Be nice to Zonies. They hosted a lot of SoCal soccer during the Newsom lock down. Plus most of them spend part of the year in SoCal.
Old OB bumper sticker reads "Zonies go home but leave your daughters". (Or was it dollars?)

That has never stopped you before.Interesting. Silver says 5 groups, so you read that as 3.
That level of innumeracy pervades covid discussion.
That one.What world is CNN portraying?
This..It seems there are two worlds in the US...the one portrayed by CNN and reality.
Funny thing is that variants have been right around the corner since before mankind.Fully vaccinated people who get a Covid-19 breakthrough infection can transmit the virus, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
"Our vaccines are working exceptionally well," Walensky told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death -- they prevent it. But what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission." ((Not good folks. The only people I know who are sick, have blood clots and feel pissed off and scared all at once atr those with two or more jabs))
'Next variant is just around the corner' ((Oh boy, this is never going to end. This is hell))
Getting more people vaccinated won't just help crush this surge, experts say. It will help prevent other -- potentially even more aggressive -- variants from arising in the future.
"The next variant is just around the corner, if we do not all get vaccinated," Adm. Brett Giroir, the former coronavirus testing czar under President Donald Trump, told CNN's Chris Cuomo.
It's starting to concern me now Bruddah. I have friend whose wife works for big pharma. She makes $250,000. Her husband will not get the vax. She told him jab or divorce. She is freaking out because this will be her third divorce and he always used to obey her. Not this time. He listen to crush's advice. My advice, to be very clear, is to question everything and do your own research. After the research, decide for yourself what is best for you and you only. She is actually blaming me for forcing him not to take it. She's a nut job and all about her blood thinner bonus. They both had some money and sign prenup so all is not lost. My pal told me this all happen on Monday and was embarrassed to share with me until today.Funny thing is that variants have been right around the corner since before mankind.

Sir or Madam:
Travis Gibson reports rises in the absolute numbers of hospitalized patients in Florida – rises due principally to the Delta variant afflicting unvaccinated Floridians (“Florida hospital CEOs tell DeSantis what they are seeing during latest COVID-19 spike,” August 4). Without context, these numbers might be alarming.
But a competent reporter gives context, which Mr. Gibson doesn’t here do. So let me help.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Project Public Data Hub, as of today (August 5th) 15.85 percent of all hospital beds in Florida for inpatients remain unoccupied, and 11.32 percent of ICU beds remain unoccupied. While these numbers tell us little about the future – or about the situation at any particular medical-care facility – they do help to calm fears created by the possible misimpression that the Delta variant is now causing Florida’s hospitals to be generally overrun with patients.

One of the key parts of the article above. @dad4 and other people with the phobia take note....The Delta Variant Decoupling in Spain and the Illogic of Vaccine Passports Data and Analysis by José Gefaell
The relevant factor for determining transmission potential is the presence of symptoms, however mild they may be (fever, persistent cough, loss of taste or smell, etc.). We must stop obsessing about asymptomatic COVID-19 infections. We do not do this with any other endemic pathogen, and there is no utility for it in public health.
Symptomatic people should be advised to stay home, whether vaccinated or not. It’s nonsensical to propose a harmful, restrictive mandate to force quarantine of the few who will choose to go out anyway.
Like lockdowns and restrictions on the movements of healthy people, COVID-19 vaccine passports will be a counterproductive measure, not only economically and socially, but for the control of the disease as well.
Nice work Hound but it's all for nothing bro. I super appreciate all the graphs and stats from you and Grace and Bruddah. Were past all that. The variant around the corner is where all eyes should be.One of the key parts of the article above. @dad4 and other people with the phobia take note....
"Given that Delta comprises roughly 90% of cases in Spain, this CFR reduction suggests that the current Delta variant is likely less lethal than previous phenotypes.
It also suggests that a substantial degree of natural immunity exists in the younger and unvaccinated populations.
Therefore, we are likely in the endemic phase of COVID-19."
That should make gas cheaper for everyone else.2. Climate News
-President Biden unveiled another piece of his administration's plan to fight the climate crisis, announcing a new target that half of vehicles sold in the US by 2030 will be battery electric, fuel-cell electric or plug-in hybrid. Biden said the future of American car manufacturing "is electric and there's no turning back."
Shocking isn't it? Of course we knew all of this in May of 2020.One of the key parts of the article above. @dad4 and other people with the phobia take note....

The definition of variant in the English dictionary: a way of writing a word which is used by some people as an alternative to the standard or generally accepted form.
What is a variant in medical terms you might ask?
(VAYR-ee-unt) Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Variants may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.
