Good luck being in the control group.

The new data coming in is starting to align around Delta being fundamentally different than the previous variants and merits different public health mitigations in response.

The USA is now approximately where the UK was a little over a month ago with the delta variant. We could easily quadruple like them in the next month... We are about a week from leaving the "under control" part of the curve...

Decent vet add. Hopefully, he doesn't have to see the field much.

Totally agree and since there is no farm league coupled with how minimal the pay is on the PS I think it is just good business to keep more players to develop.

Seems about right...

That data is available... TLDR: Get both shots. Some good data on the efficacy of vaccines vs the Alpha and Delta variants: https://www.ft.com/content/5a24d39a-a702-40d2-876d-b12a524dc9a5 https://archive.fo/SKUeg

It is a point shaving system to try to continue to eek out control with their declining demographics. They are getting more extreme to try to keep the numbers working in their favor as they approach the cliff...

I have been on a large capital project for the last 3 years, and I recall on oversea vender trips several of my older divorced colleges talking about divorce. The biggest laugh line was: "Do you know why divorce is so expensive? Because it is worth it!" Words of wisdom from ~60 year old engineers... I hope to avoid that expense...

The Netherlands is another cautionary case study: They went from ~550 cases/day 2.5 weeks ago to almost 11,000 yesterday.

What many people do not understand is a doubling of R0 is not a linear effect, it is exponential. Or even if they understand that term, they do not comprehend how that actually plays out in real time. The slopes of the curves in many countries right now are sharply up. The UK's case load is up 25x in 8 weeks and they are similarly vaccinated as the US... This is likely going to get ugly over the next 1-3 months... My governor (Dewine - OH) just banned schools from mandating Covid vaccines...yeah, that will help. 🙄
