Hoo Boy- the vax vs. unvaxed debate once again. Please don’t continue and escalate as the words and feelings only get ‘uglier’ to no avail.
Yes but not as sick as unvaxxed.study I saw says jabbed have same viral loads as reckless refusers. :thinking1:

Garykool81, I've been looking for those numbers from solid data sources but not finding it easy to find. I'm not doubting the truth of it, but would love a pointer to a good study or report if you have one. The thing that makes it not easy to compare is if only older people in a community are vax'ed then they may actually hospitalized at a greater rate than unvaxed young people who pretty much have no problem with Covid anyway.
Didier, of course vaccinated people can be spreaders as well. All too often vaccinated people think they are invincible and drop all their social distancing behaviors. We could do the math and say if a vaxed person is 1/10th as likely to catch the virus but behave in a way that is 10X riskier than an unvaxed person then the two people are equally dangerous to the community. What we need is 3 months of vaxing AND social distancing. Or at this point I'd be ok with 3 months of hugs and kisses for all and get the herd immunity up at whatever cost. Either way we would have the numbers down by Christmas.
"(pessimistically thinking it would be February 2023). Now, with the current outbreaks 2023 doesn't look good and we are not sure we will ever step foot on the island again"
Wow. Feb 2023 (a year and a half from now) "not looking good" is indeed somewhat pessimistic. Never again is a whole other level...
I hope you do get back some day soon

Je te l'avais dit? :biglaugh:
