CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

For those who have listened to Stuff You Should Know podcast, one of the 2 blokes there has got covid recently and talked about it.
He said him and about 14 other people all went out to dinner together at some resteraunt. All of them were completely vaccinated.
40% of them have since come down with COVID despite this.
Where he is they won't don't test to tell him which strain it is, but he's pretty confident it is the delta strain. His Doc is saying it appears to be only 60% effective against the delta strain.
He said he felt crap for a couple of days, and its pretty much just like the common cold. He is able to continue the podcast and he just sounds a little bit congested, but otherwise fine.

At the Sydney family gathering where none were vaccinated, 24 out of 24 attendees were infected with Delta, apparently some are now in hospital which is a bit concerning because it suggests the hospitalisation rate is higher than expected for Delta. For the earlier strains you would expect just 1 out of 24 being hospitalised regardless of the age spread. We don't get to find out the real figures due to privacy laws.

btw., I think it's a tell about the spread of misinformation to assert 60% efficacy isn't a good result, historically this is about as good as vaccines get, the 78% and 97% efficacies reported earlier were questionable.
