This is really well laid out, @fredrikaa. Kudos! You are providing facts, not trying to sway anyone to a particular point of view or slamming anyone for their approach to this very complex worldwide problem.
I hope you’re right that this is the beginning of the end of this mess. The data really does seem to indicate that we ca start being hopeful that the pandemic is getting to endemic phase. That will be life altering! It will help businesses in retail, travel and hospitality to start opening with confidence.
I find it sad how politicized this whole pandemic has become.
No kidding. If there was anything that prevented counties, communities, businesses, healthcare systems and individuals from navigating this horrid ordeal with grace, it is the idiotic stance of right/left politicians.
