IT WAS A RAGING PANDEMIC

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

Today's update on SF/@UCSF numbers. Bottom line –huge increase in cases & test positivity. Hospitalizations still pretty benign (though early signs of an uptick). Most remarkable stat is our asymptomatic test positivity rate (ATPR) @UCSFHospitals – now ~7%, or ~1-in-14.(1/16)

Hate to see it

Also, clearly seasonal now. Makes you wonder.

We know the COVID vaccines are effective but these numbers still surprised me. Get vaxxed. via @nytimes

Taking care of a vaccinated person who is now dealing w having covid a SECOND TIME. I’m sick of this.

[Matt Sandel @mj_sandel]

Vaccine efficacy before and after delta - it still works, but perhaps less

[Matt Sandel @mj_sandel]

You can maybe see the same thing in the data for NY and CT but definitely not for PA or DE. So - anyone’s ball game.

[Matt Sandel @mj_sandel]

Maybe a plateau?

I have to keep hearing iterations of this speech again and again and I’m tired of it.

[David Begnaud @DavidBegnaud]

In 4 minutes & 15 seconds, Dr. Catherine O’Neal states the dire situation in Louisiana at the state’s largest hospital in Baton Rouge. Spoiler alert: she says non Covid infected people are being severely impacted by the inaction of others who won’t mask up, & get vaccinated.

I saw what’s inside the secure shredding box.

Just a trashbin.

I feel like it is a race against the clock to get New Jersey and surrounding states vaccinated before cookout weather.

Diverting funding from basic research to clinical translation.

[Matt Sandel @mj_sandel]

As someone who is finally starting to relax a little, I urge the folks who views it as time to go wild to moderate their views with stuff like this in mind. Everybody needs their chance to get vaccinated.

[Sarah Bowen @sarahkbowen1]

Emily Oster's analysis has annoyed me throughout the pandemic, but this one takes the cake. NOT ONCE in this article does she consider the possibility that unvaccinated kids could spread infections to the (hotel, restaurant, theme park) workers who make these vacations possible.
