As the pandemic seems to be under control in San Diego, it's a different story in other parts of the world.
“It's gonna be difficult because people want to go back to normalcy, but at the same time, you don't want to be naive and say everything's fine and then get hit. So I guess cautious optimism would be good,” said Sandhu.
Sandhu said the most vulnerable are the unvaccinated and immunocompromised. But important to note, the current dominant sub-variant BA.2 is not as infectious as Delta was, Sandhu said. "The other compounding variable could be well we're more protected now as a society. We're more vaccinated and so that now is also keeping rates or detrimental cases low,” said Sandhu. “So as long as we continue to keep on that wagon, I think we should be as best protected in the future."
The endpoint, Sandhu told NBC 7 is making sure the rates are staying low, people are protected so that hospitals are not overrun and continue to provide the care needed.
