July 27, 20214 yr As with all viruses, fewer transmissions = fewer opportunities to mutate Just as we've seen in the past, the odds for emerging new variants will fall with each successive year once effective vaccines have been developed. Long-term outlook remains very good, even if the near term outlook is a bit turbulent.

July 27, 20214 yr 🙃 Quote The C.D.C. will recommend that some vaccinated people wear masks indoors again. Reversing a decision made just two months ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to recommend on Tuesday that people vaccinated for the coronavirus resume wearing masks indoors in certain areas of the country. The change follows reports of rising breakthrough infections with the Delta variant of the virus in people who were fully immunized, and case surges in regions with low vaccination rates. The vaccines remain effective against the worst outcomes of infection with the virus, including those involving the Delta variant. But the new guidance, the details of which are expected later Tuesday, would mark a sharp turnabout from the agency’s position since May that vaccinated people do not need to wear masks in most indoor spaces. As recently as last week, an agency spokesman said that the C.D.C. had no plans to change its guidance, unless there were a significant change in the science. Federal officials met on Sunday night to review new evidence that may have prompted the reversal, CNN reported on Tuesday. "I think that’s great,” said Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease specialist at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York. Based on what scientists are learning about the Delta variant’s ability to cause breakthrough infections, she said, "this is a move in the right direction.” The C.D.C.’s initial guidance in May said people fully protected from the coronavirus could go mask-free indoors in most scenarios, but recommended that unvaccinated people still wear masks. Those recommendations drew sharp criticism from some experts, who said it was premature given the vast swaths of unvaccinated people in the country. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the C.D.C.’s director, at the time pointed to two scientific findings as significant factors. Few vaccinated people become infected with the virus, and transmission seems rarer still, she noted; and the vaccines appear to be effective against all known variants of the coronavirus. A day after the announcement, the agency released results from a large study showing that the mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were 94 percent effective in preventing symptomatic illness in those who got two doses, and 82 percent effective in those who had received one dose. But those data, and the C.D.C.’s decision, were based on infections of previous versions of the virus before the Delta variant began sweeping through the country. Reports of clusters of infections among fully immunized people have suggested that the variant may be able to break through the vaccine barrier more often than previous iterations of the virus. On Sunday, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, warned in an interview on the CNN program "State of the Union” that the pandemic was "going in the wrong direction” because too many Americans were not getting vaccinated. Slightly less than half of the population had been fully vaccinated, as of Monday, according to federal data. Dr. Fauci said that mask use by vaccinated people was "under active consideration” by federal health authorities, adding that it was prudent for vaccinated people to wear masks indoors in areas with "a lot of dynamics of infection.” Daniel E.

July 27, 20214 yr The wrong move imho though I should hold on offering an opinion until the actual changes in recommended measures is announced in detail.

July 27, 20214 yr Experimental vaccines must be pretty awful, I guess. Good thing the survival rate for those in their 90s is around 95% and much higher for all other age groups.
