Camp 4. Widespread mask and vaccine mandates are unpopular and we’re never going to get enough people to get the vaccine so that herd immunity is achieved. Amid the already long list of vaccines, COVID will probably still be required for military service. Those who work in assisted living facilities and certain medical settings should also be required to get the vaccine every year and wear masks during flu season as they are in close contact with those most at risk of dying from the disease. But for most Americans, including many of those who work for the federal government or as contractors, vaccines and masks should not be mandated. Instead, the pre-existing campaign by the CDC to get people vaccinated with the flu shot during flu-season should be expanded upon to include COVID and receive more funding. In regards to education, schools will have to return to normal, but at-risk teachers should receive an extended number of sick days during COVID season and students who live with at-risk individuals should similarly receive remote-learning exemptions if requested by their parents/guardians.
All of these measures, I think, are pretty reasonable in a post-peak-pandemic America. I’m really tired of those on the extreme ends arguing that we need to have a full lockdown or no restrictions at all.
