I found these articles from Science interesting
8/4  "What does the Delta variant have in store for the US? We asked coronavirus experts"
Reactions and behavior are changing too fast to make good predictions.

8/5  "A giant trial of COVID-19 treatments is restarting.  Here are the drugs it's betting on"


An issue with COVID is that we are still early in its evolution.  There are uncountable numbers of variants that are possible.  (I haven't heard anyone doing massive simulations to detect dangerous variants before nature does.) The rest of our lives may be spent fending off variants every year or so.   It seems people, perhaps with government & media encouragement, think this is a one-time blip, and they can't be bothered with it interfering with sports & entertainment & dining out.

I like your comment about COVID still being early in its evolution.   Delta . . . now I hear about Lambda . . . with more to come while hopefully vaccine boosters are tweaked in a a race between science and evolution.
