By stating that you have the delta variant without actual proof, you are exacerbating the hyperbole that is associated with this Chinese Flu. You. do. not. know. for. sure.To this point, my husband does not have the virus, for which I’m very grateful. He has multiple sclerosis, and protecting his health is why we’ve been so careful throughout this thing. He did get a booster shot a little over two weeks ago (before they were authorized and on the advice of his doctor), so I’m hoping that keeps him protected.
And I don’t know for sure I have the Delta variant. It’s a logical conclusion to draw since our state health department has indicated it’s by far the dominant strain in South Carolina at this point. Also, my initial symptom was a runny nose - which is a common symptom of Delta variant.
Today, my biggest symptom is fatigue. I’ve been napping off and on all day. Very similar to when I had mono a few years ago - my energy is zapped.
That just doesn't make any since because you can still spread it if you are vaxed. They should have just sent the whole school home and let them return next week with a negative test.My district has adopted this policy.....
If you are contact traced and you have been vaxed, you're good.
If you have had covid in the past 90 days, you're good.
If neither of the above, you can agree to wear a mask at all times and have temperature checks twice a day.
It goes for athletes as well.
Massachusetts doctor, who’s pro-vaccine, says that upwards of 40% of the state’s active cases today are from vaccinated individuals. Call it anecdotal but by my math that’s 60% effective at preventing infection.
The breakthrough cases remain a tiny percentage -- about 0.35% -- of the more than 4,449,267 people who have been vaccinated and the deaths an even smaller percentage -- just 0.0003%
In the last week alone, 3,098 breakthrough cases -- infections in people who have been vaccinated -- have been reported. Health officials said 571 of the new breakthrough cases resulted in hospitalization, or about 0.01% of all fully vaccinated individuals.
There Have Now Been Over 15,000 Breakthrough COVID Cases in Mass.
6 deaths yesterday.
Six more people lost their battles with COVID-19 in Lee Health hospitals on Monday. Now, the total number of deaths in one week in one hospital system has risen to 54.
