I think the data from the UK, at least in terms of the vaccine preventing serious illness and death, is about as conclusive as it gets.

To clarify, I understand the point you are making on the hospitalization numbers. If 100% of people are vaccinated, of course 100% of hopsitalized people are going to be vaccinated. There's plenty of anti-vax people spreading misinformation on hospitalization numbers that clearly don't understand how the math works (or those that are doing it for darker reasons). I think the latest report out of the UK is 40% of hospitalized patients are vaccinated, which on the surface would seem about what to expect given that the oldest population, even if vaccinated, would still be the age group with the highest percentage of people requiring hospitalization. However I saw that number being used throughout Twitter yesterday saying it's proof that the vaccines don't do anything, which as we both know is absurd.
My concern out of the Israel data is that for those over 20 years of age, the % of cases lines up with the % vaccinated. I.E., in the 40-49 age range, if 80% of people are vaccinated, 80% of cases have the past couple weeks have been in vaccinated people. I would expect at least some statistical difference there. Perhaps that's skewed by parents catching it from unvaccinated children, thus skewing the numbers there? Not sure, but it is something worth watching. It is encouraging that despite their recent increase, it's still a very small "wave" there up to this point. Which if the vaccine is still highly effective against severe illness in delta, which it certainly seems to be, then we really don't care much about cases in vaccinated people at all. The only concern then would be them being able to spread it to unvaccinated people.
Yep. I'm with her.Gov Ivey calling out the unvaxxed today
6 total. So far.Yep. I'm with her.
I have 2 coworkers positive as of today and potentially 2 more.
I don't think any are vaxxed
Were any of you vaccinated?I'm on day 9 in the ICU at Redmond in Rome GA. Sunday/Monday a week ago DR's told my family that I might not make it. Double Covid pneumonia is not easy to clear up and I'm still having a difficult time breathing. I have been on a high flow mask receiving 7L of HF oxygen with the machine set on 100%. I have zero pre existing conditions to boot.
My adventures started the Tuesday after July 4th. My wife was diagnosed and I didn't take it serious. 3 days later I had a average high temp of 102+. And health was dwindling fast.
Long of the short, my Wife, her mother and myself have all been admitted to ICU with my stay being the longest so far.

Get well soon.
I tested positive today. No symptoms and vaccinated but due to an outbreak at work we were all asked to get tested.
So here I sit at home....
Do you know if you had a PCR or rapid antigen test for your positive result? Sorry to hear you popped positive. I'm sure that must be extremely frustrating considering you're vaccinated and the outbreak at work was introduced by those who were not vaccinated.
Hopefully no symptoms will occur and you'll test negative soon.
