sure, regardless of their expertise, how much of the 'blame' should go to Trump or Biden. It takes a long time for all pieces to fall in place to be where we are.

This is the appropriate place for this post. This is the current sitting 46th president.

It's not your responsibility or authority to determine what posts are appropriately placed. The OP reserves that right. I posted my comment where I intended. Please delete your post.
