Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Everyone has to now wear a mask at work. So ridiculous

 

Some of your posts i think are satirical others make me think you are insane. I honestly am not sure what the difference is.

 

Delta seems to have a much higher viral load than other variants. So vaccinated people who do become infected with delta may transmit delta far more readily than they would’ve other variants. They don’t have higher viral load than unvaccinated.

 

While I don't think reading too hot kills tens of thousands, I suspect Dadx's posting has probably caused brain damage to at least dozens.

 

LOL! When the battshit fruitcakes in the nuthouse call you crazy...

...you'd actually have to be battshit, to take offense or do anything more than chuckle.

 

The Sun

SoCal man who mocked vaccines playing on Jay-Z's 99 problems, died from covid. His doctor, completely demoralized.

Not posting to mock him, but like the other stories, it's to drive home that remaining unvaxxed is to be tempting fate for no good reason.

 

COVID-19 in Los Angeles: Over 25% of cases are fully vaccinated people | Fox News
LOS ANGELES—Health officials in Los Angeles County said over 25% of new coronavirus cases are among those who have been fully vaccinated, an increase from last month, according to a report Wednesday.

Health officials have called the vaccines effective and said breakthrough cases are to be expected, but the number is a noticeable increase from June when fully vaccinated individuals accounted for 20% of the county’s infections, Fox 11 Los Angeles reported.

 

Same thing here at Scott AFB in Illinois.

 

Thanks, anti-vaxxers

 

You still don’t really understand this, do you?

 

Actually I understand perfectly, I know you and some others struggle a bit

 

Those who have been vaccinated are spreaders of this virus also

 

Again, you don’t really understand the issue

 

And 99% of those admitted to the hospital are unvaccinated. A major reason for the unvaccinated to get vaccinated.

 

Fascinating how the same people that vehemently argued against the asymptomatic spread this time last year are now blaming the vaccinated for asymptomatic spread. I don’t doubt for a second that the vaccinated are contributing. We’ve been told for well over a year now to get out of our basements and live our lives. Now that we’re doing that, unvaccinated don’t approve.

 

That and “we’re tanking the economy.” Now, THEY are tanking the economy. Good gravy.

 

What line of work are you in?

 

The statistics show that Vaccinated people become infected. They don’t get sick, get mold symptoms or get sick, but don’t require hospitalizations. This was the inevitable result of opening up everywhere. The virus isn’t going anywhere. The idea is to reduce its severity. The statistics show that nearly all hospitalized people are unvaccinated. As we are open and the virus spreads, the unvaccinated are at risk. And with enough unvaccinated in a big world, there will be variants. So, your arguments minimizing the effectiveness of the vaccines by pointing to spread by the vaccinated are just way off base. You are likely correct that the past-infected immunized have immunity equivalent to vaccines. But, bear in mind two things. Studies showed that previously infected had a stronger antibody reaction from the first mRNA vaccine than those not previously infected—indicating a benefit from that two dose regimen. And, the second shot of the mRNA vaccines is similar to a second infection and exposure in the reaction it triggers. All to train the immune system to recognize and respond to exposure to the virus protein. With respect to the Viral load in the vaccinated, that is also a result of exposure externally.

 

U.K.'s Delta wave seems to have peaked sooner than expected. Could the same thing happen in the U.S.?

Not the US, but still interesting...

Go GATORS!
