Is the Delta variant causing people who are fully vaccinated to disproportionately end up in the hospital with serious illness?

smart

I’d implore people who are unvaccinated, older, or immunocompromised to be extra prudent now if they are very concerned about COVID risk. They should likely avoid eating at restaurants, public gatherings, etc.

Even pre-vaccine last year, it was made abundantly clear that many folks in our society were not going to take this pandemic seriously. Now, many of us who are fully vaccinated are no longer willing to change our behavior to deal with a tiny percentage of random edge cases, let alone to protect the random idiots who are choosing to not get vaccinated. I am in that group.

So at this point, if you feel you’re at risk, it’s best that you voluntarily choose to wear a mask yourself, mitigate your own risk, and not count on the behavior of other strangers to protect you. Call that what you will, but it’s the reality.

I have the same hunch as you OP…but man it’s going to be awkward for all the companies/industries (eg banking) that have sent back to office requirements

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly.

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
