So if a vaccinated mom who is nursing gave birth one week ago, how long do you think the baby will have protection before needing her own vaccine? Trying to help my housekeeper understand her choices
Not a problem in Beaufort county, SC. We also opened schools back up as soon as we could. Sorry no piles of bodies or anthing like that, in fact I don't think we have had one child die of co-vid in the whole school system. 22,000 students BTW. I'm sure we would have heard about it. Sorry teachers aren't dropping dead either. We don't wear masks, you don't need one in a school. You have to wear a mask if you go to the court room, which I find ironic? LOL. Only place you need to wear a mask is where the police have brought you to defend yourself from charges. LOL.
Opposite in Richland County SC where mask mandates still in effect in most indoor places including kids need to wear masks in county schools . Apparently the capital, Columbia and the surrounding areas of Richland County have a different mindset.
Because people put off making appointments when they experienced symptoms. Thinking that it wasn’t serious enough.
I’ll let the British NHS answer that question. Potentially up to a year, but likely less.

That’s why it bothers me that some venues are requiring you to be “boosted” to go see a show. That makes no sense to me.
Some of you just don't get it. It's not just about deaths. Its mainly about keeping people out of the hospital to the point they don't overwhelm them.
Here's one set of data from teh CDC. With current Omicron data, 4x reduction in hospitalization with booster vs non-booster.
Lockdowns were supposed to "flatten the curve" so as not to overwhelm our healthcare system. I suppose you might remember us running out of ventilators and ICUs?Let’s go back to July of 2020 and call out all the trolls that said “I can’t believe Disney is re-opening… this is so irresponsible.” Disney never should have closed to begin with.

The Johns Hopkins University study also found that shelter-in-place orders reduced COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%
They graphs are deceiving because they also include unvaccinated in them. If you remove the unvaccinated that's skewing the scale, it would be more obvious.
See above and the graphs @Kevin_W posted while I was typing. Cover up the unvaccinated line and look at just the other two comparisons. The difference is more than dramatic enough that the booster should be required.
Unless I had bad reactions to vaccines, to me this is enough to want me to boost, but that's me. I won't fault people for not doing so, but I think some will agree with you that it's not a lot and others will be the other way. Again I don't push one way or the other. Especially if people have gotten 2 shots to begin with. Though with my elderly dad I feel better that he has since he still hangs with friends relatively regularly.
Among the vaccinated, boosting reduces hospitalization 4-6 times as much as not being boosted.
Despite the sheer number of cases of omicron, my state still stayed below the hospitalization peaks from previous waves. Thank you vaccines and thanks for the virus not being as severe.
I find that alarming. I get the desire to be ready when the data comes, but we're talking about injecting small children. This isn't testing possible vaccines and ramping up production ahead of time to be ready to inject. What you describe is injecting small children ahead of time hoping they prove the 3rd dose makes it successful.
I judged by my age, (58) and the fact that I'll be in a higher risk area - WDW - in March.
