The Delta variant doesn't play. We went from about 10,000 new cases a day 4 weeks ago to almost 150,000 new cases just yesterday. It's estimated that each person infected spreads it to 5 to 9 others. The alpha variant had an R0 of 2.5.

Here's an updated chart on the Shelby County numbers. Here, that huge spike is the Delta variant.

That's about what you see for the United States as a whole. To date, the rate of increase is the highest in the pandemic.
Penny has been vaccinated. Some of you guys are going to have to stop watching basketball in protest.

The 79 year old alpha male, ShereKlan, claims he got it. Of course he also claims he and his progeny are a race of Supermen --- so they recovered.
Rumor has it that Chuck Norris was exposed to the COVID-19 virus. Instead of Chuck Norris getting COVID, COVID got Chuck Norris.

Not really. I can support my school from home. As long as the university is not pushing draconian laws on everybody else. Your body your choice at the end of the day.

Exactly...That is the right attitude.
No one should force you to take any vaccine or to wear a mask...But you may not be able to participate in certain things if you do not.
In my mind that is fair.

Sure. Why stop there? No vaccines or immunizations for anything if you choose not to. K-12 is no longer required by law. No more seatbelts. Texting and driving is OK if you want to. Drugs, you're good to go. Everybody just do whatever they want. Victim-less crimes? Sure, why not. You're not hurting anyone.
I didn’t realize there was a Covid vaccine law on the books.
