The US is in an "in-between" place. Vaccination substantially reduces #covid19 risk but doesn't eliminate it. There isn't one right answer & people will make different choices from one another.
Here are 3 ways to think about which activities to resume🧵: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

For vaccinated people, consider three factors when deciding which activities to bring back to your lives:
1) Medical risk of your household
2) Personal risk tolerance (more on this soon)
3) Risk of specific activities
1) Medical risk of your household
2) Personal risk tolerance (more on this soon)
3) Risk of specific activities
Risk tolerance is a key point. People will have wildly different interpretations of the same statistics. Some want to keep hunkering down. Others will decide that once vaccinated, they can take off their masks and return to pre-pandemic normal. Most are somewhere in between.
These are all reasonable decisions. We shouldn’t mock the cautious for taking things at their own pace, nor should we condemn those who engage in activities we may not do ourselves.
Vaccinated people pose very little threat; our energy is better spent increasing vaccine uptake.
