In reply to the discussion: Gamma variant could have 'high attack rate even in fully vaccinated people' - new study (UK: Express [View all]tanyev
(42,549 posts)28. Yep. I walked out of a dance class at a rec center last week.
I'd signed up for it in June, when numbers were still looking good and not many people had registered. As I drove to the first session I was debating with myself how many unmasked it would take for me to be uncomfortable enough to leave. I was planning to wear an N95. Had, in fact, done a few online sessions at home with a mask on to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. My dilemma was easily solved when I stepped in and saw over 20 people in the room and the only mask was the one on my face. I stayed long enough to hear the teacher's introductory spiel and get my name on the class email list and then I got the heck out of there.

You've heard of the Gamma variant for ages, but by its more common name (P.1 aka Brazilian variant)

I have always used the Pango names, not the Greek letters, BUT Delta has changed it for me

Please read my post #27 and others from informed posters on this thread, rather than freak out.
