Let's see how your "natural antibodies" are making you invinsible. If you look at the data some 90% of hospitalized patients are unvaccinated.

I wasn't talking about "natural antibodies" so I'm not sure what you're referring to with what I posted. If you look back, my post was about careless behavior leading to a spike in cases. Acting the fool isn't just limited to unvaxxed people.

No you keep trying to minimized the effectiveness of the vaccine with your roundabout method. Yes the vaccine isn't 100% but as stated above there is a huge difference in hospitalization and contracting the virus up to 40% in the worst cases.

Great post...  this was the info I was referring to in one of my earlier posts where I read last week that the UK was projecting better than they had at any point since the pandemic started and they cited it was due to their 70+% vaccination rate at the time i read the article.  If there is no greater indicator of their efficacy, there you have it.

And I agree that there is hesitancy that doesn't fall in line with any specific political ideology, but the more vocal and blatant voices I hear and see on social media about not masking up or getting the vaccine are uber conservative.  But then I also have friends who are hesitant about getting the vaccine but take the other precautions, and I sense theirs is just simply a distrust of gov't, which I understand and empathize with, but there is enough data out there that proves regardless of government, country, etc., the vaccines work.

There are also ongoing studies in Iceland where the vaccination rate is very high, over 70%. Add in those with natural antibodies from surviving a COVD infection and about 80%- 85% of the population are protected. They have a wave of the delta variant but few hospitalizations and no deaths since May.

Jeremy, I hope your youngsters recover well and the entire family stays safe.

I'm not minimizing the effectiveness. I'm saying 5000 people getting together for a concert shoulder to shoulder is foolish even if the majority are vaccinated. People out here are acting like it's not a big deal and it is. Ignorance in large numbers is still Ignorance. While a lesser % may actually get really sick, just the sheer number being foolish increases the chance of more being hospitalized.

I myself just got a call last night that my youngest child’s daycare is shut down due to a covid outbreak. 
 

My wife is a teacher and today marks my oldest child’s first day of kindergarten, needless to say I’m a nervous wreck at the moment. 

We’ve got kindergarten in a week. Feels like a given that we are just sending him out to get covid. I feel like I’m going to puke.

If it's like the flu spread during flu season the schools will be a breeding ground for this delta virus.  I'm so glad my sons are out of school now.

Same... I have a kid starting kindergarten and there is just no way you stop them from taking off mask and being safe...it's like your just waiting on them to bring it home like chicken pox or some bug.

Home schooling seems like your answer...

Didn't we learn from last season it's not like the flu in those regards? There were certain constituents saying hey its like the flu it will die from the heat or dry air.. cold or something and that really didn't have an effect at all.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
