If the vaccine doesn't stop you from spreading the virus, then what happens to those people who are unable to have the vaccine? If it keeps mutating every year, then we'll never achieve herd immunity, and unvaccinated people will always be vulnerable to catching it?
Or is the plan that this is inevitable, but there will be fewer cases & therefore less pressure on the health services? Like flu, maybe.
Those must at risk need to continue to take more precautions than the healthy majority, just as they should have been doing pre Covid.
Norovirus regularly spreads through hospital wards and cruise ships and large (usually all inclusive) hotels. The most vulnerable can protect themselves (if they wish) by avoiding cruises and all inclusive hotels.
My OH is ECV due to cancer. When he goes to hospital, even pre covid, he was very careful, even moreso now. As an in-patient, he takes anti-bac wipes to wipe down the bedside cupboard, chair and table. As a day patient, he takes his own drink/snack, again wipes down the chair, using handgel after using the loo, etc, and removes/washes his outer clothes as soon as he gets home. He does that anyway, before covid, as he's got low immunity. Since diagnosis, we now avoid cruises and big hotels.
I think people (I hope anyway), will be more aware of hygiene and cleanliness as a usefull side effect of the covid year. Just because you've been vaccinated for covid doesn't mean you won't catch it, nor all the other diseases that are still out there. The vulnerable and "worried well" are free to take whatever precautions they need to take to feel safer, but nothing is ever 100% safe, so, unfortunately, people will continue to die from covid, just as they do from flu or norovirus, but hopefully in small enough numbers.
