  • A sixth Texas Democrat who fled the state over a GOP voting bill has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and is self-isolating, according to a report Monday.


    A sixth Texas Democrat who fled the state over a GOP voting bill has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and is self-isolating, according to a report Monday.

    The Dallas Morning News, citing a Texas House representative, reported on the diagnosis. The Texas House Democrats did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.

    NBC News reported that the Texas Democrats released a statement on Monday that said there will be no more daily updates on new cases.
    More than 50 Texas lawmakers arrived in Washington last week after leaving their home state on a private charter flight. They received criticism from Republicans and others after a photo showed them maskless on the plane, though federal pandemic guidelines don’t require masks to be worn on private aircraft.
    Childish, ignorant fools. Karma...

    • Nearly 40% of new COVID patients were vaccinated - compared to just 1% who had been infected previously.


      THAT'S BIG

            Pretty sure Pfizer was main vaccine in Israel. Astrazeneca was predominant to start with in UK but the mRNA have become more widely available as time goes on. I'd be interested to know what % of the 835k+ recovered patients also got vaccinated. In March of this year Israel pushed for all recovered patients to get vaccinated.

              Pfizer (under a different trade name) was one of them in Israel. I was thinking it was around 20-30% of the vaccines.

                From Israel, natural immunity is superior at preventing reinfection than vaxx by 40-to-1. “People who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID.”

                • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is changing course on some mask guidelines. The agency announced Tuesday that even vaccinated people should return to wearing masks indoors in parts of the U.S. where the coronavirus is surging.


                  CDC reverses course on indoor masks in some parts of US

                  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reversed course Tuesday on some masking guidelines, recommending that even vaccinated people return to wearing masks indoors in parts of the U.S. where the coronavirus is surging.

                  Citing new information about the ability of the delta variant to spread among vaccinated people, the CDC also recommended indoor masks for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status.

                  The new guidance follows recent decisions in Los Angeles and St. Louis to revert to indoor mask mandates amid a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations that have been especially bad in the South. The country is averaging more than 57,000 cases a day and 24,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations.

                  Most new infections in the U.S. continue to be among unvaccinated people. But “breakthrough” infections, which generally cause milder illness, can occur in vaccinated people. When earlier strains of the virus predominated, infected vaccinated people were found to have low levels of virus and were deemed unlikely to spread the virus much, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said.

                  But with the delta variant, the level of virus in infected vaccinated people is “indistinguishable” from the level of virus in the noses and throats of unvaccinated people, Walensky said.

                  The data emerged over the last couple of days from 100 samples. It is unpublished, and the CDC has not released it. But “it is concerning enough that we feel like we have to act,” Walensky said.

                  Vaccinated people “have the potential to spread that virus to others,” she said.

                  For much of the pandemic, the CDC advised Americans to wear masks outdoors if they were within 6 feet of one another.

                  Then in April, as vaccination rates rose sharply, the agency eased its guidelines on the wearing of masks outdoors, saying that fully vaccinated Americans no longer needed to cover their faces unless they were in a big crowd of strangers. In May, the guidance was eased further for fully vaccinated people, allowing them to stop wearing masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings.

                  The guidance still called for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings, like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters, but it cleared the way for reopening workplaces and other venues.
                  And here we go! The "cost of freedom" for the unvaccinated ignorant spilling over to those of us who take responsibility for our actions. If the current trend continues, we'll all be wearing masks again in Wichita.

                                There have been NUMEROUS studies indicating that only the most serious cases of natural infection are comparable to the immunity gained by mRNA vaccination.
