For dentist and such I go to my home town in MA. 87% vaccination rate (and that was in June). My town and the next town over are the two highest in the state. And MA is one of the higher the country. I hunker down when in NH.
For haircuts I bought a Flowbee, works great
There was a really interesting article in The NY Times.
Basically your odds of infection go something like this:
In a high vaccinated location and you are vaccinated it’s about 1 in 10,000
In a low vaccinated location and you are vaccinated it’s about 1 in 5,000
Now for unvaccinated (you are 10x more likely to get infected)
In a high vaccinated location and you are unvaccinated it drops to 1 in 1,000
In a low vaccinated location and you are unvaccinated it drops to 1 in 500
Here’s the kicker, that lot of stats don’t mention.
Those odds are your risk PER DAY.
Say we continue at this rate for another year. Entirely possible.
Divide all those odds by 365.
If you are in a low vaccinated location, not vaccinated over a years time, your odds drop to 1 in 1.4
These are all averages based on actual stats today.
If you never go out your odds are much better of course.
