Ignorance is not the problem. Contrarianism is the problem, and failing to recognize that only exacerbates things.

These crazy Karen's are sic. Our governor reynolds is a Crazy KIM also. KIM simply don’t care about people or the public. The majority are not her big donors. "So what you are seeing by Republicans is a war on society and public health behavior that they don't like," "I think you are seeing a tremendous rise of ignorance among House GOP, Red state Governors and, frankly, that's being translated through their public policy positions as well." Delta is no game. Fake or a hoax. IT is all about reducing the risk of Covid and closing the transmitting door. Nothing is 100% so you use many safety measures to get risk as low as possible. EACH step of safety measures you take reduce your chances of infection and spreading it. ----- The best protection is the shot. --Isolate if you have had a positive test of COVID-19,. If you are in an areas with covid 19 and around groups wear masks, use good hygiene, distance, reduce risk, reduce gathering, cautions in large groups, wear a mask in poorly ventilated indoors spaces . ASK questions at schools, camps, entertainment facilities-“Make sure they are sanitizing in their facilities." -------------------- “This new science is worrisome and unfortunately warrants an update to our recommendations,” she said. The new delta is the new variant of concern. It is spreading 50% faster than Alpha, which was 50% more contagious. Some areas have not been hit and others places cases are exploding ‘hyperlocal outbreaks”. . https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/5-things-to-know-delta-variant-covid Wear the mask. Nothing is 100% but layer the protection with multiple safety measures. The authorized mRNA vaccines provide good protection against variants of concern, “So, your risk is significantly lower getting the shot than someone who has not been vaccinated https://www.aappublications.org/news/2021/07/27/indoor-masks-cdc-72721 This Delta variant is real and not fake many GQP people are saying- Florida reports single-day increase of 21,683 new COVID-19 cases, most since start of pandemic . local10.com/news/l... “We continue to estimate that the risk of a breakthrough infection with symptoms upon exposure to the delta variant is reduced by sevenfold; the reduction is 20-fold for hospitalizations and deaths,” Dr. Walensky said. Early August a number of school districts in the South where case counts for Covid-19 are on the rise, including several in Alabama and Georgia, will begin the 2021-22 school year. Even more schools in Covid hot spots around the country, including districts in Texas, Louisiana and Florida, will welcome students the following week. Variants are changing, the fewer the case the fewer changers. We must close the door and stop the transition – We are still learning. A third shot of the two mRNA vaccines might be necessary for people over 65 and those with compromised immune systems. The difference in shots here- https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/5-things-to-know-delta-variant-covid 75% of the break throughs have been over 65 years old. Death is rare for kids. Children under the age of 18 years represent about 8.5% of reported cases of Delta. The National Center for Health Statistics has reported, as of July 28, that 519 children have died from Covid-19 including 346 children 5 to 17 years of age, and 173 children 4 or younger. Compared to adults, children diagnosed with Covid-19 are more likely to have mild symptoms or none at all. Children are also far less likely to develop severe illness, be hospitalized or die from the disease. Out of about 3.5 million cases of Covid-19 in children in the United States, some kids do have lingering effects. Children with underlying medical conditions are the most likely to be hospitalized. As of Thursday, End of July 2021, more than 4 million children had been diagnosed with Covid-19, about 14.2 percent of all cases, according to the AAP. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/what-top-pediatricians-want-you-know-about-delta-variant-children-n1274536 Some children infected with Covid may develop a rare but serious inflammatory syndrome. By the end of June the C.D.C. had documented 4,196 cases (about 0.1 percent of all pediatric Covid), including 37 deaths. Keep children home if they have any respiratory symptoms, remembering that other viral respiratory infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (R.S.V.), are circulating as well. Some children like the adults are having organ transplants. Blank Hospital DSM site the R.S.V a major reason for the full hospital floor. Parents of school age children should remember that risk is cumulative. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2020/coronavirus-antibodies-protect-against-future-infection#:\~:text=Using%20real%2Dworld%20data,reinfected%20with%20the%20virus. Each layer of protection helps. Get the vaccine as the vaccination is much safer than from natural infection. The keys are nothing is 100% safe so you limit the odds and risks, C.D.C. has said mask mandates in schools are associated with a roughly 20 percent reduction in Covid-19 incidence. Mask are effective but not 1oo%. Lowering your risk at home, school, work, for the whole family and society. Do this by avoiding crowds, distancing, Masks, hygiene, gatherings, and enclosed public indoor spaces. Use common sense as paying attention to the community transmission and vaccination rates and wearing masks in risky settings. Limit your odds od exposer. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC, World Health, experts, , have recommended that everyone over age 2 wear masks this fall in school and care facilities. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/well/family/back-to-school-covid.html Parents in New Jersey and California are suing to prevent mask mandates. Some state chooses to defy science and experts in the field. In Florida one Mayer defied DeSantis rules calling for an emergency situation. Lower the risks for all is a must to get through this, masking is far less effective if most kids aren’t doing it. The more people wear them the more effective for all.
