IMO this virus will be with us a long time simply because of the number of infection world wide coupled with the viruses higher mutation rate
"RNA viruses have high mutation rates—up to a million times higher than their hosts—and these high rates are correlated with enhanced virulence and evolvability, traits considered beneficial for viruses."
The delta variant today-- some other variant tomorrow. Let us hope it does not mutate into something more virulent in the future.

I'm scared about the pandemic will be long time forever maybe as future variants will be more scary as ending of everything this is going to be very very very long pandemic trip for many years to come....I hope the pandemic ends very soon.:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
Or worse.....:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

If the unvaccinated people won't get vaccinated by fall/winter. Things gets worse as new variants would be even worse than Delta as they will resistant stain for vaccines as ending the world as we know it, I hate this pandemic so much! What this could be this future to be like for 2022-2026, even the pandemic will get EVEN worse as this millions of people with vaccinated will ALL dead by then if the future variants will ending vaccines. That the world will be ended as well. Dr. Fauci may told warning to unvaccinated people if they don't get vaccinated right away, then the future pandemic will gets EVEN worse as all people will die soon. @GoofGoof @ImperfectPixie

J&J here. I’m in my 20s healthy, in shape. Wanted the one and done. I’m happy with my decision. If they decide boosters are necessary then I’ll get it but until then I feel I’m in a good spot

That's good you got vaccinated. A mother lost her son and daughter (23, 20 ) to covid , started with fevers then got worse. They are from Broward County , FL traveled to Orlando then went back home to South Florida. If all were vaccinated the kids would probably still be alive.

If variants continue popping up, we may need an effective therapeutic (medicine/antiviral) to truly get out of this “alive”, in combination with vaccines. Let’s hope not

Work update: masks and temperature screening required for all on-site employees begining Monday again. Return to work plans for office personnel on pause until October. Masks will be reevaluated in 6 weeks citing the Delta data trend in the India and UK plant locations. 4 employees have tested positive this week in our plant. We hadn't had a single case since May. :(
They plan to do more clinics again. At our plant it will be the J&J because of the logistics of the other 2. The plants in the same city as our employee health clinic, 20 miles north, will be the 2 dose vaccines. Vaccines will not be mandatory.

Temperature screenings? Hasn't it been established that they are basically useless?

Funny you should mention that… UPMC just announced last week their COVID therapeutic has shown extremely great results in not just treating COVID but also preventing COVID. This is getting literally zero news coverage and is once again proving that news outlets are not out allies in this battle against COVID. This therapeutic is expected to be in use by early 2022. Help is on the way.

Monoclonal antibody therapy has received coverage. Makes sense on concentrating on what we can do today to prevent Covid, or at least reduce severity, via vaccine rather then what might be available tomorrow as treatment. Both are important tools

Heard on the new 30% of those vaccinated can get the covid virus and when they do they can spread it to non vaccinated as well as those 30% who are vaccinated and susceptible. Vaccinations and therapeutics will be needed to get this under control IMO its going to be a long slow process.

Useless for one-time screenings, like at a theme park.

However, in a workplace or other environments where people are regularly tested, it's actually a great indicator of early sickness.

This is because they can establish a "base line" for individuals to see if they are above their normal temp range and compare them day to day. The reason it is useless in a place like WDW is because everyone has such varying temps, that picking a number that is "high" is too difficult and is going to vary by individual.

Honestly even a few times a day kind of stinks. You come to work with no fever. Feel fine. Have 2nd test of the day. Totally fine. A few hours after that, you fall ill with fever. Illness spread. First covid outbreak at my aunt's LTC facility had that happen. I personally think it's not as good as people think, but to each their own.

Which was to be expected after restrictions were lifted.

I’m surprised and relieved that the figures haven’t shot up, which is what I was expecting a few weeks ago. A sharper rise may yet happen, but I’m remaining cautiously optimistic.

I get that. There are times when I expect cases to rise as well. Just hopefully the vaccines will balance it all out. Also that more cases become just a count and not a concern as well. Given the swoops of that graph, it doesn't look awful yet. Could've been a false quick decline as well and this is a 'correction' on the overall curve.
