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

We can’t worry about rural Missouri and fewer people than DC Wyoming and the like forever.

The populous economic engines of the country, aside from those under 12, are highly vaccinated.

“Populous economic engines”? Someone is full of themselves!

NP. Do you dispute the assertion that our cities are generally the engine of our economy? If you are just annoyed that the poster threw in something not relevant to the conversation, ok - I can see your point.

What’s not relevant? The pandemic doesn’t have economic implications?

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.

"Indeed, in the United Kingdom, where delta is implicated in more than 95 percent of new cases, researchers say the most common symptoms of Covid-19 are now that of a bad cold: headache, sore throat, runny nose and fever."

Oh no, fear the Delta. Let's prepare to move goal posts to outlaw colds.

It’s interesting that there have several threads in recent weeks trying to move goalposts for schools. Last year the argument was elementary students should be in school because young children were not very impacted by COVID and needed in person instruction. Now some are arguing the opposite that they should be virtual because they are not vaccinated.it’s all based on panic and hysteria not data.

The Delta variant IS moving goalposts. Here’s some data:

Health officials in Israel reported that about half of the new cases were in adults who had been fully vaccinated.

But it’s only dangerous for unvaccinated adults. Being in that category is a choice in the US.

And before anyone screams that kids can't be vaccinated, the last CDC data on COVID-associated hospitalizations reports 14 hospitalizations nationally for children (0-17). This is for the week ending June 19. https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/covidnet/COVID19_5.html

That's down from 25 the week before.

Stop with the batshit fear mongering. Israel has vaccinated 80% of its adults. So, saying omg half of cases in vaccinated!!! is such a stupid attempt to push your shelter forever agenda.

Let me break it down for you with an example. If Israel sees 100 cases tomorrow, 50 will be in the unvaccinated 20% and 50 will be in the vaccinated 80%. But, without vaccines, we’d see 200 cases in that 80%. See, the vaccines work. Praise!

And how sick are those people? The vast vast vast majority have nothing worse than the sniffles.

So, sorry, your going to need to put your fat pants away and get junior’s lazy ass up and on the bus come September.

The subtitle of the article is: The delta variant has made Covid-19 more dangerous than ever for unvaccinated people. This forum is just panic porn.

We can’t worry about rural Missouri and fewer people than DC Wyoming and the like forever.

The vaccinations never promised you wouldn't get COVID. It's that it would defang COVID, so it was mild disease.

https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-less-deadly-vaccinated-countries-mild-approach-lockdown-covid-2021-6

"This time around, deaths and hospitalizations in the country are not rising in line with the surge in cases, which appears to have blunted the worst of the virus thanks to vaccines."

Isreal is refusing to reinstate stricter measures counting on the vaccines to protect them. Enough said that is just the shrill pp!

None of our business. The Johns Hopkins experts clearly said that in areas with high vaccination rates and in households with all vaccainted members except for those under 12, us being vaccinated is the best protection we offer our younger kids.
He also said that cases in kids younger than 12 are minimal and those that have it barely register. Not to dismiss kids that might react very strongly, but those are extremely, extremely rare. It is pretty true that many in MoCo have gotten the vaccine and many more will.
