To the editor:
The problem is everyone is still celebrating, but they don’t really know what they are celebrating. Yes we’re doing much better, but what is weather forecast with delta on horizon, well within our radar scope – if they are watching. Are they? Would they tell us? Delta may follow this scenario, it’s going to get rampant among the unvaccinated. This will increase as well breakthough cases. While most will survive, some breakthrough cases will die. It is unknown as to how Covid will affect children, but it is really trending toward affecting the young.
With that many cases nationally, it could be that in Vermont a new variant may surface that the vaccine will not protect against. It will take at least three months to know this statistically. That puts us at end of summer, and into the new school year.
Vermont went to far in what they let go of, and it could cost us very dearly. When the ideal dream becomes the reality, you know something bad is going to happen. On a side note, look for a hurricane to strike the northeast this year.
