I was not aware that 99%+ have either had COVID or been vaccinated.
I only know a few people who were vaccinated.
So unless someone got it completely asymptomatic and is unaware of having had COVID, I think that maybe 50% of the people that I know have not had COVID nor have they been vaccinated.
Seriously! Gosh, another world.
Here 95% have been vaccinated, at least 80% have had Covid so a guess would be around 98% either or. Mostly both, and mostly mildly. Deaths total around 22,000.

It varies. According to the Covid Act Now website, the county where I live is at 92.5% of the population vaccinated with at least one dose and 84% with two or more.

And the county where I am is at 58% for one dose and 52.5% for two or more. And many of the rural counties here in Tennessee are way below even those numbers. Politics and education play a large part around here in these numbers.

Those two factors play a large part everywhere. But point taken!
agreed, I did my best to follow the health guidelines in my community, masks, distancing, waiting in the lines and patience.
that was all fine and good and safe.
I purchased / bought three separate Covid 19 self - test kits at Walgreens, I tested myself three times, the first test was positive, I simply could not believe it, I felt great - no conditions, no signs of my health having problems, nothing whatsoever wrong with my health, no cough or congestion or anything at all, I felt like I was in perfect health.
I immediately was shocked, so i tested again with the second test kit and it was negative, then I tested the third test kit and again was negative.
it was a very strange experience but I just did not know what to conclude. I had heard of loved ones and friends who were older and whom already had health problems who had contracted Covid 19 virus and had suffered and died.
but no-one around me had any problems with Covid 19 it was friends and loved ones who lived in other states - - far away.
I felt such a sadness that I cannot explain when I think of my loved ones, friends and family who suffered but this was all from a distance because no one around me where I live in my community had any problems with Covid 19.
I always washed my hands immediately when coming home , took always took off my shoes off before entering my home and wore my mask always in public for about a full year.
I could never bear the thought of bring Covid 19 into my home and infecting my family. I just could not live with the thought of this becoming reality.
That is kind of to be expected. You live in a rural area and rural areas were more resistant to getting vaccinated.
I can see where that would make sense.
But sometimes life will trick you.
Living rural I would have expected to never in my life to meet a transgender person. But, in the last 2 years I have met four of them, In our church we call them 'eunuchs' [KJV phrase meaning anyone who has had their genitals surgically removed].

What they are saying is that people who have had covid and/or the vaccine are more susceptible to this variant than to earlier variants.
^^^This. The variant is more able to evade the antibodies from previous vaccines and/or vaccines. Those without antibodies from either would not fare better.
This time there is no mandate to vaccinate. So, the anti-vaxx crowd can just avoid taking it. We are looking to get vaccinated as soon as we can get the updated vaccine.
