[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing. Those aren’t Covid symptoms. [/quote]

Yes they are[/quote]

The top 5 symptoms for vaccinated people are headache, runny nose, congestion, sore throat, loss of smell . OP has one and it’s the 4th most common. The ears are from swimming. Probably the sore throat too. She can get tested but a ton of people on this board came home from the beach feeling lightly cruddy this summer and not one who tested was actually positive. [/quote]

But if OP is only around other adults, it shouldn't matter if she has it![/quote]

Not at all. Delta can spread among vaccinated people, who can then infect kids or vulnerable people who despite being vaccinated, are still at risk from Delta: the elderly, those with comorbidities, and those who were vaccinated more than 6 months ago.

Delta is 225% more transmissible than the original strain, and replicates 1000 faster, and all vaccination does is prevent the recently-jabbed, healthy, prime-of-life vaccine bearer from complications and death. It does not prevent transmission.[/quote]
225%? Really? Ok, Einstein who totally is not insane![/quote]

I'm the pp that person was replying to.  I don't know about the 225% figure but it is way more contagious.  The original COVID had an R0 of 2-3 range.  The Delta has an R0 of between 5 and 10 but they don't know the actual number yet.  It's significantly more contagious.  It just shouldn't matter.  If people don't want to get vaccinated, they'll get COVID no matter what.  If they are at-risk, they have to take special precautions no matter what regardless of what the OP does.  I don't think vaccinated people should do anything special.  Just live life unmasked like before.[/quote]
