It appears, hopefully, that the Delta wave may have peaked here in the US. Also, reassuringly, is that the UK, which opened up July 19th, does not appear to have run away hospitalizations or deaths.
Comment on vaccines. Vaccines are not force fields and do not stop the virus from entering your body. What the vaccines do is to have your adaptive immune system primed to fight the virus if/when it enters your body preventing you from experiencing symptoms or greatly reduce the morbidity and mortality of the virus.
Without random testing of representative populations, it is difficult to know for certain what is actually happening with the virus and vaccines in the population. It should not be a surprise, depending on the number and frequency of testing and the number of cycles used in the PCR amplification to detect virus or virus remnants in people, even with vaccination, if those people have been exposed to others with the virus (think Providence Rhode Island.)
