Seems like everyone on Twitter has a breakthrough case.
…The estimates here are based on statistics from three places that have reported detailed data on Covid infections by vaccination status: Utah; Virginia; and King County, which includes Seattle, in Washington state. All three are consistent with the idea that about one in 5,000 vaccinated Americans have tested positive for Covid each day in recent weeks.
The chances are surely higher in the places with the worst Covid outbreaks, like the Southeast. And in places with many fewer cases — like the Northeast, as well as the Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco areas — the chances are lower, probably less than 1 in 10,000. That’s what the Seattle data shows, for example. (These numbers don’t include undiagnosed cases, which are often so mild that people do not notice them and do not pass the virus to anyone else.)…
NYT article claiming 1 in 5,000 chance of a breakthrough case
was surprised it was that low -- feels like the chance is defs greater based on #anecdotes
That does seem low. I almost feel like I have covid right now. I've had some sort of congestion since last Tuesday, still lots of fatigue, my sense of smell/taste got very weak this weekend. I haven't gotten tested since I thought initially it was just a minor cold, but I wonder.
So 2&2 is right ? It's similar to a placebo ?
Yes, it's like a placebo that is 95% effective.
You should get tested. Get a rapid antigen at CVS or Walgreens for $20. If you're positive then you can avoid spreading it to others. If you really lost your taste, then chances are high it is COVID.
I can still taste sweet/salty/creaming
There are no rapid tests in 5 counties btw.
