Thank you, as always, YLE. I am curious for risk calculations for people with immunodeficiencies or taking immunosuppressant drugs for their underlying conditions. Even the CDC seems to have backed away from any advice on this topic and direct people to their physicians. Of course we are wearing KN95's when we must go out anywhere, still working from home, getting the additional doses and boosters recommended by the CDC, and try to avoid exposures to anyone as much as possible. But with masking becoming less used by the population in general (even before the new guidance from the CDC when risk levels were more elevated), are we able to see any SAFE "off ramp" for people with immunocompromising conditions? We still don't know even if the vaccine doses and booster(s) have much effect for an individual with immunocompromising conditions. Is there any new news?
I added MM information about immunosuppressed people to the Relative Risk Tool I made in response to questions on this post. www.covidtaser.com/relativerisk. Right now the tool has risk of death given infection given your age and immune condition. It does not have a way to predict how effective vaccines are for different conditions yet, so it lists estimates for unvaccinated people. Hope this is somewhat helpful. There is a toggle button on the tool that turns on the X in a million (MM) estimates.

Yes - this!
