I don’t think it will lead to lockdowns or major outbreaks. Most people who would have died have been vaccinated or likely died already. The unvaccinated can take a chance, but sucks for others, especially if we get a variant that circumvents the vaccine because the virus has extra hosts. I think we had seven positives on my shift today and a half dozen more that were specifically there for COVID rule-outs, but were discharged before resulted. Anecdotally, there seems to be an uptick in the ED with an increase in severity compared to the past, even if volume was much higher, and there were more geriatrics sick, so severity in that population was bad. I’ve seen a greater uptick in ICU COVID partients who were relatively young like under 65. The county has only seen a mild uptick with no real uptick in deaths. Just saying this Delta variant is definitely out there and circulating in the unvaccinated community.
