LOL, yes people eat hot dogs and at McDonalds, but are suddenly concerned about what is in the vaccine?
Over half the engineering department where I work is anti mask and anti vax. Between that and posting political stuff all over the office. Even after watching one of our shop guys get seriously hospitalized for it for over a week. Took him months to feel close to normal again.
I don’t wish for anyone to die, but I kinda hope the new variant knocks one of them down enough to change their mind.
I will not be surprised if the future variants make the vaccine ineffective. Then there will have to be a new vaccine, which requires more testing, etc. I don't think global bureaucracies can keep ahead of the virus.
Ours are going but but not crazy. Over all PAs vaccination rates are fairly high. But our friend who is an intensive care RN says they are seeing a few cases in vaccinated peopleAnyone else seeing their states' covid numbers spiraling out of control? Even here in the most northeastern part of the US we are having a "surge". It doesn't look the same as it would in a city, but the case rate doubled here in the last week. It's almost triple what it was two weeks ago.
The vaccines are about 95% effective with the two shot Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, but that still leaves about 5% that will get infected, albeit most not as seriously. However, 5% of a town of 10,000 is still 500 people.Ours are going but but not crazy. Over all PAs vaccination rates are fairly high.

The delta variant is much more contagious. Watching it spread is pretty much as predicted. This is hard on medical people. It's like knowing an avoidable train wreck is going to occur and then watching it happen. This time it is infecting a lot more people in the 20, 30 and 40 yr old ranges. States with relatively low vaccination rates are getting hit the hardest. 40% of the cases are in FL, AK, MO and NV. One in 5 cases in the country are now in Florida.Anyone else seeing their states' covid numbers spiraling out of control? Even here in the most northeastern part of the US we are having a "surge".

Yes, that is the telling metric. Even some reinfection cases have been totally mild.Yes, but one should take 5% of "those exposed".
And given the universal prevention of serious symptoms for vaccinated people (hospital care seems not needed), it may be best to track hospital admissions as a number for how bad the situation is, rather than total infections?
We have four colleges not far from us, when they come back, the cases should go up even more. It's looks like it will be another long winter Covid wise.Same here, particularly in Latino communities that make up the majority of the farm workers in the state.
I agree completelyYes, unless colleges mandate vaccinations for on campus presence.
I hope the (justified) approval for vaccination of 2-12 year olds comes soon; with the more contagious delta variant and the (here) parental push for no-mask in-classroom education, I'm concerned about my kids when they go back to school...
