I studied puerperal (childbed) fever and hand washing. I died a broken man because no one washed their hands. Your compliance is only 40%. I'm back to help. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Sem… Buda Joined March 2013-

Jealous of the US. Hope my country gets more vaccine soon
1/ Vaccinated people are protected. BUT UN-vaccinated people are NOT protected. Take for instance Washington state. COVID case rate among unvaccinated people is as HIGH as it was in LATE JANUARY, near the PEAK of SARS-CoV-2 infections:
1/ Here's why it's important to get that 2nd dose of COVID vaccine: B.1.1.7 UK variant - 1 dose of Pfizer 49% effective vs symptomatic COVID - 2 doses 93% effective B.1617.2 India variant - 1 dose of Pfizer 33% effective vs symptomatic COVID - 2 doses 88% effective
So may as well add my 2pth-worth The data PHE released yesterday alongside other data suggesting B.1.617.2 is outcompeting other variants in India makes a good case for this virus having enhanced transmissibility compared to B.1.1.7.
