Thread: Local news on Covid 19

An interesting story appeared in the local news about an outbreak of Covid 19 in an old folks home here. Basically it seems to indicate that even one dose may lessen the severity of infection as most who tested positive were asymptomatic shortly after the first dose. While the Covid 19 was still spreading in the facility nobody needed to go to the hospital for treatment or be put on a ventilator.

I think it also points out that even after having a second dose those immunised should continue with all the usual Covid 19 precautions as they may still be able to spread the infection. Looks like it will not be until some time after the population of a country has enough people vaccinated to reach herd immunity, 80%?, will/should the usual precautions be lifted. That won't make a lot of people happy.
