When is the Delta variant supposed to hit?

Listen, a bad cold or a twisted ankle can kill you at 92. I’m sorry for their loss obviously. It doesn’t mean your average vaccinated healthy adult is at super high risk.

This is exactly how people started talking about initial Covid!

So now we’re “zero-colds”?

No, dummy. That's not what we're saying. We're saying that the start of Covid was preceded by lots of talk of a "really bad cold." That cold turned out to Covid. Can you follow that? Now we're hearing the same talk about a "really bad cold."

Except that no scientist who is studying this agrees. Those colds people got at the beginning of 2020 were apparently...just colds.

Everybody knows somebody who just swears they had covid in October 2019 because it just couldn’t have been a normal bad fall respiratory virus.

It's been in the US since April.

Ha, ha, you all. Some scientists are saying that the delta variant is already the dominant variant in infections in the States. So, how come it will hit in a week?

They do. And they won't stop until we are a totalitarian state.

They can all just move to Ontario. Where we have people doing yard work in their own yard....masked! And where we are afraid of it to death... people worse masks outside yesterday at almost 100F!

Long before the pandemic, there were masked people jogging in LA summers.

Whenever the media says it will. Stay glued to the TV for further instructions.

LOL! You should see a young couple that just moved in few houses down from me! Young, and dressed in full track gear, sleeves up, gloves on (ok they were gardening), and hats with visors. We are also having a heatwave, not as bad as the West Coast, and they are clearly living together, nobody near them. On Monday it was getting close to 100F with the humidex, and they were in full protective gear! As if they think the air around them will kill them.
It reminded me of a guy I saw in Gaithersburg last June in a winter jacket and winter pants, riding a scooter, with the winter jacket hood on and a full snorkel mask on him! But, that was last June, this is in 2021!
This is what happens when you scare the hell of people. But, we know more about how it spreads than we did then. I can understand the confusion then, but come on, this couple is clearly smart enough to afford a huge income and buy the house that is very, very pricey... but they are also naive enough to have fallen prey to fearmongering media.

Well, not really. The answer is (if you are a teacher) a week before the school is supposed to start, or a week before I am supposed to show up for work in person, so around a week or two before Labor Day for most.

My DS was 100% sure he has covid 5 times last year. He did a test in January 2021 and guess what? Nope, ZERO antibodies! Guess what he and many here have in common? Anxiety.
Come on, we know masks work, we now have masks and vaccines. But we are supposed to pretend that we are in Indian right now?

My company has an in-person conference in New Orleans around Halloween. If you had to predict, do you think it will happen?

No, delta and gamma are hitting on the 20th of October.

Indeed. September is often a slow news month.

Your bar is so low.

It’s already here. I was one of the first to get COViD and I had it again third time it was different. It’s bad but not as bad as last time. I’ve had COViD 3 times.
