Strange. They must not have Facebook, where the truth for all such matters is found.

CoVID-19
Our county is up there with Alabama and you better believe every one of them was at Walmart without a mask the day they lifted the mandate.
Just praying for natural selection to do it's thing.

I am 100% OK with this except that my kids cannot yet be vaccinated. Once they can be, then let self-selection reign.View attachment 162469

likewise. we still wear masks when we go in public places (stores and such) as a result.
I have stopped when I go shopping (fully vaxxed with moderna here), but when I take the kids along, we all wear masks.
Work is mask free at this point...

The UK has vaccination rates a fair bit higher than the US. I think we should expect something like this but worse.
The good news is that if you are vaccinated you are much less likely to get fucked up by Covid.

Still avoiding people for the most part and if I do need to go indoors somewhere I'm in an N95.
Just got an email reminder that the oncologist office I'm visiting again tomorrow is still requiring masks. Masks are still mandatory when ever accessing the aircraft per policy of pretty much every airline still flying. I'm super tempted to start wearing my mask again when in public, even though everyone in the house is fully vaccinated.
1000+ new cases per day with a positivity test rate of 7% in NC. Fuckity fuck fuck !!
And now Canada decides it is the time to open the borders to the USA. Madness.
Important fix.
Has it ever been determined if vaccinated folks can be transmissible, asymptomatic?
From the weather.com app. I *believe* that this is for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That graph isn't encouraging.
Yes. Your odds of getting infected, being symptomatic or getting really sick are just a hell of a lot better.
There isn't a lot of data at this point, and the percentages vary a lot by study but lets just say that if you are vaccinated you are 60% less likely to get infected from an exposure than a non-vaccinated person. If you are vaccinated and get infected you are 60% less likely to show symptoms and are like 90% less likely to have severe symptoms. *Or something like that.
The main purpose of the vaccine isn't to protect the person, but to stop the spread, we failed there despite having the resources. However, as a relatively young and healthy person you are fairly well protected. Perhaps if you are vaccinated it truly is like "just the flu".
*numbers are gross approximations from the memory of a non expert who read some stuff (we should reach out to @Colonel Angus to see if we are even qualified to have this discussion)
Dunno. Looks like a pretty nice profile for a sweet sender.
We need to start publishing those charts for vaccinated and vaccinated populations seperately.
As I understand it the Delta variant has evolved to better elude our antibody response and therefor is more likely to infect a vaccinated person or someone previously infected. However antibodies are just one way the immune system fights off the infection. T-Cells are there to fight off the infection once is settles in, that still seems to work the same way with Delta.

Antibodies fight off the new coronavirus, but what do T cells do?
In this Special Feature article, we explain what T cells are, their role in COVID-19, and how scientists are studying them.

Found out Sunday that my 31 year old brother (with bad lungs that send him to the ER 1-2 times a year with pneumonia) and his wife both have Covid. Neither chose to get vaccinated in spite of my brother being in an elevated risk category.
I never thought of my brother as an anti-vax'er or a particularly dumb individual but somehow he was persuaded to wait on the vaccine and is now paying the price. I now wish I had done my brotherly duty and made him feel like a dumbass more frequently than I did, but we are where we are.
Hoping for a rapid recovery without long-term symptoms.

I guess my question was more in regards to places like Canaderp opening up to "vaccinated people". It seems to this total layman, that if a disease is still transmissible via a person regardless of vaccination or illness status, it would behoove a country to keep its lower neighbor locked down in it's own uneducated, mouth breathing cesspool.
True, but they will be filtering out a large percentage of the mouth breathers. But yeah, any travel increases the risk of spreading.
this is what i don't understand more than just being anti-vax. the wait and see approach? waiting for what? an improved vaccine? vaccine 2.0? that's not how it works. if there were going to be widespread adverse reactions, we would have seen them by now. the only realistic reason they'd change the formulation at this point would be to combat reduced efficacy in the event of viral mutations that it proved less effective against (doesn't seem we're at that point with the delta variant, but further evolution would push things in that direction).
‘I’m sorry, but it’s too late’: Alabama doctor tells unvaccinated, dying COVID patients
“And now all you really see is their fear and their regret. And even though I may walk into the room thinking, ‘Okay, this is your fault, you did this to yourself,’ when I leave the room, I just see a person that's really suffering, and that is so regretful for the choice that they made.”

That's a bummer dude. My Brother was not only high risk due to health issues, but married to an ER nurse. He was practically begging to get vaccinated.
Hope your brother pulls through so you can kick his ass afterwards.

Not quite the same, but this article compares number of the gen pop vs unvaccinated. One could try to extrapolate the infection rate for vaccinated based on this but it is a pain. A few quick calculations from a few data points says that very few cases are from the vaccinated. However I would assume that a vaccinated person isn't very likely to get tested without showing symptoms.
I don't understand a lick of this thread, but it sounds like Covid "boosters" will be the new normal as they fine-tune vaccination protocols in response to new variants...

I'd say I don't get it, but coming from you, maybe that's okay.
It’s a “lick of this thread” picture.I'd say I don't get it, but coming from you, maybe that's okay.
The secret is how obvious it is.
Maxon Crumb says hold my twine
For clarification, travel to Canada requires both vaccination and a negative pcr test.
I don't know but I suspect it's Ryan Styles.
Not that it maters as Twine is no longer on your side, some
Then it will start over with Covid-21, Alpha type.
Maybe it’ll be every four years like the Olympics.
3/4 fully vaxxed here (youngest is only 9 so no vax for her yet) but I wear my mask when she's with me (we pinky promised) and whenever we go out of our usual areas or when our usual spots are more crowded (track season). Masks still at work whenever inside with the kids though and it's probably going to be the same in the fall at school from the sounds of the news.
