Why it could become far less deadly? We already know it is far less deadly.

Hmm well let’s see. 2/3 the peak infections.. but not even a 10th of the deaths.. and nation is about 60-70% vaccinated.

But it’s the vaccines that are lowering the death rates?!?!

Bullspit.

Would expect 200 ish deaths a day if the vaccines were the reason.. fact it’s lower than that means either this strain is less deadly or our treatment methods have gotten better

Uh....because the number of places that can actually differentiate the Delta variant is about 5 % of the typically unreliable PCR testing locations?

Mike Rowe said the following:

The fact is, millions of reasonable Americans have every right to feel confused and skeptical. Those people you refer to, Steve – the ones now telling us that we can “get back to normal just as soon as everyone is vaccinated” – those are the same people who said, “two weeks to flatten the curve!”

Those are the same people who told us that masks were “useless” before they told us they were “critical.”

Those are the same people who told us that a return to normalcy would occur just as soon as “the most vulnerable” among us were vaccinated. Then, just as soon as “half the population” was vaccinated.

Then, just as soon as we achieved “herd immunity.” Those are the same people who told us they wouldn’t trust ANY vaccine developed under the last administration.

Now, those very same people are belittling the skeptics!

More tests more cases...in Florida it is cover cases on the tv....so everyone runs out and gets tested...

School started here last Tuesday guess what they test all the kids more cases...

The girl down the street test positive...but was not sick..ten others in the class tested pos...have no idea if any were sick or not

Guess the number of kids under sixteen who have died from March 1,2020..TEN

It’s welcome to become less deadly any time. I have been waiting for the Worldometer Daily New Deaths graph to reverse course in response to all the “less deadly” news, but it keeps going up.

And yet again, they fail to count the individuals who recovered from the virus and have natural antibodies.

And most of them were immuno-compromised or had serious medical conditions.

The Delta variant test is specialized, and very expensive. Is this so hospitals can make more money?

It’s a lot of things. Vaccines are protecting the group that’s most vulnerable - the elderly. Treatments HAVE gotten a lot better. And younger, presumably healthier people are getting sick - while some get hospitalized and some even die, most have milder cases or, if hospitalized, stay a shorter time and don’t progress to ICU or ventilators.

the governments across the pond didn’t open their border with mexico and distribute hundreds of thousands of disease carrying invaders across their country during a so called “global pandemic”...

why should we believe anything you or our government preaches about stopping the spread of anything at this point in time?...

It’s nothing to worry about unless we see the really bad people dying. DOJ criminals, fed police state thugs, communist politicians, fake media stars.

...or many people (like my wife and I and a number of our friends and relatives - unvaxxed - have had Covid and are now immune if the past is any indication of the future).

Governments across the pond don't have a border with Mexico.

And the U.S. didn't "open the(ir) border," with Mexico it's been open for more than 20 years. The only two times in recent memory that it slowed down were in the 2008/9 economic crash and the height of the pandemic.

No president or Congress slowed it down.
