At this point, who cares about anyone remaining unvaxxed? You can protect yourself by vaxxing. If you are still scared, then stay home or wear a mask. It's a personal decision now that the vaccine has been widely available for 2-3 months to anyone who wants it. It was different back prior to the vaccine. I am really hoping it doesn’t affect my work for the upcoming year. I doubt it will at this point but that is looming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Delta also won't last forever. places with low vax rates in the south will have an ugly August with it but elsewhere there is a lot of protection from severe disease thanks to prior infection and vaccination. In Europe we're already starting to see things turnaround as Delta peaks with far lower hospitalization rates/deaths than previous spikes. India's spike was vicious (and deadly) but it was also quite quick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

India's spike was vicious (and deadly) but it was also quite quick. It’s been clear forever that “delta” was the typical respiratory virus variant that was less deadly and more transmissible. That’s evolution at work. Viruses exist to propagate themselves, not kill people. The viruses that propagate the best don’t kill their hosts. The media should be jailed for pushing this as a more deadly variant. It’s criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at least what I've read everywhere was that it was unclear whether this variant was more dangerous/deadly... though it was clear it was much more transmissible. Even if it is as virulent as prior variants (for arguments sake) even places with low vax rates... those who are vaccinated skew toward those who are high risk and elderly. So just that alone would bring down bad outcomes significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's more deadly overall or just more deadly to the unvaccinated than previous covid variants are two different questions. It seems like it's a pretty clear no on the first question, but more unclear on the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 What are people eating and drinking tonight? Back porch. Side note, broken elbow surgery last month cost 25,000. Thankfully only responsible for 2K, but have to laugh at the cost of things. $300 for one bone drill bit of which I needed seven. Then the plate and screws in my arm cost 4400.

My great-grandfather ran a farm for most of his life and this was the type of weather he used to talk about that was good for corn even though it was bad for other crops - excluding the areas with excessive flooding of course, where nothing grows well in that...

TalcottWx Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 In all seriousness, this thread really does help me get out some frustration. I hope I don't piss anyone off too much. It's been an emotional day or so. I found out my uncle died last night of COVID. He was unvaccinated. Second family death in two months. Some have asked me why I'm so personally angered by things or how things are normal and I'm being an idiot (according to kev). But things are far from normal right now in this country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
