What is UPS waiting for?

Immunity to that particular narrow slice of the coronavirus family, sure. But that sort of immunity is pretty useless.

You can be immune to a thing that changes by a fraction of a percent and then reinfects. The fact that you were "immune" to the old strain is irrelevant.

Thank you for pointing out why the flu vaccine is so ineffective. You can get reinfected with the flu every single year of your life, with vaccination.

So by reinfected, you really mean get sick with another strain. According to one article I read, they have identified 8 strains. The issue, as I understand it, is that whatever genes change have to change the shape of the receptors on the virus in order for the antibodies to not be effective from one strain to the next.

Yeah from what I’ve heard it’s mutating rather slowly and very minor mutations.

Trump said cover your face when your outside today. If your management teams repeat that to you, they are just following instructions from the clueless top...I’m sure that will help
