    If you have been vaccinated, then the current strains are about as deadly as the flu. We still need to keep ready for new strains and for sudden surges that can quickly overwhelm a single location’s health care capacity. This is true of influenza as well, a new strain hitting a small contained community can cause issues.

      Absolutely. That’s what I was talking about. We keep on monitoring covid like the flu-variants, but we don’t change our lives for covid any more than we do for the common flu.
