      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.

      What are the ways you see the guidelines needing to change?

      They have a lot of assumptions that likely no longer hold. I’m kind of hoping somebody in charge is about to roll out the new plan?

          I think if you tighten the rules you will get very low compliance

          The question I can't get past is; is there a real issue for boosted people? It doesn't sound like it. So why are we treating this in the media like it's 2020? I get it with the hospitals and the people working there but what is the end game here? Darwin needs to win.

          Because only about 16% of the country has gotten a booster, and we will not be able to increase that number fast enough to prevent a bad surge/many people don’t think they need a booster and are unwittingly at greater risk than they think for contracting/spreading.

          I wouldn’t hold my breath. Where are the antivirals? What about increased testing capacity? Silence. Just imagine the outrage and uproar if this silence and poor planning was happening under the prior administration. Where’s the US press?

          Me too. Trying to convince my boomer parents to not go to the grocery store multiple times a day and all I’m met with is ‘I’m triple vaxed’ every time.

          Haven’t we been hoping that somebody in charge was about to roll out a new plan since the start? 😔
