I knew far more people who got colds than who got Covid.
Clearly we should lockdown and destroy our economy...again.
No school ever, no dating ever...
The least deadly variant.
We are knee-deep in herd immunity now.
Is there a test for the Delta variant?
India and Fauxcy’s fault.
From my understanding, the only way to confirm one variant over another is to do a full gene sequence on the sample. Sequencing is expensive (hundreds if not thousands per sample) and very few machines are available to run the sequence.
Soooo, they run a few samples and then extrapolate from there. They likely do not have enough information to confidently say %’s.
I remember being told a year and a half ago that Covid 1 was the most contagious disease in the history of the planet. We were wiping down packages because the virus could live on surfaces for days and that a single viron could kill you in a week.
I bet a LARGE number of those infected are the 1.5 million illegal immigrants from 100 countries. Finally, 1 doctor from Texas stated so. Others will follow.
If it this contagious it should (I hope and pray) burn itself out.
It would also seem that possibly it is less serious than the prior variants and the increase in hospitalizations is from volume of people getting infected but an overall small percentage of the infected are getting severe symptoms.
And we know the variant because they are processing all the samples?
Oh noes! We all goin to die! 😣
Then I must have had Covid at least 20 times over the past year and a half.
I doubt it seriously. I doubt that they performed gene sequencing to prove it. They just announced that it was the variant and everyone is to take their word for it.
The simple fact is the genetic testing necessary to differentiate the "Delta variant" from typical Covid, is expensive and not widely available.
When you hear wild claims about how wide spread the "Delta variant" is, you can be sure THEY ARE LYING TO YOU AGAIN!!!
For your consideration.
The Ohio health director is saying this.
Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’
Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’
Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’
Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’
Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Yes.’
Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’
Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’
Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’
Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’
Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’
Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’
Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.
Bud: ‘Ok.’
Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’
Bud: ‘That’s right.’
Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Certainly.’
Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’
Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’
Lou: ‘Nevermind. I’ll just put on my mask.’
Bud: ‘That’s fine.’
Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’
Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’
Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’
Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’
Bud: ‘I know.’
Lou: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’
Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’
Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’
Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’
Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’
Bud: ‘Correct.’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’
Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’
Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’
Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’
Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’
Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’
Bud: ‘Third base.’

If they’ve been unable to isolate Covid-19 nor any of it’s variants how are they able to diagnose any of them with a PCR test that has a reliability of less than 20% ?
It’s like hearing about global warming. It’s an immediate yawn.
