Over 25% of new cases in LA fully vaxxed...

Ruh roh. Now that the CDC is recommending vaccinated patients with mild symptoms be tested for CoVid, you can expect that number to rise nationwide.  (California has expanded their testing more fully than most regions.)

Good news?  That vaccinated people who catch CoVid face less death, hospitalization and severity of illness?  Sure, if that's what the studies are telling us and the Delta variant doesn't wreak worse havoc on the younger unvaccinated children likely to catch the more contagious variant.  

Maybe false vaccination confidence* in the United States -- compared to more cautious countries like Israel, say --  is like speeders who buckle up, or the NFL with greater helmet protections than rugby players and hurlers, say?

I can tell you this:  as an early CoVid "survivor" (Feb. 2020), I would not wish even a mild version of that virus on children, or their parents standing by helplessly, with the accompanying fever and respiratory/heart issues in fighting it off.*  Likely, it was a much stronger virus back then Still, you don't want to hear your kid wheeze (not my symptom), fight fever and listen to a racing heart, much less be a rare child death. 

Keep on eye on the worldwide stats of childhood illness being triggered by the delta variant though, and protect your youngsters accordingly?  We've done all we can to help now, the adult vaccinated and survivors. Lets hope for a most excellent indoor-air season ahead, for all of us, our youngsters in America and vulnerable elders and immuo-compromised alike.  Seems vaccination season has not ended the virus variantsout here in our country after all, perhaps the milder variants in adults are more contagious and transmittable by the vaccinated and non- alike?  Results are not yet in;  worldwide studies are leaking out...  

You hope wise people lead on this:  don't blame and shame, up your protection game?  Especially if you're directly and immediately tasked with taking care of individuals who fall into those three categories above?  Overconfidence kills, and a dose of humility never harmed anyone, just sayin'...

God Bless Us in the coming, closed-in months.  That's when the results and conclusions of our national experiment will be in, and can be best drawn if it's science and not marketing/comm really driving our national media reports. (?) We shall see... many rivers to cross, many months to go until Thanksgiving and the more closed-up holiday seasons.

* "Superpowers, baby! Bring on the travel, social mixing in close quarters, and indoors air! I'm vaccinated, dontchaknow? Bring on the goodtime '20s!"  Lot of non-cautious people in this country good at casting off caution and counting on unproven facts... and willing to blame all others when their preferred facts are proven false in time. 

 ADDED:  What if CoVid survivors and the vaccinated are actually shedding more virus at times, it stays in the body and can be stronger at times still?  When we don't have symptoms now of the mild summer viruses you hear inside places these days (library, grocery, auto repair waiting room, planes and transport surely -- you hear the respiratory symptoms, summer-cold-like symptoms out there if you stay long enough...), could many of us adults be future Typhoid Mary's, potentially exposing children and vulnerables?  Not me surely, I am still not staying indoors long, and watching who I am exposing when I do.  My lifestyle allows that though, whereas I can see how concerned parents will be unlikely to avoid keeping their children unexposed come this autumn, especially the school-aged who are always nature's best transmitters.  Maybe that will help protect the majority of them in the long run though.  Mild symptoms for most.
