My disaGreement with the op isn’t that we aren’t in an uptick in cases. And that uptick may lead to a spring wave. any idiot can see that. My objection is the op’s belieF that the vaccines are unlikely to work against future variants and that we’re all fucked. Sorry not sorrY that you apparently object to that tiny sliver of optimism.
