      In case it’s not obvious, many places in the U.S. may run out of PCR testing capacity soon. I don’t think the fact that many vaccinated will test positive has sunk in. Current quarantine/isolation guidelines don’t fit an Omicron wave. I think we have a communication emergency.

      The phrase "fully vaccinated" needed to be aggressively discouraged a few weeks ago but I still see it being used in public health. People are going to be caught off-guard

          I've been listening to NC public radio past few days. Caught a few different moments of anger or disappointment about "fully vaccinated" people getting sick with Omicron. Not sure how they'll make sense of it but I suspect whatever thin trust for public health they had is gone
