you know, obviously with omicron also here and still remains to be seen whether it will overdominate delta, we re in another crisis. we re in the beginning of a surge, and something has to happen. yes, the biden administration is encouraging people to get vaccinated if they haven t been vaccinated, to get boosted if they ve been fully vaccinated. and now we re seeing some states like new york state institute mask mandates. and so what we need to also recognize is that policy is important. we need policies to decrease the spread of the virus while we encourage people to get vaccinate and boosted. it s so hard to think about the fact that a thousand people are still dying every day and somehow people are, i don t know, under some sort of illusion that this is over. and you mentioned something really, really important that i want to sort of flush out a little bit.
