Our current house rules are: * Fully vaccinated people are “invisible”, at least in small groups—they can come over and you can interact with them indoors freely. * Gatherings where EVERY person is at least 2 weeks past the first dose, and it’s small enough to verify this, are fine.
The rationale for rule #2 is: the numbers I’ve seen seem to roughly suggest that a fully vaccinated person interacting with an unvaccinated person has about the same transmission risk (~5%) as two people who are both two weeks past the first dose (20% * 20%).
Sticking with outdoor socialization for now, especially with people you don’t know or can’t verify the vaccine status of, seems like a pretty good idea. I expect we’ll need to have more conversations about this once larger indoor gatherings seem like they might make sense.
