I think people need to accept they aren't bulletproof. But still, they increase the odds of a mild case..and I've read the viral load does not last as long vs someone who is unvaccinated. So although transmissible while vaccinated, it's probably less likely.

I'm surprised it wasn't already, given this is where COVID has had the most impact.

My Comcast bundle is about $168, but only because I got a promo deal with the new residence. After that..i'm sure it will balloon up and I will threaten to cancel it. Hopefully there will be some competition by then.

Hipster pizza talk? Could do worse

I'll take all your rain - much needed for the Cape.

If the guy behind the counter doesn't look like this, I turn around and leave.

Yup it's worth the price.

Down the street from me

Saw this misleading article on CNN about pediatric hospitals at capacity in Lousiana, I believe. Most of the admitted patients suffered from RSV, but they don't really explicitly say that until the very end of the article. They want the reader to believe it's mainly COVID related.

Pretty much. Lawn taking a hit My total is skewed towards early in the month. Not much since the 4th

Damn. Was hoping for Rizzo. Maybe we can still pull off a Berrios or Scherzer and another bullpen arm

CNN and FOX were on at the gym today. CNN went straight COVID scare porn for an hour straight. FOX mixed it up a bit more with other stuff, but still about 20 min of COVID talk. I don't know who watches this stuff on a daily basis..but I can see how some people will get riled up by this non-stop mongering.

If you have a kn95 or better, sure. That may provide some protection if you happened to come across someone who has it.

What does this mean? Vermont and MA both have Republican governors. And I thought Texas was a purple state now. It's not entirely a red/blue issue

Ivermectin might be legit..unlike hydroxychloroquine. But we definitely need more data.

I believe the long-term studies will prove it is real.

Some of those claiming long COVID could be just having anxiety..so wouldn't be surprised if their is overlap. But it is very real. My wife was getting 'brain zaps' for about a month straight which wouldn't allow her to fall asleep out of fear. These were physical, not mental. She still feels buzzing in her head every night, but to a lesser degree. She cannot fully exert herself yet without feeling out of breath, to this day. That's only a couple of the symptoms, including tingling in the hands/feet, and basic nerve issues. We have Abnormal EEG's to back it up, and a myriad of other elevated test results like Cytokine panels..but it's still hard to prove a connection literally, other than it all happened after a mild case with flu like symptoms last March and a tight chest. However, as you should be aware..viruses can trigger downstream effects, like auto-immune reactions that are indirectly brought out by a virus. This one I read a few theories that the OG Covid (alpha, (the virus that likely escaped the Wuhan Lab) seems to have caused most of the long-covid patients..and perhaps the mutated versions have not resulted in as many long-covid patients. I don't know why though. I will say she has also had a swollen throat for the past two months. We initially thought it was allergies, but doubtful given the medication hasn't worked.

My first summer living on the Cape..I've grown a new disdain for cars with NY, CT, or PA plates.

Since the delta is far more contagious..I wonder if this is the catalyst that finally brings us much closer to herd immunity, in addition to the current vaccination rate. Also, the peak of this wave will likely burn out quicker as it rapidly finds any remaining hosts before we hit that immunity tipping point.

Good post. My wife has been living with post covid effects going on 16 months now.

I think the US number is close to accurate, if anything a tad high. I believe many other countries have vastly underreported deaths; India, Brazil, Mexico, China (obviously), perhaps Russia.

Yeah I agree with this. I was half joking with that post.

No I agree..most of the covid vaccine resistance has been between the 18-35 demo..hardly anywhere near the average Trump supporter age. Though I still think a decent percentage would go get it because he said so. Maybe it's 5%, maybe it's 10. And maybe that % already did.

Trump is urging folks to get the vaccine. I guarantee if they renamed it to the Trump vaccine, the fully vaccinated would go up about 20%

UK cases already dropping. We are 3 weeks behind them so this wave isn't going to last.
