Keep your mask on, even if you have both shots or just got one of two or the one shot. It is still too dicey to do otherwise.

Some good news - both Pfizer and Moderna expect to have results on trials for children 12 and over in “weeks”. They both have begun testing on children under 12.

Still dicey - after both shots? If that’s the case, what are we even doing then? Masks and more shots and more business closures forever.

I swear to God people really don’t want to go back to normal.

No, vaccinated people might still be able to spread it to unvaccinated people. When everyone has been vaccinated we can open up.
