Delta has been a problem over here. Anecdotally, we had to shutter the bar due to 7 positives (3 breakthrough) as we got everyone tested post-outbreak. One breakthrough was highly symptomatic with a 100+ (F) degree temp. His 5 month old also tested positive and has had fever issues - they both seems alright. Thankfully all other staff came back negative so we’re good and opened back up after a week closure. That is just staff. God only knows about customers. But we’re offering free rapid Binax tests for those who want them. They usually cost about 25$ but we bought a shit-ton on a pallet so free for those who ask. Been tough to manage the bar thing as well as the 9-5 but such is life.
Our expected peak is August 24th with a decline from there. If you lot across the pond are any indication, the drop should be quick.
This is not the flu. Any comparisons between the two are stupid and should be ignored.
