So what's the average incubation period for Delta? I'm curious when we'll start to see the inevitable labor day weekend surge

24hrs to a week usually with some longer outliers. It's a lot t faster moving than the OG covid. Some people never become symptomatic in the same way however.

It'll be hard to distinguish from the "open all the schools full capacity" surge in a lot of places.

I'm not even a healthcare worker and I feel like we're all going to have our empathy drives severely emptied out after this whole debacle. It becomes difficult to keep caring about people you don't know as you continue to learn more and more every day that a sizable portion of them like to juggle molotov cocktails at house parties despite not being any good at it, and then want to sue the house owner when they get burned

I can't imagine how any healthcare worker has not quit their job by now

This isn't something like not smoking or eating only healthy or whatever. It's just two very basic things. Wear a mask while in public. Get your vaccination. It's easy, and effortless to do, and everything goes back to normal. It's just pathetic. Beyond pathetic. Your ego is your only real enemy in this life and not admitting you're wrong or being contrarian to own some nebulous political entity or satisfy an ideology is some serious low IQ poo poo.

even if like 99% of people got the vaccine wouldn't there still be variants due to the waning 6ish month efficacy? I mean you're never going to get 100% vaccination rate so I don't see how that's even a possibility to plan for and get upset about when it doesn't happen

You would be right, but the vaccine effectiveness is only going to further increase. How many people do you know who have polio? It's possible to eradicate this virus if people get their loving free vaccine.

with boosters or with better vaccines? if you think too many people aren't getting the vaccine then it's going to be even harder to get people on board for semi-annual boosters.

There's a fair number of vaccines where you need multiple initial boosters early on, but after that you are good for quite a while if not life. For example the HPV and HEP-B vaccines are both given in 3 doses.

It's really too early to know if and when boosters of the various vaccines will be needed. Most people have only had them for ~6 months and so far they still seem to be effective (at least the big 3 used in the US). Boosters won't hurt, and I'm sure they will get pushed because there are other strong motivators (money, the appearance of doing something) aside from efficacy. But it's unlikely that you will need a booster of the same vaccine every year for the rest of your life.

As new variants come out, new vaccines will be created and tested, so we may end up in a situation where you get delta vaccine/booster next year, and then mu 6 months after, etc. as long as the pandemic continues and the vaccines can be fast-tracked with emergency authorizations.

Manitoba is a day or 2 away from getting to 85% of 12+ having a shot. I can’t blame kids for having a party, the idea that you need to stay home forever isn’t very marketable. My personal point will probably be a couple of months after kids can get vaccinated. I’ll keep wearing masks in certain places that is needed, but we can’t stay home forever because of the risk to unvaccinated.

*Unless a new variant that takes us back to square one appears, but that’s not happening. No chance.

My wife does x-ray at a local heart hospital and they just had one of their doctors quit in the last month due to vaccine mandates. This place as well as it's doctors have a great reputations which makes it seem so strange, but I guess it doesn't matter the brains, skill set or reputations...there's idiots everywhere.

Good.

Idiots may have jumped through the correct hoops earlier to land a job but at their core they are idiots now if they are avoiding the vaccine.

You use a nuke to vaporize the forest. There's then no tree to catch fires in wild fire season.

(Also you have to use follow up nukes to nuke the plants/weeds that grow within days or even hours of the soil cooling down because first adopter species are agressive. Maybe salt and pave the area too)
