I thought you were asking about yourself. Forgive me- I didn't know you were getting the best advice possible. Anything different beyond what I suggested?
My answer for what is next, what should be done is not that of an expert. I can only speculate. I think we're on the right path. Vaccinations are increasing as a result of the fourth wave and people realizing they can't quit and consider this over like they were thinking before Delta hit. I honestly don't know how the battle of thought is going on getting vaxxed or not. As evidenced by many posters here, too many are anti-vax based on any number of ridiculous evaluations of what the facts are. Vaccinations will increase as it becomes a condition of employment, travel, public gatherings, restaurant policies, etc. I'm all for that. To let this thing run its course unimpeded is insane in my book. We're already crossing the line on the capacity of our healthcare system. I do think this fourth wave is slowing down a lot. Hopefully we can get to a manageable level of hospitalizations. As far as I'm concerned, if people want to pay for their stupid choice with a visit to the hospital, damage to their health, and maybe a visit to the morgue, let them. It saddens me that this choice is putting such a burden on our healthcare system and destroying families. Hopefully when more people see the result of stupid, more people will decide to do the right thing, at least for their own sake. These people don't seem to care about anyone else's.
Another thing that needs doing is the rest of the world needs to get vaxxed. This will be endemic if we don't face facts and get this down to a dull roar, like polio and small pox, for example. Fortunately, it seems the rest of the affluent world isn't as anti-vax as we are. The US has now pledged to donate 1.1 billion doses of vaccine to the neediest countries in the world. Hooray for us. We are looking to be donating more than all other countries combined. That's the leadership I grew up seeing this country provide.
