It's V-V Day! Or is it?

It’s true that 2021 has been a marked improvement over 2020 in the U.S. But maybe the champagne flutes are out a little too early. The country likely won’t meet President Joe Biden’s goal of getting 70 percent of adults vaccinated by July 4, and theThere’s also yet another new, more contagious variant spreading across the country.

To decide whether it’s time to ask the coronavirus to concede defeat on the deck of the USS Harry S Truman, Nightly called two of our go-to experts and asked them the same questions, separately, about everything from variants and vaccines to what Covid may look like next winter. This conversation has been edited.

The Delta variant is more contagious and will likely find it easy to infect unvaccinated individuals who have no prior immunity from natural infection. But it depends upon who these individuals are. Are they high-risk for severe consequences? Remember, even in the face of the Delta variant, if the high-risk population is fully vaccinated or has immunity, you’re not likely to see an increase in deaths reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic.

And if you look at Marc Lipsitch’s models from Harvard, way back in the early part of the pandemic, he predicted annual January peaks, and he was certainly right about the last one. And that may be how this works — we’ll continue to see surges and cases at different times of the year, in different parts of the country, until everybody’s either been vaccinated or infected.

It’s indeed worthy to celebrate to have some form of normal-ish kind of life! Just hope more and more people get vaccinated so we can all go back to the “real” normal.

What? No missiles or tanks?

Waaaaa No tanks, rockets & military parade in washington.............Guess Trump is not actually running the usa from mar-a-largo ehhhhhhh trumpers

and not a word about the gift Trump gave Biden by expediting the development of the vaccine that made the “independence from virus” possible.
