I certainly agree with this piece from CNN on the cancellation/postponements of some Adele residency performances. But it highlights a salience that COVID is here to stay and that — until a degree of population immunity is achieved through a 85 to 90 percent rate, and major employer vax mandates are much more pervasive — most aspects of living life from day to day will involve planning activities alongside this menacing elephant in the room. The central question is how long the U.S. population can tolerate how much influence this virus has on every single aspect of our lives as vax rates stagnate.
