Highest-ever number of cases in Europe. Highest-ever virus attack surface.
If you’re not vaccinated, know that the benefit-costs ratio increased since January.
And if you’re vaccinated, your absolute risk didn’t decrease as much as the nominal 80-90% vaccine protection.

Yes. Waves are partially due to seasonality, partially due to immunity fading / variants, and partially due to the virus filling a network fast📈, reaching herd immunity there📉, then finding access to another network📈

In the first tweet, by “the benefit/cost ratio increased”, I meant of vaccination. In other words, it’s more risky not to vaccinate now that it was a year ago, and it’s less risky to vaccinate now than it was in January.

If “we’re going to catch it anyway,” does the absolute risk of catching the virus this year matters?
Yes, it does. At a societal level, to help hospitals work as designed, to keep others safe, and to reduce the risk of variants.
And at a personal level for the reasons below.
