This is unexpectadly high, and good news for anyone who got the latest vaccine.

I'm on the west coast and the latest covid wave just started hitting my town, so I hope I can continue to avoid it.

My friend in a long term care facility a few towns over got hit a couple weeks ago and three people died. They got the last vaccine several weeks ago, and then got "minor cold symptoms" when covid hit their facility, but never tested positive. Not many residents facility got the last vaccine because of the fucking privatization bullshit.

This country is Satan.

That doesn't contradict the claim that more severe COVID puts you at higher risk. Most people with long COVID had mild symptoms because many more people had mild symptoms (and survived) than had severe symptoms. It's the same reason that "most people who get COVID have had at least one vaccine" isn't evidence that getting the vaccine makes you more likely to get COVID.
