I would like to clarify this again, because for me looking at these numbers from the CDC leakage and then coming to my own conclusions (not those of the media) has really relieved me of a heavy burden...

But I had to do a little bit of maths myself, because nobody else does, strangely enough.
I assume that these CDC numbers are correct and more or less reflect the behaviour of the presently dominant delta variant world-wide.
Correct me if I am wrong, but
every week,
1) per 100,000 people, only
200 people (vaccinated and unvaccinated) will test positive and show covid19 symptoms. That's
0,2% of the population in the US. Of those 200, appr.
179 are unvaccinated and appr.
21 are vaccinated.
2) per 100,000 people, appr. only
2,53 people (v and uv) will be hospitalized with covid 19 symptoms. That's
0,00253 % of the population (I mean, is this really true? Such a low percentage?). Of those hospitalized, appr. roughly
2-3 are unvaccinated, and
almost none (0,1 person) is vaccinated.
3) per 100,000 people, appr.
1 person (unvaxxed) will die. That's
0,001% of the population.
Would someone please slap my face and tell me that I have miscalculated something?
In the face of these numbers, why should I worry about the fact that the delta variant comes in a viral load that is similar to smallpox? Why should I worry about long covid?
