A co-worker of mine, in his 30's and fully vaxxed just got over a breakthrough case after a week [View all]

off of work and feeling like shit, I just found out.

I knew he was out sick and guessed it might be the Rona, but just got confirmation. Don't have any more details yet but I know he pulled through well enough to be back at work (edit: back working from home I should've said) after 1 week off, and that he was feeling real bad but didn't have to go to the hospital. Believe he got his shots around may/june like I did.

Guy is hella smart, healthy lifestyle, and a Trump-hating liberal like all of us. Still got it.

Just thought I'd share.

I think we all will get exposed to the virus. Texaswitchy Aug 2021 #2

I see no way we won't all get it. Johonny Aug 2021 #17

Yes. Texaswitchy Aug 2021 #22

Our entire office has been work from home since April 2020, and remains so Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #5

Scary stuff. My cousin and wife went out last November, both got it. He made it through. She didn't. Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #23

There was an article in the Connecticut paper about how the elderly Tomconroy Aug 2021 #9

The national average vaccination rate of residents is 81%. Maru Kitteh Aug 2021 #13

We formally start back in person tomorrow - Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #18

That's a bummer you have to go back to the 'office' tomorrow! Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #19

I've been back and teaching in person for more than a year. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #21

Yup. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #27

My problem is the rest of us they are going to take out with them. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #29

Probably so. At 1,000 times more transmissable, Delta probably will infect most of them. Keep us Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #30

It's actually only about 4 times more transmissible. Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #34

I like your numbers better. Good explanation. Thanks Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #37

I was glad to find an R0 number Ms. Toad Aug 2021 #38

And the efficacy of Phizer and Moderna with the variant is ___? Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #40
