China continues to own the gently caress out of the US on covid. Because they actually had a delta outbreak, instead of a wave of delta riding on a zillion other variants, they had better opportunity to study the epidemiology of that specific variant:

Transmission dynamics and epidemiological characteristics of Delta variant infections in China posted:

Background The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become predominant globally. We evaluated the transmission dynamics and epidemiological characteristics of the Delta variant in an outbreak in southern China.

Methods Data on confirmed cases and their close contacts were retrospectively collected from the outbreak that occurred in Guangdong, China in May-June 2021. Key epidemiological parameters, temporal trend of viral loads and secondary attack rates were estimated and compared between the Delta variant and the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 virus. We also evaluated the association of vaccination with viral load and transmission.

Results We identified 167 patients infected with the Delta variant in the Guangdong outbreak. The mean estimates of the latent period and the incubation period were 4.0 days and 5.8 days, respectively. A relatively higher viral load was observed in Delta cases than in wild-type infections. The secondary attack rate among close contacts of Delta cases was 1.4%, and 73.9% (95% confidence interval: 67.2%, 81.3%) of the transmissions occurred before onset. Index cases without vaccination (OR: 2.84, 95% confidence interval: 1.19, 8.45) or with one dose of vaccination (OR: 6.02, 95% confidence interval: 2.45, 18.16) were more likely to transmit infection to their contacts than those who had received 2 doses of vaccination.

Discussion Patients infected with the Delta variant had more rapid symptom onset. The shorter and time-varying serial interval should be accounted in estimation of reproductive numbers. The higher viral load and higher risk of pre-symptomatic transmission indicated the challenges in control of infections with the Delta variant.

Michigan had harder COVID restrictions than anyone else, and as soon as Biden got elected Whitmer fired up the woodchipper. That's the long and short of that.

We're now heading into fall with a worse variant, less vaccinated people than most states, and absolutely no restrictions. Most of our vaccinated people were vaccinated by the end of May so efficacy is already waning.

The Delta wave is gradually moving from the South up this way and when it gets here we're gonna be worse than Florida or Texas.

Yep, everyone went hog wild when the restrictions dropped, and covid spiked. The only long term silver lining has been a lot of people here got vaxxed because of that spike forcing people to interact with covid and its consequences.

It's amazing how much the US, and frankly most of the west, has depended on the success of the Chinese state in containing the virus. Chinese manufacturing has kept supply chains mostly running and researchers there can work to actually understand the epidemiology of the virus as opposed to just throwing up their hands and wondering where all the COVID cases are coming from.

Imagine if China had taken the same approach to the pandemic as the US. The global economy would have collapsed.

we don't know really why the 5th wave stopped at Canada, Michigan and a bit of Minnesota. it's part of why Osterholm is like, stop predicting what will or will not start and stop waves, we literally do not fully understand it, we can just prepare best we can for the next one

the first delta outbreak in China was discovered in Guangzhou city in a 75 year old woman - i don't think the origin is publicly known. government intervention dropped the effective Rf fron ~9 to ~0.5 in 3 weeks with 167 cases detected.

all clothing which isn't gym clothing is by default uncomfortable. having to tuck a shirt in is violence. gently caress office attire forever
