[Update Sun 7/18/21] Wave #5: Still watching a slow-motion train wreck. Covid increasing for 39 days. Positivity 20.03% = 21.8x June 9 (0.92%). Big private & public parties. People packed like sardines in bars and restaurants (I haven’t been inside any clubs). Crowded outdoor streets with <1% masks. I watched Covid growth in Wave #2 (Memorial Day, May 2020), and Wave #3 (Halloween, October 2020). Data showed within a week that Covid was growing after relaxing restrictions. Both times Los Angeles didn’t have the political willpower to contain Covid. Same thing happening again in Wave #5. Sigh. In wave #2, positivity maxed at 15.4% (7-day avg, July 8). In wave #3, positivity maxed at 52.48% (7-day-avg, Jan 4). I have no idea how high we’re going this time. UK and Israel are still increasing in their Delta waves, so no guidance there. July 8–15: 14% (1,322/9,167) of all cases were in fully vaccinated people (18 hospitalized, 5 deaths) July 1–7: 18% (610/3,433) cases in vaccinated people (3 hospitalized, 1 death) Hospitalized Pfizer Covid people: (1) “Poor outcome was noted in 38 patients and mortality rate reached 22% (34/152).” (2) “high rate of comorbidities predisposing to severe COVID-19 , including hypertension (108, 71%), diabetes (73, 48%), CHF (41, 27%), chronic kidney and lung diseases (37, 24% each), dementia (29, 19%), and cancer (36, 24%), and only 6 had no comorbidities.” (3) “Sixty (40%) of the patients were immunocompromised.” (4) “Our patients had a higher rate of comorbidities and immunosuppression compared to previously reported non-vaccinated hospitalized COVID-19 patients.” https://covid19inlosangeles.quora.com/Los-Angeles-COVID-data

如果人人打好疫苗,戴好口罩,不用悲观。
主要死亡率和住院率还没上去,所以很多人在观望,希望在有vaccine的情况下,Covid可以像flu 一样处理。
