i think the thing that bothers me most about this change (apart from the lack of warning) is that if you are a healthy under 50 who was one of the lucky people who got one of the appointments and took time off work to get your first done on literally the first day you became eligible in the most populous state in the nation, then you are not fully vaccinated until late next week.

The question posed in the survey was:
If you had to predict, how long will Americans need to wear masks when indoors with people whose vaccination status they donβt know?
Nowhere does it stipulate "Americans" as being vaccinated or unvaccinated, it mushes them into the same bucket. It's worded terribly right off the bat.

I thought The World in Data's site had frozen last night, until NYT's numbers came in for the evening and we're even lower. Waiting to see what CDC recorded for yesterday, but they tend to have lower counts than the other two.
Great progress considering how much more severely undercounted cases were at this time last year.
We're also at threshold of 60% of adults vaccinated.

we're not.60% have had one dose. 37% have had two doses. under 30% of the US population are two weeks out from their second dose and "fully vaccinated".
this isn't hair splitting, given the mask mandate change. 70+% of the US population needs to consider avoiding indoor spaces again because the CDC decided masks weren't white boy summer.

every place I've been this weekend has still had people overwhelmingly masking. it is, as Ive said, likely more based on the environment where you live than anything. I can guarantee this is NOT the case in Brevard County or outwards towards Daytona - but ....they've never been masking.

considering that separate studies found vaccine effectiveness of 89-91% in Pfizer (a fact you acknowledged many months back, in fact, to correct me) 15 days or more after the shot, and 92% for Moderna greater than 14 days after the shot - it's pretty good protection.
Which isn't to say people shouldn't get their second shot, as it does provide more protection, and nor should the CDC give people with one shot permission, as the study was done with two shots so more confidence in the data for two shots. just sayin....it ain't like these folk are lying out there completely exposed.

Oregon's new case numbers rose through April and have been holding fairly steady until a couple of days ago. This puts us as an outlier in the midst of most states' sharp drops in new cases. I'm fully vaxxed, but I'm still masking for public indoor places like grocery stores and mostly avoiding them as much as in 2020. (I did visit a used book store last week for the first time in 15 months!)
On the whole, I do feel much more at ease now about my own prospects for avoiding a bout with covid-19, based on all the data I've seen about vaxx efficacy.

I was out this weekend: grocery stores, small stores, walking streets, sitting at outdoor bars (several friends visiting family for the first time since '19, all jabbed). Not a single person without masks. In Publix, which lifted its mask requirements on Saturday, 100% compliance from employees and customers.

Fauci just ended a segment on Chris Hayes' show. The "takeaway":
1. He disagrees, he said mildly, with the date of the CDC's decision but agrees with the science.
2. The vaccine has exceeded every expectation.
3. The breakthrough cases with the baseball teams are better than expected: asymptomatic with viral loads so low that the infected couldn't transmit it. In other words, the players wouldn't have known they had it unless they'd been tested, and they weren't dangerous anyway.

there was a misentry of vaccinations on Sunday for New Hampshire I believe which overcounted by 400,000k , which they adjusted. so we're pretty well under 2 mill/day again. hoping the 12-15 starts making a dent soon - but being that it's still the school year, can't imagine they have a lot of pockets of time to get their kids vaccinated until weekends.

interesting to see where cases wind up tonight. per The World in Data, it was 35,111 last Tuesday, and it's at about 22,900 tonight with 9 states left to report (the big states are already in though). good chance the drop continues!
― Feta Van Cheese (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 18 May 2021 21:55 (two years ago) link
NY Times and Our World in Data pretty well in line last night - both report under 28,000 new cases for yesterday (27,506 for OWiD, 27,910 for New York Times). This continues the trend of dropping cases, as this is significantly lower than the cases reported on the same day last week (35,111-OWID, 34,088-NYT). the 7-day moving average for daily cases drops below 32,000 (31,004-OWID, 31,149-NYT).
Per NYT, this represents a 35% drop in the 7-day moving average (daily cases) in just the last 14 days - if you go back 28 days, it's a 52% drop (64,945 on 4/20, 31,149 today). The number of people hospitalized per NYT has declined 20% over the past 14 days. Deaths have declined 12% over the past 14 days, but as this is a trailing stat and hospitalizations and cases are decreasing, I expect that'll start dipping in about two weeks or so. Hopefully, at least.

I started going back to my gym this week (vaxed) and two days in, based on CDC and NY mask rules, they removed the mask requirement. Today, mask wearers like me were definitely in the minority. So people are going to take the least restrictions possible and the CDC are morons.
