Some good news on vaccination. All the government generated "panic" is driving up vaccination. 30 states still below the 70% mark with 6 just above the 50% mark US hits 70% vaccination rate -- a month late, amid a surge (apnews.com) The U.S. on Monday finally reached President Joe Biden’s goal of getting at least one COVID-19 shot in the arms of 70% of American adults -- a month late and amid a fierce surge by the delta variant that is swamping hospitals and leading to new mask rules and mandatory vaccinations around the country.
Minneapolis’ famous music venue First Avenue, the night club in Purple Rain, is requiring proof or vaccination or a negative COVID test for entry. This policy also applies to other music venues that First Avenue owns. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2021/...es-vaccination-or-negative-test-for-all-shows
https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/lambda-variant-of-covid-19-might-be-resistant-to-vaccines A case of lambda variant found in patient at Houston Methodist. Indications that it is vaccine resistant.
Well, let’s hope it’s just resistance to CoronaVac (Chinese manufactured). I was reading a study yesterday that model for vaccine escape and the highest chance of a new vaccine resistance strain is in area of HIGH vaccination rate with HIGH transmission. That’s has been happening with Delta.
There was a Nepal strain floating around (Delta plus) that was reportedly vaccine resistant. They are out there and not a ******* thing we can do about it other than masking and hoping for a quick rollout of a booster shot. Sometimes politics don't really matter except in giving us the illusion of control
hearing the Zulu variant is going around, stay safe, mask up, stay inside, thank your health care heroes
Which is ironically the same justification for 20+ year multi trillion dollar wars on terror and an intelligence apparatus that watches over us like God but far more creepier. Human nature is grand. Though in this case, I'd trust science more than distrusting ferriners and bad gais.
