Because the tests can pick up dead virus in vaccinated individuals, that has absolutely no effect on them, nor is enough to be transmissible.

But what about people who are sick, but just not sick enough to be hospitalized? We know from the past 18 months, that you can be really sick with Covid and not be deemed worthy of a hospital bed. I know at least 12 previously healthy people who were sick enough that they could not walk from bed to sofa but were sent home from the hospital.

Sounds like a bout with the flu.

They are expecting Missouri, Alabama, basically any state with 30 some percent vaccination rates to be flooded with it by the end of the summer.

Remember when we facing certain doom from the UK variant? Yeah. I’m expecting a similar outcome. We will be on to the next one before you know it.

But to answer your question, it is already hitting Missouri and Colorado. Case numbers will go up everywhere in the next month.

Wrong

Those RED states are going to be filled with the variant. HAHAHAHAHA zero empathy. Yep that's right zero.

Disturbingly unkind. And I’m a very liberal Dem. You are the reason this great country remains so broken. These are human beings you are talking about. People who only know what they live. Instead of wishing them dead, maybe help show them a better way?

Not like any flu I’ve had because you at any urgent care, you can get prescription medication that shortens the flu and makes it less intense. Does your Urgent Care have that for Covid?

I also find this comment abhorrent, but we’ve been trying to show some of these states a better way since Reconstruction. They are not interested.

Because they think it’s like the flu. And they don’t get flu shots either.

Does the flu cause your oxygen levels to drop to 88 percent? I was in the ER three times for supplemental oxygen. Does the flu cause permanent heart and lung damage? COVID can. I had fever for 13 long days. Never heard of the flu causing two weeks of high fever. Does it take three months to recover from the flu. It took me almost that long to recover from COVID.

My case was considered “mild”. I am 52 years old. No other medical conditions. A marathon runner. Yoga teacher. Personal trainer. I’m in fantastic shape. COVID was nothing like the flu for me.

And for every one of you stories there are stories of people with mild cases.

I’ve gone back to masking in stores. It’s definitely in Fairfax County.

Just for another perspective.... if dem congresspersons were as merciless as repub congresspersons, our country would be vastly healthier.

And for every one of you stories there are stories of people with mild cases.

Different poster. Have you been asleep since March 2020? Yes, a fraction (much larger if delta) of those exposed will be infected. A fraction of those infected will have symptoms. A small fraction of those with symptoms will need hospitalization. Some will die. Some with or without symptoms during the initial infection will experience an odd array of symptoms for 6+ months. So totally, for every one horrendous mild case, there are several stories of mild mild cases. This s**t still ain't the flu, bro.
