The unvaxxed are really spiking right now. The case rate increase percentage is pretty comparable to the vaccinated, but they are starting at a higher level. If you are vaccinated, it's like investing $100 and getting a 500% ROI. Now you have made $400. If you are unvaccinated, it's like investing $500 at the same return, but now you've made $2000. Unfortunately in this case, instead of getting richer, you end up getting sick.
Unsurprisingly, the biggest portion of the cases are in the 25-34 demographic. The bulk of the new cases are white folk by a pretty substantial margin. Apparently, all of our jokes about millennials living in their parents' basement aren't accurate, they are living it up!
What scares me is the 2nd highest growth demographic is in the 0-17 age range. That group is approaching 28,000 confirmed cases, they are on track to surpass the number of cases in all people over 65 combined. I know a crapload of parents don't want their kids wearing masks at school, but the "kids don't really get COVID" and the "kids don't transmit COVID" arguments don't hold any water, and quite frankly is wishful thinking. I have terrible COVID fatigue, but I'll make sure my school-agers are wearing them on campus regardless of their policies. My school is 100% masked indoors for all staff and students regardless of vax status, outside of classrooms/athletic areas we don't have to wear them.
What kind of puzzles me is a lot of parents are willing to risk their kids getting COVID, even though we don't know the long-term effects it may have on them, yet they use this very same argument when explaining why they won't get vaccinated.
