Right now talking to the infectious specialists at the hospital, they expect to see a slow decline but the virus wont disappear. It's just more manageable to have one person on the brink of needing intubation in a 20 bed community ICU rather than 20 and no beds left.
Vaccines are here, they work, it's time to open. Everyone has covid fatigue.
By the way I mentioned this before. mRNA vaccine, RNA virus. When the virus infects you it basically puts it's RNA into your cells, highjacks them and uses them to replicate and while doing that it kills them. The vaccine puts a part of that RNA into your cells, makes them produces a part of the virus.
So either way some foreign RNA enters your cells. Same thing happens any time you get infected with a virus, any virus. The technology behind mRNA vaccines is fascinating.
