What is interesting from this site is that high vaccination areas still had similar curves but obviously hospitalizations did not sky rocket. That tells me a couple things:

1. The vaccine is great personal protection for current iterations of Covid

2. The virus is still out there and spreading around. What that means, I’m not really sure.

It means that shutdowns should not happen. The only mitigation is a brief delay in non emergent/urgent cases if a hospital fills up due to a Covid surge. Whether or not there is a lockdown, Covid still circulates. At this point people can do as they please. Live their lives how they see fit.

It means, you should get vaccinated as a mitigating factor against hospitalization, but it 100% should be your choice.

It also means we should stop watching cases as a deciding metric as there is nothing we do short of actual shutdowns/lockdowns, that will slow or stop cases.
