And I wholeheartedly agree with you about the stats of 95-75% effectiveness is NOT in relation to the New Variants. (Do we even HAVE those numbers yet? I have no idea where to even look)

I am just going to try and stay inside and order online when I can... It's available so yeah why not!?
If I *do* decide to go anywhere I mask up. I dont mask at work unless there's mor people inj the lobby... but usually it's only like 2-4 people and they are masked and I am distanced bahind my counter and plexiglass. So I feel pretty good at work actually... I just dont wanna get too comnfortable, thats for sure. and as more LARGE gatherings happen...expecially like haloween, holiday events ... I think it's best to just assume everyone is carrying something!
