The new "Delta" variant of Covid 19 transmits quicker, and is more deadly, than its predecessors.
And its breaking out in the United States.
Yesterday's Tribune reported that its broken out in Laramie County, which makes sense as its the hub of two interstate highways.
Wyoming has 35.4% of its population. This means that Delta will break out here, and it will kill people here.
It will.
I don't understand the resistance to the vaccinations. It's proven as safe as any other vaccine and vaccines are safe. By not getting vaccinated people are not only putting themselves at risks, but entire communities, and beyond that they are hosting a vaccine for further evolution, making it harder to wipe out long term.
Careful consideration really need to be given to this topic at this time. We could wipe this virus out completely. Or not. We should wipe it out.*

*Oddly enough, the vaccine does appear to be wiping out another disease in the SARS family, unintentionally. It has a much lower transmission rate, and the vaccine is apparently somewhat operative on it, keeping it from spreading.
