In reply to the discussion: This 900-person delta cluster in Mass. has CDC freaked out--74% are vaccinated [View all]Celerity
(54,463 posts)fucked. The vax levels just are too low, and you have tens of millions in the US who are WILFULLY courting disaster, pandemic-wise, just to fuck up the Democrats and usher in (so they think) a new era and regime of theocratic-backed white nationalism.
The world is going to fuck about, and somewhere, sometime, somehow, a VOHC (Variant of High Consequence) may get spun up I fear. If even vaxxed people are rolling at 67 to 80% efficacy (and decreasing over time) against infection (the number I focus on becuase it is the ultimate gauge of containment) from Delta, that means the virus is still more than viable, still reproducing, and thus able to continue to mutate. Hopefully Delta is a fast exploder/fast burnout.
IF that (a VOHC) is formed, we all are fucked in one way or another, whether it is due to direct disease, or a true economic collapse. I do risk analysis and prevention as part of my sphere of duty at my firm. I have been focused on this for ages now (not for my work, I mean when sharing info and discussing COVID). I SO hope we never see a VOHC from COVID-19.
