(111,243 posts)16. Delta is HERE. It's just not sticking around long
in the counties with decent vax rates.
I had the disease in the early days and didn't want it again, so I've got both vax doeses on board. I'm not bulletproof, but I should be OK. Vax rates stayed around 60% for too long a time. Now they're at 67% and going up.

I live in the big city and people are compliant indoors but unmasked outdoors and that's OK.
Maks are really uncomfortable, especially to civilians and especially in this soggy, smoky heat we've been enduring. I sympathize with people who unmask outdoors. I'm old, so they need to keep their distance, thanks. Most do.
