That is a good theory but it is proven that Delta can be spread by vaccinated people. It does help decrease the risk but what you posted is not correct.bay fan said:
Where do the sickest Covid patients go? The ER to start and then they are admitted. Your dad is precisely why Hospital personnel all should be vaccinated, to avoid inadvertently spreading it to a patient. For your families sake, I hope he is vaccinated. Wishing you positive news.
Help me understand? I believe being vaccinated will aid the outcome should one become exposed, hence my best wishes. Additionally, though not fool proof, you are less likely to get it from a vaccinated person then an unvaccinated person simply due to the odds. A doctor yesterday posted here the figure was 60% less likely to get Covid if vaccinated which is why I feel higher vaccination rates decrease inadvertent spread. I would love to better understand my error?KidDoc said:That is a good theory but it is proven that Delta can be spread by vaccinated people.

No guarantee, but lessens the risk and chances significantly.KidDoc said:
La Migra explained it- and I did say it will help but it is no guarantee with the Delta variant that being vaccinated won't allow you to infect others in whatever setting including hospitals.

You have posted several items showing your concern with Delta and the vaccine. While the vaccines are not preventing the spread as well with the new variant as they were before, they do significantly lessen the symptoms and severity of the virus, so if all were vaccinated we would still have some spread, but the spread would be much less and we would all see it as a cold like symptom, with no real concern as to its transmission. And that would arguably be the best case scenario where it would spread through population who are vaccinated, so we would all get natural immunity as well.
FWIW this appears to be what is happening right now in the UK, where they are still getting a large number of positive tests, but hospitalization and deaths are way down, so virus is spreading somewhat through a vaccinated population, with minimal risk.

Well look at who is hospitalized, 95-96% are non vaccinated while 70% of population is vaccinated. So 30% of population is causing 95% of hospitalizations.
Quote:
Data shows that vaccines are at a minimum 50% effective at preventing a person from contracting Covid, so at a minimum full vaccination would mean a drop in cases by 50% in the unvaccinated population should they be vaccinated.
I don't disagree but if a vaccinated person is still 60% less likely to get Covid, there are simply fewer vaccinated, positive people to get it from. Of course it's possible, just less likely.La migra52 said:bay fan said:Help me understand? I believe being vaccinated will aid the outcome should one become exposed, hence my best wishes.

Didn't the CDC say they found the viral load in the unvaccinated person and vaccinated person is the same ?? If so, anyone is likely to spread it. At this point , the vaccine is for those that want to protect themselves.

My dad is being admitted to Sugarland Methodist after falling 2x today, second time my mom called 911. Lots of tests, low hemoglobin so he is getting a blood transfusion and being admitted. Thus the question about covid and hospitals.
Eta he is vaccinated and covid negative upon admission. He is 82.

Thanks Tabasco. We've chatted before, during Harvey. I appreciate that.Tabasco said:88planoAg said:

I'm in Sugar Land (Greatwood [that's what she said]).
Let me know if you need anything
