Rightwqriter, actually this “wave” is very mild because of the vaccinations. The number of serious cases is stable at a mere 23-26. The positive test rate is less than 1%. Yesterday, the number of total cases dipped to 295 after being over 300 for a couple of days. No one has died in nine days. The mask mandate is only indoors (and there have been no reports of fines being handed out so either everyone is complying or the police are not rushing to enforce it) and there is no talk of a lockdown. COVID mutations will probably continue to be around but they will be no worse, and maybe not as bad, as flu viruses. The more people are vaccinated the less severe COVID will be.
