Because it is a pandemic, it is reasonable to presume that variants from other parts of the globe will emerge and enter the US, NH, and even the Lakes Region.
Because those 12 and under cannot be currently vaccinated, we should expect parents and those in direct contact with children - even for short periods of time - to change their habits regardless of government mandates or media.
So we were never really going to vaccinate our way out of this.
My expectation is over time, COVID will react like the Flu. It will have annual variants, that some of us will get vaccinated against, others will take their chances... and tens of thousands of Americans will die from it or associated complications each year going forward.
