If you are confident OB I'm putting in an order for more N95s to do my shopping in.

I don't believe we have surpassed Israel in the percentage of the population "fully" vaccinated even before you factor in the greater efficacy of their vaccine mix compared to ours.

If I were you I'd be more concerned about the EU banning UK travellers given the prevalence of the delta variant here and - perhaps - even Boris bottling July 19. The original freedom day got canned as Boris thought 6,000 infections a day is too high. If R stays at 1.4 as some predict it is we could be looking at 50,000 a day by July 19.
