Well it appears we are not out of the woods yet. This delta variant is here in nearly all states and many folks have not yet been vaccinated.
 

I’ve been watching this to see how the J&J vaccine holds up to this new variant. I saw something the other day that indicated it’s 60% effective but each report seems to give different information.

If I have to restrict my movements, social distance, continue with masks and hand sanitizer it won’t be a big deal.

I doubt it's any different than flu shots not working for the mutations; that's why it's a guessing game.
But, they're trying to be careful not to say that because they don't want people to say, "Well, if Covid keeps mutating & the vaccine isn't effective against mutations, why should I bother getting vaccinated?"
 

I'm unclear on actual effects due to different stories including it's another covid 19 to it's more like a cold. Also heard it's more contagious but is it more deadly.
 
This Delta variant is the same one that has hit the people in India so hard. It seems to be spreading faster, and with more severity than the original strain we have seen here. Those who have been vaccinated should be reasonably protected, but those who have not been vaccinated should continue to take all precautions....avoiding crowds, etc.

The Summer season, with many people trying to get back to "normal". could easily see a marked rise in the numbers being infected. With so many reluctant to get vaccinated, we are still quite a way from this pandemic becoming a minor issue.

LOL - "Masks are Useless." "Masks protect."
"People with allergies should not get the vaccine." "Everyone should get the vaccine."
"Bad reactions to the vaccine are rare." "Bad reactions to the vaccine are more common than previously thought."
"No Indoor dining & maintain 6 ft distance"..............unless you're the Governor, Mayor or Councilwoman. They're uh.........immune, so they can dine indoors.

India was going to be open to alot of things due to living conditions and population health. India has/had a hunger issue which leads to malnutrition. But as they correct the malnourishment obesity is on the rise-a commorbidity

The CDC expects a marked rise in fall and winter; flu season. Right now, covid cases are reported as relatively mild and covid deaths in the US are down to something like 0.4%. The severity of cases and number of deaths is expected to rise significantly in Sept-Oct and again in Dec-Jan '22.
 
If the government officials really believed in science or were actually concerned about controlling the virus we would have stopped people from India from entering our country for weeks if not months after we knew about the variant.

The officials allowed countless people to bring the variant onto our shores, making sure it would be seeded across the country.
 
I may consider getting vaccinated when the dust settles. My main concern is its latent effects months or years down the road. Which is the best vaccine? How effective? Does one have to get the same brand for the booster and the first jab? Doesn't sound very effective if people still have to wear masks and practice social distancing. IMHO - they are rushing to get things back to "normal".

There are still one-way aisles in the local food market.

One way isles here, too.
 
As an aside, there's some data on the Delta Variant HERE. Go to Table 2 on page 8 of the report. I am guessing there are head colds more dangerous than this, given how the numbers are inflated.

It's like they're thinking: "Maybe we can get more people vaccinated who are on the fence by scaring them
about that Deadly Delta, otherwise, we'll have a huge pile of unused vaccines we'll have to throw away."
 
Here's an interesting bit: News form America's Frontline Doctors, of an actual judicial decision on the true extent of COVID deaths in Portugal. Mordechai Sones writes:
​
Following a citizen's petition, a Lisbon court was forced to provide verified COVID-19 mortality data, reports AndreDias.net.​
According to the ruling, the number of verified COVID-19 deaths from January 2020 to April 2021 is only 152, not about 17,000 as claimed by government ministries.​
​
All the "others" died for various reasons, although their PCR test was positive.​
​
"We live in a fraud of unprecedented dimensions," wrote Dias.​

It's all in what and how you count and what your motive is. There's nothing quite like giving up your freedom and livelihood for some really bad data. I was told privately how they were counting things in one medical facility and what they were doing was strikingly similar to the Portugal scenario. It begs the question, "Who gained what from all of this?"
