Our kids are in the same class and this woman was almost in tears every time I talked to her last year at the height of COVID.

I saw her last night because our kids are in the same class and the school decided to start Christmas Break early and cancel the last two days of school and she was saying it was bullshit.

That is, COVID cases may be up but ICU Hospitalizations are not up. Among the vaccinated, testing positive for COVID means a cold and not necessarily a bad cold for most.

That's anecdotal (and of course fits neatly with my perspective) but it does seem like we can't regard this outbreak the same as the outbreak we saw last year.
