Re: Advice for traveling
(Anonymous) 2021-08-13 02:26 am (UTC)(link)As to risks, it depends a little on which vaccine she got (a study suggests the Pfizer is less effective than the Moderna against the delta variant - https://news.yahoo.com/pfizers-vaccine-efficacy-dropped-42-105945416.html), how long she is going to stay, how many people she is going to be around, etc. Everything I've heard about breakthrough cases (getting COVID after being vaccinated) says that more than 99% have not required hospitalization or been fatal - https://abc13.com/covid-breakthrough-cdc-data/10923757/.
I don't know if this applies to all airlines, but I do know some require a negative test for COVID-19 before international flights, if so, there's that for the flight in at least and the test for the flight out will inform if she's been infected on the trip (keeping in mind, of course, that testing isn't perfect and someone could conceivably get infected between the test and flight).
As to projections for fall, no idea, but it will likely get worse. Texas is unfortunately one where the governor has banned mask mandates in schools (I live in Arizona, where this is also (really stupidly) happening and I've heard a little about Dallas from a sibling who is in a business connected to the Dallas area).
Re: Advice for traveling
(Anonymous) 2021-08-13 02:41 am (UTC)(link)I suspected the general outlook on Texas was bad and considering the politicization of vacc of Texas as a whole it didn't look great.
I know hospitalisation from covid fully vacc is extremely rare but considering that she's meeting up with a group of 7+ and they plan on doing the whole bar scene, amusement park, restaurant thing chances of coming out with something seems exceedingly high.
I guess I just don't like the idea of online friends being the only ones she can rely on and having to run through covid with only them in a foreign country. It feels like she's already consigned herself to catching covid while she's there and rolling a stacked dice that she won't be the unlikely 1% to get long term complications or worse.

(Anonymous) 2021-08-13 02:45 am (UTC)(link)I hope you're wrong about that, because if that's true, your friend is very, very stupid and selfish and you cannot help her. I'm sorry.
