Pandemic 2020

I'm in the sticks in NW Florida. Tonight on the national news they had the color coded map of Florida. Our county was the brightest red they had. We are up to 29% vaccine rate now. It was 25% for a good while.

We have had more than our share of troubles. The Governors will come and go, but the hurricanes are here to stay. Two and a half years out, I deal with Micheal everyday. Will the rest of my life. And like your graphic points out, Florida is likely to get more bad storms going forward.

I live on land that's been in the family since the 1800's. Some of the prettiest river and creek bottoms and a nice sandhill cypress pond. I've always spent a lot of time in the woods, but since the lockdown, I've been going into work one day a week. So I do the grocery store thing, any banking or other honey do's on my list that day, and stay my ass in the woods the rest of the time.

My work did open back up last week. But I don't know how long we will stay open. Our first big event is expecting near 200 people. They are saying that they will enforce mask wearing except when they are seated at their table for dining. And I have heard through the grapevine that many folks bought tickets, but are not going. It's an annual fund raiser. Most years they have near 300 folks. I gave up working weekends because I didn't want to see this kind of crowd. But this is a week night event, so I will be working it. I've had my shots, but I'll be masked up all night.

I don't think many doctors will offer such therapeutics out here in California. Maybe in the "red counties".

I know. It's because in blue states, they don't care about their citizens. It's turned into a sad state of affairs. I'm not even kidding, around here, those types of therapeutics is the 1st thing we turn to. We don't have time for political bullshit, we go straight to what works. I wish people could open up their eyes and realize, the democrats are literally killing people for political reasons.

Looks like Fox viewers are getting whipsawed on Covid information, even former Trump administration officials are saying delta will get you, if you are unvaxxed.

If you aren't vaccinated and haven't had COVID, you will get Delta variant: Brett Giroir | Fox News

If you aren't vaccinated and haven't had COVID, you will get Delta variant: Brett Giroir
Former Trump health official urges Americans to get vaccinated

Admiral Brett Giroir, former assistant health secretary under President Trump, warned on "America Reports" Thursday that the Delta variant is so contagious that it's "just a matter of time" before everyone who is not vaccinated and hasn't had COVID-19 yet catches it.

ADM BRETT GIROIR: Anyone who’s not vaccinated and who did not have COVID previously, the Delta variant is so contagious that you’re going to get it. It is just a matter of time. If you have prior immunity you do have some protection, but more and more data are telling us that that protection is not so good against Delta. Remember, you can get the Flu every year. It’s not because your immunity isn’t good. It’s because the Flu changes and Delta is really a new strain that is different than everything we’ve seen. So, I am really concerned that natural immunity, although real, is not going to be sufficient against Delta. If you don’t have natural immunity and you’re not vaccinated, you’re going to get Delta. So, prevent it by getting your vaccine.

Mask sales sharply rise amid surging cases of Delta variant

Masks are flying off the shelves once again as cases of the COVID-19 Delta variant surge and are expected to climb even higher, according to new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.

Sales were up 24 percent this week ending Tuesday, compared to the prior week, after two months of declining revenue, according to the Adobe Digital Economy Index.

Instacart said its online mask sales have been rising since July 4 after a three-month decline, and Google searches for “masks” have doubled since the CDC recommended indoor-mask mandates even for fully vaccinated people Tuesday, the search engine said.

The increase came even though the chances of becoming severely ill with the Delta variant are extremely low to inoculated individuals, according to scientists.

About half of Americans are fully vaccinated, and those who are not currently account for around 99.5 percent of COVID-19 deaths and 97 percent of hospitalizations.

As more municipalities once again require masks indoors, New York City is set to issue new local guidance next week based on the CDC’s new advice.

FL Doctor On Those Doubting Covid Surge: 'This Is Happening'

Dr. Samer Fahmy, the chief medical officer of a Florida hospital, says vaccinations are the key to defeating the Delta surge of Covid-19 and has a message for those who don't believe the virus is surging again: 'This is happening.'

PJ Diaz said:

This site needs an eye-roll emoji, because now you're just being ridiculous. The reality is that we won't know the implications of any of this for at least 5 years.

We do know how many deaths we had without a vaccine. No, you are being ridiculous expecting a perfect vaccine. And speaking anout the NJ breakthough cases,

"Of the 49 fully vaccinated who did succumb to the illness, “many had other complicating factors, which kept them vulnerable to a COVID infection,” Murphy said."

Vaccination is not enough by itself to stop the spread of variants, study finds

CNN —
Vaccination alone won’t stop the rise of new variants and in fact could push the evolution of strains that evade their protection, researchers warned Friday.

They said people need to wear masks and take other steps to prevent spread until almost everyone in a population has been vaccinated.

Their findings, published in Nature Scientific Reports, support an unpopular decision by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to advise even fully vaccinated people to start wearing masks again in areas of sustained or high transmission.

“We found that a fast rate of vaccination decreases the probability of emergence of a resistant strain,” the team wrote.

“Counterintuitively, when a relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions happened at a time when most individuals of the population have already been vaccinated, the probability of emergence of a resistant strain was greatly increased,” they added.

“Our results suggest that policymakers and individuals should consider maintaining non-pharmaceutical interventions and transmission-reducing behaviors throughout the entire vaccination period.”

“When most people are vaccinated, the vaccine-resistant strain has an advantage over the original strain,” Simon Rella of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, who worked on the study, told reporters.

