Happy Amazon Prime Day! Presumably you've sent out all your Amazon Prime Day
Cards. And I hope you have striking outfits picked out for all your Amazon Prime
Day parties. You know, for all the hype, I'm pretty sure I've never actually
bought anything on Prime Day. It's not for lack of trying, the promise of a
once-a-year sales is a good draw. I just never seem to find anything during the
festivities to draw me in. Maybe this will be the year?

Well things are finally picking up speed with vaccines here - better late than never I suppose. Me ma go her second on Friday. And my second shot got bumped up to July 10 from the original Aug 31st. Here's hoping this delta plus variant isn't the fly in the ointment, Hans.
From the latest data, vaccines efficiency against the delta variant is as follows:
Moderna/Pfizer = 88% ( instead of 93% for original strain )
Astrazeneca = 60 ( instead fo 66% for original strain )
J&J, no idea, but probably similar losses of efficiency as the other ones.
There's already delta "plus" tho ( AY.1 variant ).
Edit: Corrected percentages from the National Geographic Article
