Well, here's where we have the public health emergency and crisis management people get involved..
We don't know what the future will bring. If the numbers continue to drop and, as you said, only those who rolled snake-eyes get infected, and the hospitals don't get over-run, we may see all that go by the wayside.
I am optimistic enough to feel that we are now looking in the rear view mirror on this. Or, rather, vaccinated people are as the chance of a vaccinated person getting an infection is now 9000:180 MILLION, according to the news last night. And the majority of those actually were infected prior to getting the vaccine, so the number is far less.
And, Europe is now opening up to fully vaccinated Americans and I'm booking a flight to get a bratwurst soon!
