Yes. exactly. I still remember, as a small child, being obnoxiously cocky because I got 3 little chickenpox spots, and my sister got much sicker. Came back to bite me when I got them again, at 14- worse case my Dr. had ever seen. My immune system did not react enough to it the first time. So I will take it!

No attacks or insults needed. Simple ostracization will do.
Certainly no access to “non-essentials” like theme parks, concerts, sports events, theaters, etc.
It might not be their bed. They may be laying in the bed of a vaccinated person who needs care.
India had much less vaccination than the US and the cases went up and then came down. Pretty standard arc. I have no idea when that will happen here but I’m not sure how people are confident cases just won’t go back down again. It defies the way this virus has spread since the beginning. It’s possible that we will see cases drop in some areas that ramped up sooner like FL but cases still increasing in areas that were behind ramping up. That’s a timing difference regionally.
I simply presented the data in response to a prior post claiming that the unvaccinated are to blame for everything. I am not against people getting vaccinated. If the mathematics offend you there's nothing I can help you with.
Many are looking at the arcs this virus has experienced since day 1. Here, UK, India, whatever country you look at. Cases go up and cases go down and it’s generally a 3 month arc.
I’m not offended by “the mathematics” - but they prove that high vaccine numbers do work in Iceland. Yes there will still be breakthrough cases, but if people aren’t dying and filling up the hospitals that’s the whole point!
One hospital needed more space for patients. They turned the employee cafeteria into more space for care.
Delta looks like it might peak faster than the origin strain, but its impact hits harder. I think the main concern with Delta is how long the vaccine wall will hold up. Right now it's passing the test but Delta, more so than the other variants, is constantly trying to break through.
I understand it’s a totally different event. I also understand it is worth it to some people. The only point I was making is the big increase in price for lower hours and a lot less offerings that will be going on COMPARED to the Halloween party.
Do you have a link to this? I did a google search and it came up empty.
I agree with that. It seems to grow faster than previous strains but then crash down fast too. At least based on India and the UK. In Israel the growth has been slower but that may be due to them having more adults vaccinated. It’s hard to draw firm conclusions on how the US will react. For example if cases in FL were to peak and start to drop but TX is still growing and is joined by IL or NY or PA or some other combo of larger states the National cases may not drop.
Here's the link. And please keep in mind that the local media had reported that this hospital was overwhelmed and not able to admit new patients especially children thus causing completely unnecessary panic in their community.
No, I am going off of your statement that you made. My medical worker loved ones really do care who is vaxxed as it absolutely matters to their jobs what others do. Wasn't remarking on if you are or not. Someone not vaccinating absolutely affects those in hospital and care settings. You might ignore it, but they can't. A few friends in hot spots are begging people to vaccinate. I know one who just left care settings because it was too much and moved to teaching instead. It does affect them.
My point is that we are always gonna have cases even with majority of the population of a specific area vaccinated. Covid is here to stay. What we want to keep at bay or to a minimum is the long covid, hospital stays, and deaths. Otherwise we will forever be locked in a vicious cycle and if we just go by case numbers; and again I reiterate, in highly vaccinated areas.
Is it time to swallow that the predictions have been pretty accurate since the start???
