1. Not an expert, but the virus is morphing and getting stronger... ugh

just my two cents...

2. That would be backed up with historical data I believe.

You needn't be an expert to pay attention like you have done.

3. The observed mortality rate

The observed mortality rate is not going up and with at home testing, official case counts are more underreported now. Delta looks to be more contagious, but less deadly. Which was the predictable course based on what we know about other Corona virii.

4. They haven't had their boosters yet.

Booster Vaccination Update: Geer Nursing residents and staff will be eligible for the booster when we have gone two full weeks with no new positive cases. We are conducting vaccinations for flu this week. If you have not returned your loved one’s consent form, please do so.

5. The weird thing is after having Covid, you should not need a booster for many months

So many of the latest studies show natural immunity longer lasting. My friend still has good antibodies a yr after having Covid. Antibody tests need to be more available.

6. I wonder at what point the initial vaccination will be invalid

For work requirements, travel, etc. We can’t eventually have someone that was vaccinated 1+ year ago count as “fully vaccinated”. Boosters may have to be on a 6 month rotation as the states that vaccinated many people early are now seeing hospitalizations and death rise in the vaccinated due to waning immunity.
