Because we are forced to do this, today's Delta variant anti-panic porn...

[BigDaddyDawgBreath]

So CDC provides an online tracker of variant data. The tracker today shows Delta variant (aka Indian variant), technically known as B.1.617.2 is approaching 70% of all new COVID cases in the central and interior West of the US.

This is up from 50% last time I checked.

Result? Very little has changed. If you look at *all* the states with a high Delta percentage (not just cherry pick one state like Missouri or even a region of it like SW Missouri as I have seen some media do), the effect even on positive COVID cases is almost none so far.

With the Alpha variant (aka UK variant) the magic number was supposed to be 50% prevalence would equal "doom" for an area (CDC director's words).

So with Delta reaching 70% prevalence in a very large area, when is it actually going to make a difference in even positive tests (much less hospitalizations or deaths)?

Continue to watch and look at ground truth data. So far this has turned out to be like every other media-influenced variant mini-panic.

Even for Wyoming where @NFultonDawg was told to expect to find his homeland laid waste by the Delta horde.

(@WRobinsDawg is too busy peppering his tailpipe for the Lambda horde, having barely escaped Delta with his life but now trembling as the new invader rides across the steppes of Houston County)

Scroll down and look for the burnt orange slices of the pie. That is Delta percentage.

Wyoming is at 57% Delta. Here is the current Wyoming COVID data. If anyone has a microscope big enough to find the difference let me know...

So let's say I have COVID, get tested at a doc in a box and am positive. Are they submitted all the tests for variance serology? How does that work?

And if you see this please send more non-perishable goods as I'm running out of them in my basement.

Prepare for your eyeballs to bleed. Direct quote:

"
Statistical weighting:
The estimates of weighted variant proportions shown in the bar charts, pie charts, and table above are adjusted to correct for the potential non-random sampling of sequencing data over time and across states in order to provide more representative national and regional estimates. Using a survey-design-based approach, statistical weights for these estimates are based on the number of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests and number of positive RT-PCR test results received, stratified by state, specimen collection date, and by genomic surveillance data source. Genomic surveillance data sources include commercial and reference laboratories, public health laboratories, hospital laboratories, and other testing locations. Estimates of weighted variant proportions from the most recent two-week interval are subject to change as specimens from that period are still being processed. Regional proportions are based on the number of sequences from each jurisdiction. Different jurisdictions may provide different numbers of sequences, and lower sequence numbers can produce greater uncertainty in the weighted proportion estimates."

To further add to it, they provide a "Nowcast" option which tries to project current percentages based on trends from the statistically weighted real world data.

If that Nowcast is even close to accurate that entire region of the country is even "worse" now.

We drove back to Wyoming from Georgia last week and I just started feeling sick on Monday. I thought it was a sinus infection from cleaning up the garage. By the time we passed through Missouri I was thinking "I feel like sh!t, wonder if I have the Delta?"

Leaving Nebraska, my bride says "did it start with a sore throat?" Now I am thinking it IS delta and it is now chasing us all the way to the unvaccinated hellhole of Wyoming!

We get to Wyoming and we are both sick, feeling weak and worked over, but still have 400 miles to go and so we push on.

Meanwhile I am debating what to do with this dilemma:

Post that I have it on the Dawgvent so it can get moved to chat?
Go to a Dr. and get tested for confirmation and become a Delta survior?
We never lost our sense of smell, so maybe it isn't the dreaded Delta?
Or do nothing as I have always done with the flu and go on living life?

Decided to go with number 4 option, but we are going to stock up on trout and smoke them on the egg and hang em everywhere the bears can't get 'em. We are on an island and I am afraid @WRobinsDawg supply of non-perishables is too far away to share. Meanwhile, if @BigDaddyDawgBreath comes out this way, please bring along some of those non-perishables for us - will trade for some smoked trout!

If there is a trip to Wyoming in this for me, I'll bring you whatever groceries you want.

No vaccine needed. Remember, the vaccine is supposed to be for emergency use only. It's not FDA approved.

Here is a point I have not heard anyone mention. As we all know, variants tend to be more contagious but less deadly with each mutation, which is what we are seeing with each successive variant of Covid. Theoretically, this should mean that as people get more of these weaker variants and recover, these people have natural immunity and this should speed up ending this thing even faster.
They say 67% of adults have been vaccinated. Throw in the natural immunity by those who have already recover and this thing is pretty much over anyway.

Glad to see you still don't know what "emergency use only" and "FDA approved" mean. They are approved to be used, as they currently are, by the FDA.
