We have been under lockdown for 18 months and wearing masks for a year+.
That’s why it’s not 6 million dead

That’s why it’s not 6 million dead
I want to be alive for this M2 variant that is coming out from Apple soon. First time getting a vaccine for anything.
He should personally pay them more for going in to the store to help him.
very out of touch thinking that by own admission he is making so much extra due to personal risk during pandemic that he thinks everyone should just bootstrap-up and get breathed on by him. Sad!

That’s rough considering there’s a vaccin. Where I live, 90% is vaccinated. We’re returning to normal pre-corona life.
The British (So the UK, and many other countries) have called shots "jabs" for many decades. I kind of like it. It is a very descriptive name.
Delta variant doesn’t carabout your vaccine.
You need to return to the “new normal” . Masks and lockdowns and contact tracing. Close spreader places down. Non essential should be closed
anti-vaxxers helped spread.
there are more vaccines in USA than arms we have to inject them in.
I would argue your math is worse, because it's assuming that the the only people that have been infected are those within the official tally. It's entirely possible for many people to have been infected, yet asymptomatic and thus never counted.
I would suggest you take a look at this. It says otherwise.
COVID Charts Quiz
Test your knowledge of how government interventions affected the COVID-19 pandemic.
Your denominator is leaving out a lot of people who “have” Covid-19
Well either way, you can divide any death toll by the US population to make it seem insignificant if you want
Do you know where Delta originated from? You should look it up.
What would a statistically significant population be for the metric then?
browsing this thread is like casually stepping into a twitter comments section filled with "it's all fake!" and "save grandma! force everyone to get vaxxed!" trolls. i'm surprised this thread is still open.
delta was first spotted in india in december of 2020, around same time vaccines began to roll out. it's not "new", and it's not "because of anti-vaxxers". give it a rest already.

Just like you can divide the death rate by some arbitrary-yet-official-sounding amount to make it seem worse. I guess it depends on whether you're a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty person.
Have fun getting breathed on by science deneyers with faked vaccination cards….
I believe in science, and would close that store for the duration of the pandemic.
So now we're comparing variants? You do realize that there are currently 13 other variants (at least one originated in US) but sure, make COVID about a countries like Trump made it about China instead of about healthcare and people.
It did originate in China.
that’s a fact. Nobody hates China for that except for silly chuds. Don’t make this political it’s about saving lives. But the description is accurate
why waste time for feels?
That’s pseudoscience “protein spike shedding etc”
Everything I have read about the Delta variant says it is not more deadly, but since the infection rate is 6, six other people are infected by each infected person, versus an infection rate of 2 for the Alpha variant. Also, vaccinated people can get it and unknowingly infect others since they may have none or just mild symptoms and do not get tested or isolate.
