DU Poll: Is it time we accept Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives

27. Generally agree

The problem with the poll is that "moving on" was not clearly defined.

I follow the science to determine how much risk I take as a fully vaccinated and boosted individual.

The very first thing I do before going to visit family for example (who are all vaccinated and boosted) is to have a look at the local transmission rates, the CDC info below and local transmission/death rates.

At the Omicron peak I was taking no chances, even visiting within my family. Now that the case rate is in rapid decline (6X lower than the peak) and approaching the levels we had last summer, I am visiting my vaxxed/boosted family members more frequently. S

In public setting I will continue to mask with a KN95 until Covid is declared endemic.

No matter what you do, it's impossible to have ZERO risk, we are all managing the risk in the most rational way we can.
