Was reading this post and was absolutely terrified. It's gonna be bad.
Take away is that current lock downs are basically useless against the new strain as it has mutated enough to be more transmissible thru/around mask. Vaccines are still likely to work, and its not more deadly (seems like), but just going to blow thru our preventive measures like nothing.
Reposting because the first post didn't get enough traction and I need people to commiserate with me. Pulled out the money shot image, because I know libs don't read .
Folks I know that travelled for the holidays were super cautious ahead of going to see family (isolating upon arrival etc), but upon returning haven’t isolated or quarantined at all. Back to normal covid precautions immediately. Based on that, the new variant circulating and that I’m prone to overthinking, I fear it’s gonna get really messy from next week onwards I think, 2 weeks after the end of holiday travel.
