I'm glad there are sane people like you Dustin and you brower and others here. Cases are still leveling off here in CA, and the Delta variant has not taken over to any greater degree here in Santa Clara County yet. But with anti-vaxxers and those programmed to be hesitant to get vaccinated out there, we can't be totally sure that covid will not surge again. Some of the red and purple states with large pockets of mostly-rural and exurban trumpers are now getting the most new cases. Something like 37% of the white and hispanic people in Santa Clara County (these 2 groups are just less than 2/3 of our population) are still not fully vaccinated, and the pace of vaccinations is slow. Covid may be with us forever, just like the flu is still with us after 1918. Only 10% of the world is vaccinated, and that needs to be ramped up a lot faster now. Luckily the India surge (from which the Delta variant developed) is about 1/10th of what it was 2 months ago, while Brazil is still the same disaster area that it was for the past year. Best wishes, and stay safe guys.
