Thoughts on this graphic? Does it make you (re)consider your views on risk from delta variant?

Maybe I’m dense, but I’m trying to wrap my head around how rare this graphic makes breakthrough cases seem, and the hundreds of symptomatic breakthrough cases that came out of just the Provincetown cluster between now and the 4th of July...

Because it hides exposure rate. Sure, a tiny fraction of people vaccinated have been infected, but only a small fraction of everyone vaccinated over the last 7 months have been exposed to Delta so far.

An equally true statistic is that 20% of the June infections in LA County were in people already vaccinated. Even if total infection count is low, that’s a very worrying ratio when you extrapolate exposures over the total population.

What I don’t understand is why there’s now a distinction between asymptomatic and symptomatic cases. All throughout 2020 we were told that there’s no difference, even if you’re well you’re sick, but now there’s a difference?

Yeah my fully-vaccinated aunt in NM just got quarantined for 14 days due to an alleged exposure. Complete BS.

Would you care about the graph if you were in that yellow box?

There's a lot more yellow boxes in the unvaccinated graph. Also, no vaccine is 100% efficient but the MRNA vaccines have shown to have high efficiency overall.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her.

I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not?

What’s the general consensus?
