So the CDC finished a year long study and it's fairly interesting in the data gathered in regards to underlying medical conditions and preventing chronic disease:
Which is important to note because in another thread I posted potential problems with vaccines........important to be able to weigh out that information. IMO the vaccine is a better deal.

Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Florida on Wednesday reported 12,647 new cases of COVID-19, the highest daily number of cases since late January, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The last time that Florida topped this number was Jan. 30, when it logged 14,654 cases. The U.S. registered 55,132 cases on Wednesday, meaning that Florida’s daily count made up about 23 percent of new cases reported by the CDC for that day. -snip
DeSantis has vowed to fight this by doing nothing. No lockdowns, no distancing, no masks mandates, in his own words: “We’re not doing that in Florida. Ok? We need our kids to breathe." -Gov. Ron DeSantis
I’m in Britain, although a lot of people still wear masks and socially distance, most people who work at the shops and pubs are saying, “you don’t need to wear it” and you might be thinking that’s weird. Well, most of us have taken the vaccinations and we’re not infected or infecting others. I think the pandemic is in its November years. It’s almost over!

In SW MO we are at 310 beds between two hospital systems managing IC, which last year we had relatively few beds used at any given time say 25-50 between the two large hospitals.
So while we did FAR better than national averages last year this year we are in the shitter for the national averages with covid d variant.
The UK is at a 54% vaccination rate, that's still 46% that are not, which the Delta variant can rip through as it's more easily transferable. Hopefully not.
dude, children and young adults like me are low risk. It’s people in their 80s and little children who’re high risk. Having said that, I’ve been vaccinated.

The Delta variant is more of an all-age-groups variant of the virus. Look what it did to India and it's believed India has unreported their numbers as to not look inept.
Ashley Moody, the Republican attorney general of Florida, tweeted on Wednesday that she has tested positive for COVID-19.
The news of Moody's positive test comes four days after she flew on the state plane with Republicans Governor Ron DeSantis and Senate President Wilton Simpson to the U.S.-Mexico border in Del Rio, Texas for a press conference with Republican Governor Greg Abbott.
Yes, but the takeaway is that she got it while in close contact with DeSantis at his Texas border publicity stunt for his 2024 presidential campaign, which was more important than attending to the multiple crises in Florida.
73K New COVID Hospitalization in FL, 6X Last Month
Florida's COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases again jumped significantly this week as the vaccination rate in rural counties where some of the worst outbreaks are occurring remains well below the state and national averages.
About 5,300 Floridians are now hospitalized with COVID, a 65% jump since last week and nearly a tripling since June 14th when 1,845 were hospitalized, the Florida Hospital Association said. Officials have said more than 95% of those hospitalized were not vaccinated.
More than 73,000 new coronavirus cases were reported statewide over the past week, according to the state health department, nearly seven times the 12,000 reported a month ago.
Red States Cut Back Reporting as New Cases Skyrocket
Several states scaled back their reporting of COVID-19 statistics this month just as cases across the country started to skyrocket, depriving the public of real-time information on outbreaks, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in their communities.
The shift to weekly instead of daily reporting in Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota marked a notable shift during a pandemic in which coronavirus dashboards have become a staple for Americans closely tracking case counts and trends to navigate a crisis that has killed more than 600,000 people in the U.S.
Florida, which changed the frequency of its virus reporting earlier this month, now makes up up one-fifth of the country's new coronavirus infections.
There's a trend forming with Rightist warping reality again, where it was actually the Democrats and the Biden admin who cast doubts on the vaccines and downplayed the seriousness of covid19, and that people should not feat taking the 'Trump vaccine".
This spinning is all groundwork for the 2022 elections.
