That should be a lot easier with this new mRNA technology.
I’m sticking with my initial prediction that this becomes endemic, at least in the US. Less that 70% vaxxed here, maybe 5% of America is going to get the Delta DLC. Only bright spot is that this thing mutates very slowly imo.
I just don’t see endemic happening until it shows it can re-infect efficiently. I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think that if it can re-infect then higher R0s mean it’s more likely to burn out than become endemic so long as it can’t re-infect.
I would bet at least half of the fully vaxxed people would get a booster either this fall/winter or if it were shown that there was a more pressing need sooner than that.
Went to three stores, Costco, Safeway, and a snobby local store, and the farmer’s market to day. Almost no masks at the market and snobby store, maybe 30% at Safeway, and about 50-70% at Costco. Public opinion around here has shifted quickly into “pandemic over” territory. Thankfully Oregon’s statewide case load and daily new cases are both trending down still.
So my partner who had her second jab on the 24th of the 5th just got an official positive covid test and has pretty severe symptoms. I’ve only had one jab and I slept in the same bed as her (brag) through the first few days of symptoms because I figured it can’t be covid it must be a cold and yet I just tested negative. Explain that one nerds. Seriously please explain it because wtf!?
Out of interest did you both have same vaccine and did you both have same type of test? - you state her’s was an official test but I’m guessing you just had the flow test (gives a false negative with delta 30-60% of the time so schools send the kids for a PCR despit a negative flow test
