Why It’s Not Time To Get Lax About COVID-19
Paying a visit to grandma
The CDC reports that eight out of 10 reported COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. have been adults ages 65 and up. This group is very vulnerable. Your loved ones in this age group may also be the ones you’re most eager to see once they get the vaccine, as you’ve (hopefully) stayed away from them throughout this pandemic. But, as previously stated, little is still known about the effectiveness of the vaccine, or about one’s ability to be re-infected. Translation: it’s not time to go hug grandma without a mask on in an enclosed space. Even if she has been vaccinated.
