(25,662 posts)are vaccinated. When you add in children who are too young for vaccination, the percent of the total vaccinated population drops to 45. Yet nobody wears masks in public places.
Buffalo is an easy drive away and people from here go there daily for shopping and medical appointments. The Buffalo area cases are rising quickly. Although not yet at the rate of last winter, they are now reporting 48 new cases per day. Delta has been confirmed there, and probably responsible for the rising rate.
So I am sure that delta has been carried here by now. Infections in my area have been gradually increasing after a drop following vaccination availability. The drop, I believe, was due to the vaccines and their effectiveness against the alpha variant. Delta is beginning to change the picture.
So I am masking everywhere I go.
