How Covid changed the California recall

Politico | 2021-09-08

Thursday night marks the opening of the NFL season, and public health officials fear packed stadiums, raucous tailgate parties and crowded bars could be tinder for the Delta variant, which has already ravaged the Southeast and is now responsible for spiking infections and hospitalizations in states like Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, where college football games are already underway. “I’m very worried,” said Peter Gulick, an infectious disease expert at Michigan State University. “You have a couple drinks, the mask comes down and pretty soon you’re yelling and screaming and you’re nose to nose with the person next to you. I can see that happening. You start off strict, and by the end of the game you’re in a whole other category.”

The CDC updated its recommendations to reflect the change, but even that is layered with variables, said Peter Gulick, an infectious disease expert at Michigan State University. A reduction in social distancing can be problematic in poorly ventilated areas or when vaccination rates are low, for example, he said. In those cases, weekly testing is advised. Early studies found coronavirus could live on surfaces for days, but it became clear over time that the risk of its spread that way “is generally considered to be low,” according to the CDC. That’s because the virus generally adheres to nasal passages, and isn’t adept at sticking to skin or making its way into nicks or scratches like a bacteria does, said Gulick.

Experts recommend that immunocompromised patients discuss the vaccine with their doctors. First, if you’re taking immunosuppressants, stimulating your immune system with a vaccine may cause undesirable effects. Stimulating your immune system to respond to Covid-19 could spark it to attack a transplanted organ, for example, explains Peter Gulick, an infectious disease specialist at Michigan State University.

Most disease experts still expect COVID-19 to be milder in vaccinated people, regardless of the variant. "The variants may cause you to still maybe get an infection, but not serious," Peter Gulick, an associate professor of medicine at Michigan State University, told Insider in June. "It would be almost like getting an infection with the common cold or one of those nagging things that gives you sniffles and a cough and makes you feel a little tired, but nothing serious enough to put you in the hospital or put you on a ventilator."
