This will not end well…
As the Delta strain is coming, nobody is paying much attention.
Anybody claiming “it is over” is an idiot. My patience with this shit runneth seriously short.
tl;dr: WDKS, but we are maybe learning some shit.
Um… I’m neither a physician nor epidemiologist, but do I recall correctly that Chicken Pox is the poster child for “disease that spreads wildly”?
Yup. If they meant that statement to be terrifying, they succeeded.
From another source, I’m getting numbers to put around this. They say that the CDC estimate the R0 of chickenpox to be about 8.5, while the Delta variant’s R0 is estimated to be in the region of 5-9.
This angers the DeSantis
Chicken pox is up there, but IIRC measles is even worse.
Please please no COVID variant as transmissible as measles.
R0 for measles is 12-18.
Disney cares more about not being sued for killing their customers than the governor of the state does - yikes.
I’m sooo fucking thankful I don’t live in Florida anymore.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
