My sense is that EAs in general have not been in the “strict lockdown” mode, trying to do some more careful tradeoffs to allow for things like EAGs. This struck me as.. reasonable-ish at the time, (even up through delta). But if Omicron has a similar long-covid story, this suggests that the upcoming EAGs may not be a good idea in person.
Thank you for this. I’d say prior to reading this I was around 70% that for someone recently vaccinated or boosted Omicron isn’t really worth worrying about, and getting Omicron at some point might even be +EV, due to cross immunity effect. I’d say now I’m around.. 45% on this?
