Look at the current death rates. Requiring a tested vaccine is a reasonable response. Requiring an untested vaccination is not something I see happening. I guess we could get to "you can't do certain things like go to large gatherings" if you don't have the vaccine or evidence of having had it.

Meanwhile, In the US 12.x k people at a minimum died of this in the last 7 days, doubling the previous total deaths. There's also a much higher death rate overall than in the past, many of those must be related to covid-19 [1]. If current trends follw, In another week the 25,000 total current deaths will double, in other words, 25,000 are on track to die of covid in a week. It's not just new york; from that same site, in the last 7 days new york's total went from 7k to 15k total cumulative deaths - new york is still doubling every week, even though they look to slow down.

The deadly statistics are fantastically interesting. NY itself had about 8k net new deaths the last week, the rest of the us had about 10k. Both are doubling on a weekly basis.