“This means the vaccine resistant strain spreads through the population faster at a time when most people are vaccinated.”

But if so-called non pharmaceutical interventions are maintained – such as mask use and social distancing – the virus is less likely to spread and change. “There is a chance to remove the vaccine resistant mutations from the population,” Rella said.

The team used a mathematical model to predict these changes, but their findings follow what is known about the epidemiology of viruses and what’s known as selective pressure – the force that drives any organism to evolve.

The findings suggest that policymakers should resist the temptation to lift restrictions to celebrate or reward vaccination efforts.

This is likely to be especially true with a more transmissible variant such as the Delta variant, said Fyodor Kondrashov, also of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria.

“Generally, the more people are infected, the more the chances for vaccine resistance to emerge. So the more Delta is infectious, the more reason for concern,” Kondrashov told reporters.

“By having a situation where you vaccinate everybody, a vaccine-resistant mutant actually gains a selective advantage.”

On Tuesday, the US CDC altered its guidance on mask use. The CDC said earlier this year that fully vaccinated people are very safe from infection and can take off their masks in most situations.

Now, it says even fully vaccinated people can sometimes catch the virus and if they catch the Delta variant, they are just as likely to infect someone else as an unvaccinated person would be. It advised everyone in areas of high or sustained virus transmission to wear masks when around others.

Many GOP politicians have derided the new advice. On Thursday, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves called it “foolish.”

While the CDC was not thinking about the evolution of variants, Kondrashov said people skeptical of maintaining vigilance should be.

“The individual who already vaccinated and putting on a mask should not think this is pointless but should think that there is a vaccine resistant strain running around,” he said.

“By preventing spread of vaccine resistant strains, you are preventing evolution of this virus,” he added.

“We have two tools in our toolbox to do this. One is non pharmaceutical interventions such as mask wearing and the whole shebang, and the second is vaccines. From an evolutionary perspective, what is necessary to reduce this (spread) is to vaccinate as many people as possible as fast as possible and across the globe.”

COVID-19 breakthrough cases climb in NJ | NJ Spotlight News

As the number of breakthrough cases climb, Murphy administration urges vaccinated residents to mask up.

It’s these fucking idiot assholes that aren't getting vaccinated that are causing all the problems and the breakthrough cases. They need to be eliminated from participating in society one way or another. Until they get vaccinated they need to be shut down, locked up and fined for all the harm they are causing . I am so pissed and so are a lot of other people who got vaccinated and have to take care of these fucktards.

I can't don't want to believe it, but it looks like the past year and a half have been for naught. Impossible to deny the world is already well into the fourth wave.

I honestly thought vaccines and a basic instinct for survival would have beaten this by now, but politics, greed, and stupidity appear to have won.

Here's yer man, at least you now have a POTUS who cares, tries his best and who has the tools to do the job.

Delta is gonna get them and hammer healthcare workers, again. Delta, no masks and no NPIs mean exponential growth, with the vaccinated able to spread it too. Delta is 50% more contagious than Alpha, and it was 50% more infectious than the original wild strain, they are saying it's as contagious as chicken pox, if you are vaxxed you might get the "Wu Flu", if not, you might go for the ride.

President Biden Hopes To Revive Vaccine Effort With Rules, Incentives

On Thursday, President Biden discussed new steps the White House plans to take to get more Americans vaccinated and slow the spread of coronavirus. The Morning Joe panel discusses Biden's remarks and how the virus is ravaging parts of the country.

The Cracker/Redneck/Republican/Dumb Ass Retards in most Southern states seem,finally, to be wakeing the fuck up and actually doing something to curtail the spread of the Covid & Delta viruses.
Arkansas and other Southern states have emerged as crucial battlegrounds in efforts by state and local officials to persuade enough unvaccinated Americans to get Covid-19 shots to arrest a national surge in coronavirus infections. Arkansas now has the second-highest rate of new daily Covid-19 cases in the country, after Louisiana.
Personally, if It wasn't for fucking FACT that those idiots are creating the perfect environment for a variant to develop & a continuation of the spread of the Virus, not only in their fucked up states, but around the US.
Me, I really don't give a fuck if those that refuse masks & vaccinations drop fucking dead.
Is that mean?
Is that disparaging?
I don't give a fuck.
I hate them.

I finally got a patient that decided to get vaccinated 2 weeks ago because of delta. She is the first patient I have seen that has changed her mind and decided to get the jab in months! It was like a mad rush in the beginning and then no one was getting shots for months. I hope to see an uptick with my resistant patients now. Might it be too late though? Time will tell. I hope for the best ,she brightened my day. Please get the shot if you haven’t.

Under Trump?
Your a joke, and no, I am not hate-filled or a Communist, I'll give you Socialist.
Actually I'l take 1/2 of my statement back. I am hate filled towards the selfish citizens that think their own deluded/selfiish attitude outweighs the common good or the heatlh of their friends/family or neighbors
Let me ask you a question @Plutonium
Do you wear a mask now, or have you ever worn one?
Did you get a vaccination, or do you feel it's an infringement on your rights to be a contagion?
Let me know,please.
I'm very curious.
One last question
Are the viruses in your community?
They are in mine & have cost the lives of almost 100 people
I got it before the vaccine was developed & it put me on my back for 6 weeks
I was one of the lucky ones it seems.
So yea, I hate those motherfuckers that don't wear a mask or get vaccinated.
I'd spit on them if I could.
