(34,066 posts)it would have gone over the heads of most of the folks here (from having tried in vain to explain COVID math to a number of folks).
I would only add that not only should we monitor, we also need for people who are vaccinated to wear masks indoors, to assume symptoms that might be a cold are actually COVID (and test).
You are far more likely to be asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms if you are vaccinated - and when those of us who are vaccinated act as if we can't possibly have COVID, we become the COVID version of typhoid Mary.
Fortunately, my co-worker who thought she had a cold is a rule-follower. She had COVID and, but for her natural inclination to follow the rules would have exposed the entire incoming class at our school. (She was so convinced that it was a cold that she announced via zoom to the class that she had a cold, but was told she was not allowed to come back until she tested negative.)
