Lmao, you are crazy.

- you don't need to wear a mask
- it's not airborne
- it's just the flu
- it only kills people over 80
- the vaccine is actually giving people COVID
- it's turning everyone into murderous zombies

There's a natural 18 month progression there.

See I thought 4 weeks between doses was on the long side but when I hear about experiences like this from abroad I immediately count my blessings. Solidarity to you and yours .

It's probably going to be a lot sooner fwiw. Canada was dry on supply most of the spring but we're supposed to have 50 million doses for 30 million eligible people by the end of June and the deliveries will just keep rolling. It's not going to be the full 4 months, especially if the USA lifts their export ban which as expected once the surplus doses start piling up.

Is it safe to assume whatever manufacturing and logistic capability the US has for the vaccines will stay redlined throughout the summer to get as much out to other countries as we can?

Seems like in a month basically anyone who wants a vaccine here should be able to have had one.

This but not just through the summer, probably for the next 18-24 months. The world has a long way to go to catch up to North America.

If there's been a case of asymptomatic COVID causing long term health consequences I haven't seen it. How would you even capture that data without blanket testing.

This map of Toronto is blowing my mind right now. It's data from the last 2 weeks. About 3 million people live in the area depicted and we're only at ~20% fully vaccinated, but I think ~80% with one dose.

I know eveyone's having a great time arguing ITT but I was wondering if anyone has information on pre-symptomatic / asymptomatic cases and how long it takes for them to show up on tests reliably?

I know someone who has to do some travel to the states and they're trying to figure out how to keep their housemates safe on return.

I'm fully vaccinated, everyone here has had the chance for months. At this point I don't feel like their safety is my responsibility.

I'm not going out of my way to be around people, and I'm taking the precautions I feel are appropriate to protect myself when I do go out. But I've stopped stressing about potentially spreading an asymptomatic case. Y'all (and I use that term in its purest sense) had your chance to be safe and chose not to.

I'm not a doomer I just live with unvaccinated kids. My wife and I are fully vaxxed now and if it wasn't for the kids COVID would be over for me too. I figure they'll be getting jabbed by end of September, so not much longer.

We know very little about long covid and delta and vaccination for better or worse. The low death rate certainly doesn't mean we have no cause for alarm, we absolutely need to err on the side of safety, but frankly I think it's better evidence than the people calling COVID "airborne Parkinson's" do.

Long COVID mostly correlates with severity of infection as I understand. I've heard of cases manifesting from "moderate" (ie non hospitalized COVID) but it seems mostly to be from more severe cases. So if the vaccines are keeping people out of hospital in 95%+ of cases then long COVID should see a strong decline as well.

I bought 100 of the shopvida masks, which should carry my kids through to November when I'm hoping kids in Canada will have gotten a shot. We approved before the FDA on the adult round of vaccines, so there's some reason to believe/hope we'll do it for the under 12 set too.

We have fantastic vaccine uptake numbers. We're only seeing 20-40 new cases a day in Toronto (roughly 1 in 100,000), mostly confined to a few densely populated neighborhoods, and we have about 70% full vaccination in the city.

If we can just get the kids vaccinated in early fall COVID could actually be over soon.
