Today, June 15 marks the reopening of the state of California! California has done well in the past few months with one of the highest vaccinated rates in the nation and one of the lowest cases per capita in the nation. So there was already confidence before this official date arriving.
But I don't think California or any other state is out of the woods yet. This loosening of restrictions may still have come too soon. Hopefully not like last year when California was doing so well but once the restriction was lifted, the big surge occurred. I think it won't be so bad this time because about half of the population in the state has been fully vaccinated. But we are nowhere near herd immunity and the vaccinated rates is dropping despite the prize gimmicks.
If we don't reach herd immunity by the fall, a surge may occur with the more contagious variant getting out of control. But even if we achieve 80% fully vaccinated in California, other states may not reach that level and if many people travel to places like Disneyland, we still can get a surge. So we are not out of the woods yet and those who have not been vaccinated need to do that ASAP.
