CDC announced yesterday 98.8% of COVID cases are of the Delta variant. It's all over the news.
The only way they know that 100% is if the lab tests every sample. Do you actually think they are testing every sample? Or is it 98.8% of every test sampled? I'm not a denier but more of a realist. It doesn't matter what strain you have. COVID is COVID.

Testing positive, severity of symptoms and mortality rates don't seem to be broken down "all over the news". What tests, exactly, are being done to discern between one variant and another? Of course I'm not asking you directly! "Testing positive" seems to have become equated with terminality. CNN Reports New Zealand locking down over one case ( no, I will not link as it is "all over the news"). I just think there is a degree of overreaction going on.

I got my shots. I will wear my mask as infrequently as I can. Let those that didn't get shots worry. It's their problem. They have a choice and I have mine. I also support checking shot records at entrance doors instead of everyone suffering because of those not willing to get the shots.
@Eristic1 The speed at which a virus mutates would be much slower when comparing a 100% vaccinated population to 50% or less. Your single article events supports that idea.
Masks are somewhat as important because it can prevent whatever mutated strains of the virus we may have from infecting other people.
I realize that, but the more people vaccinated the fewer strains........
You can still be vaccinated and catch it. I read of a story where a woman had both doses but still ended up on a vent and dying. She did have pre-existing conditions though.
My mom also knew of a few people who got sick after the 2nd shot.

I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand. The more vaccinated people, the less of a chance of the virus mutating, thus decreasing the chance of spread. If a virus doesn't have a host, it can't replicate.
Vaccinations are never 100%. They decrease the severity of the symptoms, but like you said, the woman had preexisting conditions. Those without pre-existing conditions don't usually wind up in a hospital.
Those with Pre-existing conditions should get a booster 8 months after 2nd dose.
