Total Vaccine Doses Delivered: 927,000 (OK) (1,000 J&J - first tiny delivery in about three weeks)
Administered: 599,000 (Weak, but becoming the new norm) (39,000 J&J - Weak)
People Vaccinated, First Shot: 294,000 (Weak = new normal).
Fully Vaccinated: 325,000 (Weak - but the new norm)
% Total Population with at least a First Shot: 55.4% (up 0.1)
Those ≥ 18 Years of Age (Adults): 67.5% (up 0.1)
Those ≥ 65 Years of Age: 88.7 % (up 0.1) (79% Fully Vaccinated - up 0.1)
New Cases upward significantly for the second day on this report (over 26K) - the highest in six weeks. Hospitalizations are climbing slowly.
320 Deaths (also seems to be starting to head back up).
The pop in new case numbers may be random fluctuation, but it is starting to look more like the start of the Delta wave.
The EU has delivered enough coronavirus vaccine doses to member states to reach a target to fully vaccinate at least 70% of adults in the bloc. They anticipate reaching that target by the end of the month.
Hospital and ICU admissions up about 40% in the past 3 weeks here in CA. Of course, 40% of a very small number is a very small number, and 40% in 3 weeks isn't exactly a "spike". I'm sure there will be some local hot spots but overall, I don't see Delta being a large wave.
We are seeing about 2-3 times what we were seeing few weeks ago. Younger and unvaccinated. More covid icu than floor pts. Which is different. Numbers still way below winter numbers.
I don’t see those numbers coming back unless we have a variant with no protection from previous infection or vaccine. Unlikely.
Oh! My! God!
There must be bodies three layers thick piling up in the streets!
I think of the infectiousness of the original “variant” of COVID-19 virus as spreading relatively slowly like molasses flowing. Despite this slow flow it had little problem encountering new people who lacked immunity as immunity was rare.
The Delta variant taking hold now is much more infectious than the original variant and I liken it to flowing like fresh tree sap (essentially sugar water). There are many fewer “targets” who still lack immunity but the “fast flowing” Delta variant can still encounter them after “bypassing” the immune members of the community. Delta will find many people who lack immunity but, fortunately, they will be mostly younger and healthier. The good news is that these encounters with Delta will confer immunity. I think the Delta increase in infections will build and then dissipate much more quickly than our earlier episodes.
If the anti-vaxxers are correct, shouldn’t we be seeing people falling over dead in Walmart from the vaccines?
Are we vaccinating the border hordes? This is what is causing the uptick-30% had Chinus and we mass distributed them across the country. This is a deliberate reinfection!
Astonishing Spike in Post-Vaccine Deaths Gets No Media Coverage as Over 2,000 Reported THIS WEEK Alone

Interesting tidbit in comments:
“Pfizer is making a 1/3 dose for children and Moderna is presumably settling on something similar. “
“Over 1/3 billion vaccine doses administered in the USA, more than one for every resident...”
How can it be more than one per resident? This is as bad as voter fraud.
case numbers should be expected to jump after biden opened the border and spread thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a global pandemic...
