Julie: A lot of people think if they’re vaccinated, they can’t transmit. Is that true?

Phillip: So, originally we thought that might be true.

But he says that’s no longer the case, thanks to the Delta variant.

He points to preliminary data from China that indicates the viral load in the nose from the Delta variant may be 1,000 times higher than previous variants.

1. It would be interesting to see how many were hospitalized..there's a big what if in those stats

2. Until something different happens the way I see it is when I am exposed to other

people now it is like when I was exposed to other people before Covid. I could catch something from someone but I'm not going to be deathly ill or die from it. So I'm not going to worry about it. I spent well over a year worrying and I'm tired of it. For well over a year I didn't just wear a mask I avoided everyone. And I don't have one of those bubbles like so many people have. I live alone. I visited NO ONE.

So I'm meeting a friend for lunch and I'm going to enjoy it. If I catch Covid I believe what the CDC says - that it will not make me end up in the hospital and it will not kill me.

3. One has to read the whole article and study it.

I think these parts are the most important.

from article at link:

He notes, first, the counties referenced with higher vaccination and case rates are more densely populated.

Norris notes that as case rates increase with the Delta variant, more vaccinated and unvaccinated people will get COVID, though data indicates that the rates will likely remain much higher among the unvaccinated.

"Infectious disease experts stress that vaccinated people also have fewer symptoms, are less likely to be hospitalized and are still believed to be less likely to transmit.

However, for those who have immune-compromised people in their life, it’s also important to remember that you can still get COVID and give it to them — even if you’re both vaccinated."

Even though I'm fully vaccinated, I still mask and social distance, as well as handwashing etc.

I also avoid those that do not, even if they are friends.

This bug ain't done yet
