Here is a warning relative to the current pandemic that we should all keep in mind The virus attacks us primarily in our lungs. It attacks most critically those with compromised immune systems; these are the aged and those with chronic diseases of the lungs and heart.
When coming in contact with the virus, those who have strong immune systems will develop antibodies to fight and defeat it. Those who have had contact with the virus and suffered only mildly or not at all, should also have these antibodies or antigens in their body that their immune system put together to fight it. Those people who have or are having the prepared vaccine will also develop antigens to fight and defeat the virus.
In all of these cases, these people can still carry the virus and can still spread the virus to others.
The vaccine fights the virus within your body but does not necessarily "kill" all the virus you may carry. There is no reason to think that once getting inoculated, that you can throw your mask away, that you are no risk to others. Na, baby, Na!
The end game, I would say, looks like this: After a large portion of the population has received the vaccination, the occurrence of the disease will diminish. Restrictions will ease but it will not go away. People will continue to come down with the disease for a long time, if not, forever. We will possibly find that we will need to be re-inoculated next year and maybe every year thereafter. The common cold is caused by a corona virus. It is here forever. I'm afraid Covid-19 will be also. Put it on your list along with the flu.
