Semáforo Rojo Restrictions

The viral load in vaccinated people is much higher with Delta than with the other variants, even in asymptomatic people, so that the thought is that vaccinated people can indeed transmit it. I’ve not seen actual numbers. That said, at least in the states around 95% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated. I think the takeaway is to mask up and to avoid being in groups and indoors,as much as possible. We are off to Baltimore tomorrow for an engagement party. We don’t plan on eating in indoor restaurants and will mask up in groups. The party is small and all attendees are vaccinated. The wedding is in October in St. Louis, if there are unvaccinated people at the wedding, we won’t be going.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but the "viral load" refers to the amount of potentially spreadable virus of someone who is infected with the virus, asymptomatic or not. In other words, they would have to be infected, and they would most likely, but not necessarily, present some symptoms. Someone not infected would have no viral load, and whatever they physically carry on their exterior would be unlikely to infect anyone unless they had physical contact with someone who, say, wiped their mouth with the virus they picked up from the physical contact.

So can we stop washing everything we bring home from the store? The soapy water ruins the dulce.
