Once the vaccines began bringing the pandemic under control here, the Delta variant as the new big risk is what the news media began focusing on heavily. That began shortly after case counts exploded dramatically higher in India and gained coverage the further it spread around the globe.
I have to admit, I'm a little perplexed about all the discussion around the Delta variant. It almost feels like people are discussing this like it's a plot point in a novel, a new looming threat that comes after Act II, rather than a cold scientific fact. As someone who lives in New York and has been vaccinated for months, should I worry about this? It seems like the answer to that question is no, I shouldn't. Also n…
I see the article is well written. The problem is developed countries are doing nothing significant. They think if they vaccinate their population they are good. And they are supplying only some excess vaccines to developing countries which is like drop in bucket. And they are stuck on patents, greediness and all of these thing. I don't think the country where I live will have vaccines till 2023 and people here are a…
What else do they have to do?

Can't everybody get vaccinated in the US unlike the EU where you have to wait for your turn and can't buy vaccines? That would explain the difference

"If you’re vaccinated, you’re mostly safe, especially with mRNA vaccines. Keep your guard up for now, avoid events that might become super-spreaders, but you don’t need to worry much more than that."
But maybe this is a good summary to send to those who aren't in your position yet?

The unfettered spread of variants in unvaccinated populations risks the rise of one that can evade your vaccine (https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6527/329). In areas where a variant is spreading rapidly, it might not be a bad idea to voluntarily mask in indoor crowds.
