i live in nh, we have been almost as open as fl since summer 2020. this spring we have holy water in the fonts. i suggest the seasonal effect on those sun belt states llike ms and al who are having a surge, rather than default to vaccines.

one observation: uk has seen dlata a lot longer than us (?) and in june their reports had alpha way ahead in #s.

thank you for what you do, my kids were af brats for a few years then i went reserve.

Great article as usual, Craig. I am glad that restrictions are (finally) pretty minimal for me right now, but two concerns loom:

- Will schools be fully open in the fall? Here in Seattle they have been overly paranoid compared to other parts of the country which were fully open in the spring.

- It's sad to see friends and family who are still incredibly shell shocked and paranoid despite being fully vaccinated. I am still seeing people walking around the neighborhood, alone, fully masked. What?! The same people who shamed anti-maskers and told them to "trust the science" now do not trust the science saying it's safe to get back to normal life.

Yeah, I think we underestimate how much Covid has completely shattered even very intelligent people's ability to objectively look at data and assess risks accordingly.

Well said. Well written. Personally loved the theme and per usual, gained perspective on life.
