Get vaxxed, already, so we can all get back to normal

It’s simple, really: If you want life to return to normal, get vaccinated.

We’ve urged the lifting of restrictions such as mask mandates for the vaccinated on the subway, but lots of others are urging the opposite — including renewed indoor-masking mandates. And if the panic over the Delta variant continues, they could get their way. The past week saw an average of 32,387 new US cases reported each day — more than double the rolling average of 10 days before, per a Wall Street Journal analysis of Johns Hopkins data.
