But a very similar corona virus nonetheless.
Covid can be a terrible thing for some. And it is no joke for some. It’s real. Thankfully there is a vaccine for those who want it. If the objective is a safe work floor than vaccinations or showing a negative test will indeed do the trick. Especially for those already who have been exposed to it.
We need to help and discuss all ways possible to protect our elder and weaker population. But this is slowly starting to feel like medical apartheid and it scares me more than an infection with an IFR of 0.15%.
This is not about guilting people. This is about understanding that this virus is absolutely nothing like the flu. And each variant is behaving differently from previous variants. Some variants are milder, some more aggressive. The Delta variant is a bad one. It is no accident that states with the highest vaccination rates have the lowest cases right now. It’s also no accident that states with the lowest vaccination rates are going through spikes that we had not seen since February. This is not apartheid. We as a country are not understanding that we are in it together. Either we all pull in the same direction or we are not getting out of it.
