    I'd wager most vaxxed positive people arent getting tested, and the CDC doesnt seem interested in getting that data. That is, we're only testing vaxxed people who get covid bad enough.

    Also, you’re going to run into relying on self-reports of vaccine status and that can be, well, unreliable.

    A lot of people here thought it was folly to say you can ditch the mask. It seemed premature to me but I'm an idiot.

    Another misstep in communication I think. Try to incentivize people to get vaccinated and instead gave the chuds an excuse to declare Covid is over by making it harder for businesses to require masks.

    Not sure how this affects things but at home tests are really easy to get now. I took a negative at home test and didn't have anywhere to report it

    I would have thought that the evidence from the likes of the U.K. (who still have mask mandates but ballooning cases, particularly in the unvaccinated) would counter this. Here in Ireland we have seen a significant increase in Delta too (though we are behind the U.K. growth), but just 5% are fully vaccinated.

    Masks seem to be a bit of a sideshow in all of this. Vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate.

    Just like last year, I think when you're seeing a positivity rate in the double digits you're likely seeing a huge undercount.

    I hate that all the clinics around here are charging a $35 “admin fee” to get a covid test. The county health clinic you have to schedule a time and last time i checked its a pretty good wait. Sad when an at home test costs $22 with tax. Just more reason our system is fucked.

    It's only a rapid test, but I've had my daughter tested I believe three times over the past year at a half at various urgent clinics and insurance has always covered it.

    UAMS Chancellor: Hospital full, bed and staffing shortage imminent

    Health officials have been sounding the warning for weeks on the Delta variant of COVID-19, but it has yet to slow down the public health threat. Now, UAMS Chancellor Dr. Cam Patterson says the new strain of COVID-19 is overwhelming Arkansas’ health care system.

    In a tweet Saturday (July 17), Patterson said, “The hospital @uamshealth is full. COVID-19 numbers increase every day. We are staffing inpatients in the ER and recovery room. No space for transfers. Running out of caregivers. Support health care workers. Mask up. Get vaxxed.”

    Appearing on Sunday’s edition of Talk Business & Politics, Patterson said the disease is different from a year ago when the state was paralyzed by the coronavirus.

    “This is not the same virus that was going around a year ago… A year ago, the average age of a patient who was admitted to UAMS with a COVID-19 infection was in their 60’s… Now the average age is getting closer and closer to 40,” he said.

    “We’re seeing younger people. We’re seeing people who don’t have other medical problems. We’re seeing people who go straight from an initial symptom to needing mechanical ventilation. We’re seeing more patients. We’ve got more patients today requiring heart-lung bypass. And I, as I talked to my peers across the state, CEOs and leaders of other health care facilities across the state, they’re all seeing the same thing. The hospitals are full, their ERs are full. They’re seeing more patients needing ICU care. They’re seeing younger patients and it’s getting worse on a daily basis,” Patterson said.

    With school starting back in a month, elected officials seem determined to keep in-person classes intact. Patterson warns that children are especially susceptible to the new COVID strain.

    “We thought that young kids were bulletproof and that they might get COVID-19 infections, but that they might not be severe. That’s no longer the case,” he said. “Right now, there are almost as many Arkansans infected with COVID-19 who are 17 or younger than individuals who are 65 and older. So this disease clearly affects younger individuals.”

    Patterson said for children 12 and over they should get vaccinated before school starts. There is not safe vaccine for those under 12 and Patterson predicts it may be mid-winter before one emerges.

    “They [kids under 12] will remain vulnerable. That means masking for young kids. That’s going to be critical, maintaining social distance, which I know is really hard with little kids, but we’re learning some lessons this summer. We’re seeing, especially across the south in summer camps, substantial COVID-19 outbreaks and the same thing can happen in schools, if we’re not really careful,” he said.

    This Tuesday, UAMS officials will provide a new COVID-19 model for Arkansas. Patterson suggests it will be dire.

    “Our models do project that we will probably get back into the same territory that we were in in terms of total number of cases that are similar to what we saw back in February and March, which means 3,000 plus new cases identified a day,” he said.

    “The model also predicts that because this will be the Delta variant rather than the alpha variant, or the original virus, that a greater portion of individuals will require hospitalization and ICU care. So we will be at a point at our peak – if this model is correct – where we will have over 1,500 hospitalized patients in the state of Arkansas at any one time. And if that happens, that will clearly outstrip our ability to care for every patient, both COVID-19 positive and patients who are coming into the hospital for other reasons, we simply don’t have the hospital beds. And more importantly, the staff to manage that many additional patients,” Patterson said.

    Got an email today that our office manager passed away yesterday due to Covid. She had been out of the office for about a month.

    She was in her 50’s. Get vaccinated, for the love of God.

    Not sure, but she previously alluded to me that she had some health issues when we were discussing the firm’s health insurance. She never went into detail as to what those issues were, though.

    if almost everyone is vaccinated then yes, a lot of people who get sick and end up in the ICU will be vaccinated, proportionally

    Ya, thats what im saying. Israel has a very very high proportion of full vaxxed ppl, and a very low of unvaxxed. Only having that many vaxxed people in the ICU is really good, they're mixing up proportions of samples to lie about representation

    There needs to actually be three groups across the key statistics of cases, hospitalizations, icu, deaths: unvaxxed, vaxxed, vaxxed but immunocompromised.

    This is as a percentage of population, not cases. If less people are getting infected because of vaccinations, how can this stat be relevant? Honest question, maybe I’m missing something.

    the math on all this stuff is way more complicated now so have to be extra skeptical of any broad claims. its not apples to apples comps anymore in as much as it was pre-vaccine.
