They're behind the curve.

Talking to SIL this morning...They called the family in this morning on an 80 year-old man. Surprisingly healthy, almost no meds, fully vaccinated. (They have a set of protocols where they are letting some individuals see patients before sending them to ICU.)

Was doing great, still running a horse ranch. Came down with COVID, had the classic lung presentation on xray in the ED, admitted with normal treatment regimen. He was being transferred to ICU this morning, where he will be intubated. Prognosis is grim.

Granted, that's an elderly man, but he was in good health. We are seeing more cases in that 25-45 range, and some of those guys are pretty sick. And some of these guys, especially the forty-somethings have been vaccinated.

Is the source vaccinated or unvaccinated people?

Also I think the latest is 88% with delta so we expect that in 12 of 100 people.

Don't have a clue. My sources are what I see in the LIS and hospital gossip.
