Still a chance to tweak reopeningThe final destination is ultimately the same, but the path to endemicity will vary from country to country. These factors combined left the government no choice but to move toward reopening in a much more cautious manner -- so cautious that it risks losing out on the benefits it wanted to reap from the reopening. Moving forward, the government has to understand that living with Covid-19 will require much more intervention on its part. Even before reopening, certain businesses have begun testing their employees as part of the requirement to reopen. Right now, schools can't resume in-person instruction until 85% of their staff and students are vaccinated.
