I’m not that worried but it isn’t true the majority of people have gotten the vaccine. I think it’s like 40%.


In Montgomery County almost 90% of adults have had at least one shot.

Yes, of course! As I wrote before, people used to be scared to live with the coronavirus, now they are scared to live without it.

And horrors, if you do get it, it’s like a cold!

Doctors are beginning to notice Covid-19 cases that look more like a very bad cold, especially in areas of the country where the highly contagious delta variant is quickly spreading.

Many of our kids are not eligible to be vaccinated and there are breakthrough cases.

There will be a large increase of cases through the summer.

We can't tell yet how much that will translate into increases in hospitalizations, deaths, or long-covid, in the various populations such as vacc'ed high-risk seniors, unvacc'ed YOLO young adults, unvacc'ed 'too hot for masks' children, vacc'ed 'time to move on' healthy adults.

We can't tell whether delta itself is more severe, or just vastly more transmissible. There no longer are households of '1 got it, the others didn't' and there are anecdotes of outdoor transmissions (sports in the UK) and fleeting contact transmissions (the mall, in Australia). You can't demand an official report on this stuff, because it's too new. This is what we got.

Hospitalizations increases are behind cases increases by 3+ weeks. Vaccinating half the population has probably changed that timeline, but it has also changed testing practices, even in the symptomatic.



You are just wrong here. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I am vaccinated. I am safe.

End of story.

The Johns Hopkins expert agrees with you and even states that he has no idea why California wants to bring masks back for vaccinated people. Yes, agrees about the delta variant too.


Just LA County. Not the rest of the state, thank goodness.

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.


God no, please no.

ES Teacher


Also a teacher and literally gives me a panic attack thinking about it.

From where did you contract it 3 times? All confirmed?


Where’s the medical journal or news article about this?

Your bar is so low.


To pretend a healthy vaccinated 36 year old is at all in the same risk pool as a 92 year old is nuts.


OK squirrel looking for nuts. No-one is pretending anything about risk pools. Yet, your bar is so low that you dismiss all risk below 'super high'.


If by “dismiss risk” you mean “live my life because the risk is very low” yeah. You can continue whatever game in your head makes you feel better but reality is for vaccinated/ low risk people, we don’t need to stay trapped in quarantine .
