essential worker and literally no one else at his job is vaccinated. They are all Trumpers and Covid hoaxers. One of his co-workers had a huge 4th of July party and my husband went, maskless, and was gone for 12 hours partying with 100s of unmasked people.

Now his mother's cousin died (who he doesn't even know, he didn't even know how she was related to him until he asked his uncle) and he's going to her funeral tomorrow. His mother had 13 brothers and sisters so there are literally dozens of cousins and relatives that will be there. His family is mostly Trumpers and unvaccinated too.

Since the CDC changed the guidelines, my husband feels he is completely safe to go anywhere without a mask because he is vaccinated. He says he can't catch Covid and he can't transmit covid. I'm immune compromised with diabetes, lupus & psoriasis and our younger son isn't vaccinated yet and he's got asthma. I am literally terrified constantly with his behavior. He acts like the vaccine is a magic shield that gives him complete protection, but I've read enough things online to know that this isn't true.

It was doubling every 8 days a couple of weeks ago. nt Phoenix61 Jul 2021 #1

As long as there is a significant amount of unvaccinated, it won't end. roamer65 Jul 2021 #24
It is scary, but at least there are things wnylib Jul 2021 #25
The variants that mutate to become more infectious push aside earlier viruses. Blue_true Jul 2021 #12
Are they able to tell from the swab test? Throck Jul 2021 #6
A ordinary swab test won't tell you - Ms. Toad Jul 2021 #11
Now the Lamda variant has entered the room luckone Jul 2021 #7
Isn't Lamba also known as Delta+? I am losing track. Blue_true Jul 2021 #13
Lambda originated in Peru. It's not the same sequence as Delta plus, which is a variant of the GPV Jul 2021 #19
Ok, thanks. Makes me glad that I am vaccinated. Blue_true Jul 2021 #26
