What can one do about friends and relatives that have gone down this rabbit hole? Is there any way back?
I've seen friends succumb to various conspiracy theories over the years, but things seem to be coming to a head recently.

Id say the vaccine for covid has spread out of tinhattery into a wider more historically sane audience.
Im having conversations with educated people in senior positions who are wary of it.
You'll find a very large percentage will not have it , at least until it proves to be safe after extensive rollout.

How old is she?My wife is actually thinking about binning teaching for a while, at the end of the first term, down to the way they are handling it. Try and get 12 5 year olds to social distance, good luck with that.
A shame, she absolutely loves her job.
I don't get this:
Schools 'must come before pubs and restaurants in future'

They say kids aren't a major infection vector - but why the fuck not?
So, they don't get ill from it. That's great - loads of dead kids would have the country up in arms. But they're still human animals and they won't be sticking to social distancing - so 30 of thrm, packed into tight spaces? How the fuck aren't schools a hotbed of transmission?

It's about your risk appetite and, unlike @Job, I'd worry about being a spreader rather than the risk to myself.How are you guys determining if it's safe to go on a trip? I'm looking at a short holiday within NY state. Corona cases are flat, at about 1% of tests being positive day on day, for both my current location, and potential destination
It's about your risk appetite and, unlike @Job, I'd worry about being a spreader rather than the risk to myself.
If you can keep social distancing as best you can and are fastidious in hand washing, then you're probably OK, IMO.
I definitely wouldn't go into a city right now. But then, I think there's barely any reason to do that anyway
If these figures are true I would very much like the scheme immediately scrapping, a clawback of taxpayer money and prosecutions.
