The former is yeah, a valid point... but I kinda feel like we can't let such a small number hold us back either. They're suggesting that it's probably on the order of about 100 people in the entire country. As for young children - while it's true they can't get vaccinated yet (and I'm sure that will change soon), looking at Ministry of Health statistics from our current outbreak, it looks like their risk is not much worse than that for fully-vaccinated adults anyway: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-data-and-statistics/covid-19-case-demographics Bit higher on the case numbers (though amount of exposure has to be considered as a factor here - which does overall murk up the reliability of case numbers), but hospitalization rate seems similar, if not lower. And really, hospitalization rate is really what we're looking at going forward - we expect to see cases, but serious illness should be far less thanks to the vaccine. --- As you change your Trumble, the Trumble on all your posts will be updated to your new Trumble. <cite>Trumble posted [p:959009739] in By the end...
