Someone from Perth visited Sydney and brought Delta back with them, was not tested for a couple days, good chance it's spreading there now.

Today's UK data from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk. 7-day totals showing 54% rise in cases, 10% rise in hospital admissions and 61% rise in deaths. A total of 18,270 cases in one day is very worrying.

They are just starting to vaccinate down there, being in a covid bubble put them at the back of the priority list, delta has changed that.

Russia has gone vertical with Delta infections, may have the highest death rate on the planet.

Gottlieb says parts of U.S. could see "very dense outbreaks" as Delta variant spreads - CBS News
Gottlieb says parts of U.S. could see "very dense outbreaks" as Delta variant spreads
Washington — As the U.S. continues to navigate its way through the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said areas of the country could experience "very dense outbreaks" with the concerning Delta variant continuing to circulate.
"It's going to be hyper-regionalized, where there are certain pockets of the country [where] we can have very dense outbreaks," Gottlieb said Sunday on CBS News' "Face the Nation."
The most vulnerable areas continue to be those with low vaccination rates and low rates of immunity from prior infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many southern states have vaccination rates that lag behind the national average.
"I think as you look across the United States, if you're a community that has low vaccination rates and you also think that there was low immunity from prior infection, so the virus really hasn't coursed through the local population, those communities are vulnerable," he said. "So, I think governors need to be thinking about how they build out health care resources in areas of the country where you still have a lot of vulnerability."
Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, a state where hospital admissions are up 30%, expressed concern about the Delta COVID-19 variant and low vaccination rates in his state.
"The Delta variant is a great concern to us. We see that impacting our increasing cases and hospitalizations," Hutchinson said on "Face the Nation." The governor also noted that vaccine hesitancy is high in his state, which he attributed to conspiracy theories, the pause in Johnson & Johnson's one-shot regimen in April and individuals simply not believing in the efficacy of the virus.

Why COVID-19 vaccines can provide stronger immunity than natural infection
Eighteen months after the first officially reported SARS-CoV-2 cases appeared in Wuhan we can now begin to investigate questions that were impossible to answer early on in the pandemic, such as what kind of immunity is generated from a natural infection, how long could one be protected from…

There are some good side effects from the vaccine. I have noticed , along with several other people I have talked with, taste has increased. You know how one of the side effects of getting Covid is losing taste buds. The vaccine seems to bring them up a notch in some people. Has anyone else experienced any positive side effects ? Have a nice day!

Not me personally but my 35 year old son swears he felt a huge energy boost for a couple of days.

That’s awesome! Modern medicine is fantastic. Everyday we are hearing of mind blowing advancements . This morning , while listening to npr UP First podcast on Amazon music , they discussed the medical advancement called “crisper”. It can help with a variety of illnesses and seems especially effective treating amyloidosis.

Great deal for the items in this kit: the 10k microfuge, proPCR machine (Manifest Biology), 3 pipettes, electrophoresis power source are terrific and not easy to find at this price. Gel box leaves something to be desired due to leakiness but nothing loads of glue can't fix. Blue light isn't ideal but suitable for visualization and inspired to build diy blue light box. Bacteria, plasmids, and other consumables will give me weeks of fun and entertainment. Overall, the kit is terrific for the price.

My brother's sense of smell has somewhat returned since covid but would likely attribute that to wearing a mask. He works in a dusty metal fabrication facility and is also a long term user of nasal spray for allergies.
My Mom (76) went into a two day baking spree after her first shot (Pfizer). No extra baked treats after her second one though. (Moderna)
The most positive aspects seem to be psychological - attitudes have improved and knowledge of the vaccine's efficacy have conquered people's fear. Thnx for all you do Dr.

Study finds Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may offer COVID protection for years, as Australia struggles to contain delta variant - MarketWatch
Study finds Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may offer COVID protection for years, as Australia struggles to contain delta variant
The vaccines developed by Pfizer with German partner BioNTech and Moderna using mRNA technology may offer protection against the coronavirus-borne illness COVID-19 for years, according to a new study published Monday.
The study, conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, suggests that people vaccinated with those shots may not need boosters, as long as the virus does not mutate or give rise to new vaccine-resistant variants. It also found that people who have recovered from COVID before being vaccinated “produced the most robust serologic responses,” showing they enjoy a strong immune response.
The study has been peer-reviewed, according to Nature, although it published it before copy editing and proofing.
Separately, an Oxford University study found that a third dose of the AstraZeneca AZN, 1.03% AZN, +1.96% vaccine administered more than six months after the second could boost protection against COVID-19. The researchers found that a third dose leads to a substantial increase in antibodies and induces a strong boost to immune response against the virus, including variants. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were published in a preprint study on Monday.

Every wave of covid is more contagious than the last with the mutations of the variants, Delta is now more contagious than small pox. If it mutates to evade the vaccines and continues to become more contagious we're looking at dying on the scale of the black death.
