It appears to be a lot more contagious as opposed to the first 3 waves.

Before…the affected person was likely to spread to 2.5 people. Now, it’s 3.5 to 4. Not sure where they get the 0.5, but those are the numbers.

The Delta Variant is no joke. Mask up and avoid direct contact with people. Even fully vaccinated are coming in like crazy. Some are quite sick too.

Israel and the UK have done studies and the vaccines seem to loose efficacy after each month that goes by. That is really crazy. Although Israel got much lower numbers than the UK study.

The reason for the different numbers seems to be that Israel spaced the vaccine doses closer together (3 weeks) vs the UK spaced them 8 weeks apart. Seems the further apart the better for protection.

If you only received one shot you have very little protection. Definitely get the other shot if you haven’t had the virus yet.

People who were good this whole time are now rolling into the ER shocked they caught it. Best of luck!

Are you a doc?

The 0.5 part of it is due to it being a probability. If one person infects two, and another infects three, then two infected five, or one infects two point five on average. Anything that is spread on average to more than one person can grow exponentially. Anything kept below one should shrink and eventually go away.

Yes he's a RN that works in hospitals. All my nurses/drs say the same weekly. Lame media

So many questions, but I will limit it to one. How many of those patients play the hokey pokey game? People really need to turn off their television. I like you but I strongly disagree here. Never has a sequel or prequel virus been more dangerous or contagious in the history of the planet than was the original virus. It’s all propaganda. My daughter is a charge nurse in a Covid ward so I have heard it all.

Seeing as how his chosen profession is in the medical field I fail to see how this is relevant...

Seems like AMA, Mayo clinic and others disagree with you... 🤷‍♂️

Forgive my language, but how the hell can you or anyone know what the "sequels" to this virus will be like??

I didn’t say @Reefahholic needed to turn off the tv. I said people. The same people who fund the institutions that educated him find the institutions you mentioned. Soros and gates find all this nonsense. I would challenge you to prove me wrong but I’ve already received discontent pm’s from others so I will exclude myself from this conversation. I will however hold strong to my beliefs.

oh ok. While I agree they are very much involved in politics.

I guess we can agree to disagree on this. I'm not berating your position. I just don't agree with it. My cousin and his wife are both doctors and they have both said to be careful. I'm vaccinated, my wife is not. If I didn't have underlying health issues I probably would not be but here we are.

I will also say we have had two friends and two acquaintances lose their life to covid (or the symptoms) and a fifth who is a close friend who is permanently disabled from it (or the symptoms). In all five cases these were folk who had no underlying health issues prior to getting covid.

I could answer the same... prove you are right. But this is a fish forum and the OP was just posting his observations from working in the medical industry. You are entitled to your opinion. Its a free country (for now), and others are entitled to theirs as well.

Folk should be willing to post their comments here rather than PM'ing you and they definitely shouldn't be demeaning or anything like that. Let me know if they are.

All I know is I'm not vaccinated and have no antibodies or covid (checked weekly). So I cannot pass it on, maybe get it though but doubt. I've never had the flu vaccine, never had the flu. But I must admit I am different. Somehow a German man and Korean woman made an Alien with Tiger DNA!?! But yalls weight and hate in this world has broken me down and now tomorrow I go in for my 17th Stem Cell/GH/Botox surgery... I love profoval.... there's no more noise in the head.

Good luck on your surgery. I don't like propifol lol.. right before I go under my entire body feels like it is on fire and I swear I hear static electricity crackling in my head.

Eek sounds no fun. My anesthesiologist is very good. I go to sleep easy and wake up very easy.

My TV is on channel real life ER and ICU with intubated patients who are dying weekly… proned on Roto beds, with quad strength Flolan running along with Dexamethasone, Levo, and several other aggressive drugs and therapies. ECMO can’t even save most long haulers.

If you caught it and went down hill (a lot do)…and you go to a hospital, you’ll be lucky to get your treatments on time if at all at some of these facilities. Just trying to warn you because I have friends all over the area. Not really wanting to get into a big debate. Don’t have time for that. Just trying to warn my fellow reefers.

If you haven’t already had it or your not fully vaccinated It’s a lot easier to wear a N95 and try to mitigate the risk than to argue who’s right and wrong. Avoid direct contact with people.

Try hydroxiqloriquin instead. The government has outlawed its use in the fight of this virus but ironically every doctor I’ve read about using it, have a 100% survival rate.

Don’t judge me. Don’t hate on me. Take the time to research it and you will see it has a 100% survival rate even in the most extreme conditions so long as treatment is started in the early stages of contraction.

This comment is absolutely not meant to be hateful. I’m simply trying to share knowledge.

by the way, you can make hydroxiqloriquin at home by boiling lemon, orange and grapefruit peels in boiling low simmer water for 5 hours. Drink 1 cup of this juice per day as preventive measure. 1/2 gallon per day if infected with the China virus to fight the virus.

When researching this info use search engine “duck duck go” as it is not compromised by a left leaning agenda.

We were one of the 1st in the area to trial hydroxychloroquine with Covid patients and it seemed to work at first but after we gathered a lot of data it wasn’t very significant. I saw it administered and the outcomes weren’t much different.

What does work well is Ivermectin, but you won’t hear that on the news. It’s all political. What a sad world we live in.

Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and not judge. I pray to my lord and savior daily asking for an end to this evil ailment (as well as cancer). I thank you for what you do and I greatly respect your career choice. I’m sorry it appears that my opinion is negative. That by no way is my intent. I just wish the media would be more honest and better attempt to help the masses as opposed to continually promote a specific agenda.

Again, thank you for what you do.
