Or when the covid vaccine becomes a routine childhood vaccine. Of course the politics could prevent that; I wouldn't be surprised to see increasing resistance to all vaccines in the near future.
The trouble with new shutdowns is that the unvaxed will still be gathering, and unmasking, and keeping their businesses open (if they have enough employees to do so) and spreading the virus just as much as they are now. Vaccinated people don't need to shutdown, unvaccinated won't. I'm all for restrictions that work but I have no more patience for Covid theater.

Along the same lines (posted before)

tl/dr: the first head of the CDC was apparently the guy who stepped way TF out of his lane and declared that nothing larger than 5 microns could be airborne. Lots of people built on that error for a long time and some probably still are.

Good one!

I wonder what it is like to be so obtuse you cannot see the difference between a system that produces incremental improvements vs something that is completely effective.
Masks, especially when worn by the infected, reduce transmission. Masks also reduce the viral load the uninfected receive when around the infected. This can be demonstrated using basic physics and experimental tests. Additionally, it is supported by over 100 years of use in the medical community. To refute the demonstrable and accepted protection of masks, we would need a significant and robust study to demonstrate their ineffectiveness. No such study exists.
If masks (and social distancing) do not work, then what is the explanation for the all time low flu infections last year?

Texas governor prohibits countries from requiring masks!
While it appears hospitalizations and deaths from covid are going up.

Re breakthroughs.
There is now a body of data that suggests double vaxxed people are 85-88% protected against symptomatic disease from Delta, and 96% against hospitalization.
But that means 1 in 8 vaccinated people will still get breakthrough cases, "mild" is subjective but vaxxed typically have 40% less virus at peak viremia. So also less likely to transmit as well.Move upside and let the man go through...

We should be clear on the definition of "breakthrough" for everyone's sake. Breakthrough means infection in anyone who has received a full course of a vaccine which includes the 2 weeks after the second dose. However, the bigger challenge wrt covid is that we are using PCR tests and non-rigorous viral load cutoffs to call someone "infected." PCR is exquisitely sensitive which means that many "positives" will exist at a level that is neither contageous nor a health issue (as Mofro indicated).

Washington State University has a vaccine mandate for their students, yet their football coach refuses to get vaccinated. He's the only Pac 12 coach to refuse the vaccine. What a role model!

How is this a problem? If the person is positive (and assuming not an outright false positive), how is that an issue of concern.
They are certainly positive and if not contagious it certainly is a better way to error than to call them negative when they are actually contagious, right?

"Coug'n it!"
Dude should not be allowed to coach at WSU and certainly not set foot on any other campus or travel via airplane
I think it's good to provide context to the "positive" tests for the breakthrough cases because it makes people falsely think the vaccines don't work.Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that
