Which countries are these? I live in Denmark. We’re on 600-800 new cases a day and were around 72% vaccinated.
It’s fairly easy to explain why we have 600-800 a day even though it’s not “record outbreaks”.
Part of it is the 72% and who the 20% something that can still get vaccinated are (children), part of it is delta being capable of infecting vaccinated people as well as people who have already had covid, but the biggest reason is that we’ve opened society again with no restrictions.
We are capable of doing this because of the 72%, because even though we have 600-800 new cases a day, which while it’s not record numbers is still significantly higher than what we had when we first locked down, almost nobody ends up with severe cases. Which means our hospitals are empty by comparison to the first lockdown.
You can argue about the morality of opening society with just 72% instead of waiting until we’re near 90% but that’s a different discussion.
- nradov 5y agoThe country would probably be Israel. A lot of vaccinated people are getting infected. But it's not a real problem because few of them die. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/israel-doubles-down-on-covid-booster-shots-as-breakthrough-cases-rise.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/israel-doubles-down-on-covid... The virus is going to be around forever. There's no need for restrictions, we just need to accept the risk and move on.
