Cases are going up, but the key metric to keep an eye on is hospitalizations (acute care and ICU) and deaths. With so many people vaccinated, rising cases should not be that big of a concern as it once was so long as people are not overwhelming hospitals. We can only keep doing this close, reopen, close, reopen thing going for so long before we start to do even greater disastrous damage to things like economics, education, trust in governance and healthcare as well as our own sanity.
