Is that a bit clearer?

Well, I mean the hospitals are full.
The virus is spread through droplets into the respiratory system. If you reach a high enough viral load, you spread it whether you're sick or not. If you're vaccinated, you're unlikely to get sick enough to be hospitalized, and almost certainly won't die. That's good, but...
I don't see how just having big concerts full of vaccinated or unvaccinated people indoors with no masks or social distancing is a good idea. Even vaccinated people can get a high enough viral load to transmit it to someone else.
It seems to me that if every eligible adult got vaccinated then we'd be back to our lives in a relatively normal way. We're trying to NOT kill people who won't take care of themselves and their neighbors at this point. It's really frustrating. I've lost 90% of my income the last two years. To make it up, I've painted on a paint crew. I'm working in a restaurant that is keeping half hours at half capacity. Just trying to eat. Good thing my house is paid off.
