this is genuinely interesting and i'd like to understand why this is the case. maybe natural immunity was much more common pre-delta in NY as opposed to FL? how accurately can we measure natural immunity in communities?

(couldnt care less about the terminally online drama ITT)

You could ask an even more pointed question about Seattle, where Delta was growing with Rt>2 until about two weeks ago when it suddenly slammed into an Rt=1 ceiling and the outbreak plateaued. Why the sudden stop? Nothing changed in terms of vaccination rate, natural immunity, etc.

Even basic precautions make a huge difference in the spread of covid, and Floridians have abandoned basic precautions.

It's because in June and July people were told that covid was over and they could stop wearing their masks and stop caring about gathering sizes. Then they learned that's bullshit in August and everyone started taking basic precautions again, people are wearing masks and (most) people are being way more cautious about gatherings. Peoples' fear and willingness to take some basic precautions like universal masking (for vaccinated and unvaccinated, indoors and outdoors, etc.) is what is making the difference. The vaccine helps with that and it also helps the hospital system not collapse but the size of the outbreak is governed mostly by people being idiots or not idiots at this point in time.

it's not at all, lol sorry

check covid cases this time last year and you'll find exactly the same pattern

actual epidemiologists say the cyclical nature of covid is as understood as Aristotle understood the weather. we will live through it, but to pretend we understand everything in perfect clarity is woeful ignorance

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...
