How worried should vaccinated folks living in urban areas (read high vaccination rate areas) be about the delta and other variants?

You’ll have a higher probability of getting sick but you likely won’t go to the hospital. You can carry it and spread it to vaccinated and unvaccinated. If you have kids, take the proper precautions to protect them. More and more kids are going to the hospital in Florida with Covid now. The spread of the original virus was 1 person gets sick and spreads it to 2 people. Delta is 1 person gets sick and spreads it to 9.

M1, not according to peer reviewed studies and literature.

Assuming deaths is a proxy for other serious impacts of COVID - which makes sense in this context given the purpose of the vaccine - I'd say your personal worry should be low.

Most of these states have >50% vaccinated. So that would make the graphic even more impactful.

I live in one of the most vaccinated counties (suburbs north of DC) in America and we still have to wear masks and such. I’d say you’re fine if you already live in a place with a high vaccination rate they’re probably already requiring additional precautions and such.
