On the face of it, it seems that we have been fortunate with the #OmicronVariant of the #Coronavirus in that it seems to be less lethal than the last major one, the #DeltaVariant. However, the more it is allowed to circulate amongst the population, particularly the unvaccinated, the more generations it will go through and the more chances it will get to mutate into a form which both evade contemporary treatments and is more deadly. We're witnessing #Darwinian #evolution in action but we needn't be passive observers in this battle. It makes sense both on an individual and societal level to get #vaccinated, interestingly from both a selfish and altruistic standpoint.

Please be safe, and mask up!

The Delta coronavirus variant surging across the United States appears to cause more severe illness and spread as easily as chickenpox, according to an internal document from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The document -- a slide presentation -- outlines unpublished data that shows fully vaccinated people might spread the Delta variant at the same rate as unvaccinated people.

The CDC has issued new guidelines suggesting that people resume wearing masks indoors as COVID cases rise worldwide.

Delta’s here; I’m vaccinated; how cautious should I be? | MIT Medical

When designating a “variant of concern,” the WHO and CDC look for specific mutations that might cause that variant to be more transmissible, more severe, more likely to evade the protection conferred by prior infection or vaccination, and/or more difficult to treat or diagnose. Delta checks off at least two of those boxes in a big way.

CDC Reverses Mask Mandate For Vaccinated — Here's Why

"Nobody wants to go backward, but you have to deal with the facts on the ground, and the facts on the ground are that it's a pretty scary time, and there are a lot of vulnerable people," Robert Wachter, chairman of the department of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco told the outlet. "I think the biggest thing we got wrong was not anticipating that 30% of the country would choose not to be vaccinated."

Pfizer’s shot remains strong against disease, but Israeli data raise the prospect of it waning against infection.

Because of a small sample size and other factors, a large range of uncertainties flank the new findings. The vaccine’s strength against severe disease remains high.
