1/ Talked with a CVS minute-clinic nurse practitioner at Austin today.
She mentioned that lately nearly than 50% of the COVID positive tests are coming from fully-vaccinated folks (asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, e.g. a sore throat), who are accompanying a sick relative.

2/ The underlying dynamic is potentially that one unvaccinated person gets COVID, and then turns every vaccinated persons in the household asymptomatic spreaders for a couple of days.
3/ Before the arrival of the doubly-contagious delta variant, this issue was not too concerning.
But now, this summer is going to be "interesting".

4/ The fall could be a lot worse for unvaccinated people, when the vaccinated population has their IgG/IgA titer waned by 8-10x, thereby becoming asymptomatic spreaders with higher viral load.
The 50% statistics is from that particular CVS store (they provide COVID testing service). so it's just one data point. but i think the broader picture probably is not too different.
