I wonder in the case of the rest home, they have potentially been vaccinated for some time, and the efficacy of the vaccine does die off significantly within 6 months. Maybe time for that booster shot roll out.Indeed, and just another reason for the antivaxxers or the hestitant, to not vaccinate.
It feels a little like it's starting to get a bit out of control, and we arn't moving fast enough.
I do sometimes think that maybe we should just open up everything, and let the chips fall where they may. Then again.....a dumb idea, because we will undoubtedly see deaths much soon that we would wish. I don't envy the powers that be, at all.
