super fast PCR testing in SE raleigh(fast results)

This vaccine was not purported to eliminate covid - there is nothing that will. We are still dealing with a coronavirus from the late 19th century in the form of a common cold (it has mutated over time) and the flu hits 60mm people a year.

I think setting the expectation that we will be covid free if we "are careful" and "wear masks" isn't setting the appropriate tone. IMO.

The vaccine is doing what it was designed to do - stop the vast vast vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths. After everyone has the option (and availability) there is no reason to continue to keep any redirections. Of course, everyone has their own personal limitations and some will choose to hibernate or remain socially distant into the future.
