morons is incorrect, well, it's true, but it's not the true cause here

the true cause is that they live in a white supremacist nazi nation that is deliberately doing a genocide on the "inferior" among us, those with "pre-existing conditions", the elderly, the underclass and minorities who are denied access to medicine already. "

"morons" upgrades them from bloodthirsty nazi genocide participants to unwitting saps. it's on purpose. they know what they're doing.

Efficacy against infection drops a bunch, efficacy against hospitalization is still high.


This is my own dumb thought, but might this mean that Delta is going to make it pretty hard for any other variants to get a foothold given how highly infectious it is? Yeah maybe some new variant will be cooked up that's twice as deadly, but if Delta is outcompeting everything still, it'll never catch on.

Fun to look back a year, NYC COVID case counts are about eight times as high compared to a year ago, hospitalizations three times as high, deaths about twice as high (low statistics though). Great things lie ahead.

In maybe relevant news, delaware hospitals are official full thanks to delta. For the 5 people from delaware, just fyi. Also same thing for eastern maryland, I've seen a couple patients that had to come here because all the hospitals in Maryland were full.

Yes.

It's going to be endemic for years now ("certainly for the rest of my life", Dr. Campbell says), and poor countries are not going to get booster doses like everyone else so it's going to cook up nasty mutations in those populations. We'll all be exposed to it for a long time and basically everyone is going to have a good risk of getting a breakthrough case at some point.

Yeah, I'm wondering if having only one variant circulating slows down the reinfection rates a bit. Prior to delta there were multiple circulating strains so resistance to one provides windows for others with a handful of different mutations to come in and infect someone instead. But with all of the other options squelched out, anything new has to sequentially mutate out of delta now. That being said, SARS-CoV-2 appears to mutate rapidly under the right selective pressures, and we've already seen mutations go completely global before (although maybe convergently) like D614G.

Oh there are plenty of physical beds and rooms, there just isn't any staff because it's better to do just in time staffing to the minimum. Better for profits, you see.
