Could it be doing something, having an effect? Sure. But how do you separate that out from the build up of population immunity, the vulnerable already died, the variant transmits better but is less virulent? Remember, these same people showed graphs touting the vaccines when they looked like mirror copies from a year ago (seasonality forgotten). I don't have an answer. But I can say some people are probably jumping the gun. |

If it were less virulent, the death rates among the unvaccinated would be lower. Last I looked, they weren't. |

Was basically going to say the same thing... those three things are all constants relative to comparing vaccinated vs unvaccinated. They either help or hurt both populations' numbers.

The hospital I work at is now making changes to other buildings and floors in preparation for worse conditions than they had in 2020.
They are having doctors and therapists cancel elective procedures or move therapies to off-site buildings. We installed 12 new air scrubbers in rooms that were not covid ready. Now those rooms are negative pressure. We are going to do several annex buildings tomorrow.

I suppose some future mutation might have a R greater than 1.0 and still circulate barring a booster shot.

@DrEricDing: ALMOST DOMINANT—The #DeltaVariant is now 83% of all sequenced samples in US, says @CDCDirector, up from 50% ~2 weeks ago. "We should think about Delta variant as the 2020 version of #COVID19 on steroids” says @ASlavitt. Dear @CDCgov—please update masks.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/20/healt...day/index.html @DrEricDing: 6) the #DeltaVariant is nearing total domination. Delta is COVID on steroids. I kid you not. https://twitter.com/drericding/statu...21491856568334 |

This makes me wonder where we'd be right now if we didn't have the vaccines so quickly.

This one really stinks. F Covid.
https://cbs2iowa.com/news/nation-wor...0sFmHVaaxbNWYg Georgia deputy loses 5-year-old son to COVID-19 "I have lost my best friend." A Whitfield County, Georgia deputy and his wife are mourning the loss of their 5-year-old boy to COVID-19. Wyatt Gary Gibson died on Friday, July 16, after a short battle with the virus, family members told our Atlanta affiliate station WSB-TV. Wyatt was the son of Whitfield County Sheriff's Lt. Wes Gibson and Alexis Gibson. He was the older brother to a 9-month-old sister. "My little buddy. My best friend. My helper," wrote Wes Gibson in a Facebook post Sunday, "In a way I know that you're still here, but I miss you so damn much! I wish this was one adventure that you did not start... I have lost my best friend." "There are no words that can be spoken to ease his pain and the pain of his family. Lt. Gibson is a dedicated public servant of Whitfield County that truly cares about our community. He is one of the best of us at the Sheriff’s Office," wrote Juan Martinez on Facebook. Family members told WSB-TV that the whole family got sick, but only Wyatt ended up having complications, including a stroke and COVID pneumonia. Wyatt passed away at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga on Friday, according to his obituary. Community members are coming around the Gibson family as they grieve. A GoFundMe campaign has been started for the Gibsons to help pay for medical bills and funeral costs. A Meal Train for the family has also been started. "May the care and love of those around them provide comfort and peace to get them through this time of heartache," wrote Tunnel Hill Police Department in a statement on Facebook.
