Big Blitz Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Australia fights to contain COVID-19 breakouts as experts warn of dangerous pandemic phase CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia was battling to contain several COVID-19 clusters around the country on Monday in what some experts have described as the nation’s most dangerous stage of the pandemic since the earliest days. Sydney in the east and Darwin in the north were locked down on Monday. Perth in the west made masks compulsory for three days and warned a lockdown could follow after a resident tested positive after visiting Sydney more than a week ago. Brisbane and Canberra have or will soon make wearing masks compulsory. South Australia state announced new statewide restrictions from Tuesday. Authorities warned that a two-week Sydney lockdown that began on Friday would not reduce infection rates for another five days. https://on.mktw.net/3y06149 Another dangerous phase!!

Big Blitz Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Some red states saw their economies recover from pandemic lows, and it shows how complicated reopening is (Lol it is if you're low info) Some red states have seen their economies come roaring back, Politico reported. Meanwhile, states like New York and Massachusetts continue to remain well below pre-pandemic levels. Utah and Idaho are the only two states above their pre-pandemic levels of employment. Utah's economy came roaring back and then some from pandemic devastation. Meanwhile states like New York, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Nevada continue to lag far behind their February 2020 economies. That's according to an index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, which tracks improvements and declines across four major economic measures in each state. As of April, at least 12 states have registered gains since February 2020. That indicates that their economies have not only fully recovered, but are showing gains and even growth. As Politico's Rebecca Rainey and Eleanor Mueller reported in an analysis, states led by Republicans may be faring better in economic recovery. For instance, Utah's recovery has blown other states out of the water, according to the Philadelphia Fed index. Idaho also follows Utah in seeing robust recovery and growth. https://www.businessinsider.com/red-states-saw-their-economies-recover-fast-from-pandemic-lows-2021-6 Stunning!

Big Blitz Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 WHO says delta variant of COVID means even vaccinated people should keep wearing face masks, as more Asian cities lock down The World Health Organization is emphasizing its position that even fully vaccinated people should continue to wear face masks in public given the risk presented by the delta variant of the coronavirus-borne illness COVID-19, which is currently racing across the world. WHO officials have said the delta variant, now present in 92 countries, has the potential to become more lethal than others, because of the ease with which it is transmitted. https://on.mktw.net/3h21ZCx Sooooo......the virus is not anymore lethal.

The Pfizer vaccine is 88% effective against the variant according to the article while the Astrozeneca vaccine is only 60% effective. The mRNA vaccines (pfizer and moderna) have been resilient against all the variants. The most vulnerable people in the US received those vaccines. Only 150 of the approximately 180,000 (.08%) Covid deaths occurred among the fully vaccinated in the US in May. Those are incredible numbers so unless something changes then there's no need at all to require mask mandates or lockdowns. If unvaccinated people want to continue to die from Covid it's on them since the shots are available free of cost right now. 2 1

"Of those who were fully vaccinated who caught the Delta variant, 50 died, data from Public Health England that was published on Friday indicated. The figure represents almost half of the total 117 deaths associated with the variant in the UK, where Delta now represents most cases." Most of those deaths were in the elderly. So absolutely the vaccine helps. And also absolutely, people who are unvaccinated are the ones spreading to those elderly by and large. The idea of herd immunity is to make a herd of immune people to protect the vulnerable. Not make a herd of younger people who can protect themselves while a herd of carriers get the disease to propagate to the unprotected older people. Mask mandates and lockdowns are another issue. They shouldn't have ever been put in place. At the same time, the solution to protect our vulnerable is here. Vaccines. Edited June 29, 2021 by John Adams

You seem to be ignoring the data that just .08% of the Covid deaths in the US in May were among those fully vaccinated and that the most widely used vaccine in the UK is the Astrozenaca one which is inferior to Pfizer and Moderna when it comes to protecting against variants. I wish everyone got the vaccine. Society still should do everything they can to get the movable middle to get vaccinated (preferably with the mRNA vaccines given their effectiveness against variants so far). It's not necessary just looking at the data to force vaccinations at this point in the US.
