Why COVID 19 Delta will die out on its own

Here is why COVID 19's more infectious Delta variant will die out on its own. COVID is an organism stopped when it can no longer reproduce. . The COVID virus is stopped by those who are vaccinated or have been infected if they survive and both achieve immunity.  It will stop when no one is left it can infect . .  The choice those make in a county like ours where a large number proclaim their pledge to their ideologically inspired individuality by refusing to get vaccinated. It is either get the shots or wait for COVID  to get you and hope you get a mild case.   That is the fate of Delta. Like all organisms, a virus can also mutate and evolve into a new variant.  Update 11/27/21 The next one, Omicron, is already on its way from South Africa It is particularly virulent, though it is not known yet for certain if it can blow past immunity gained from vaccines currently in use. This chapter in the pandemic begun in 2019 is not over.

 An infectious disease scientist  I heard this morning on TV made this analogy: COVID is like a wildfire. It is a matter of science in both cases. Once a wildfire has burned through an area and is nothing left to burn, it will die out. The wildfire analogy should not be hard for those for us to grasp, we who experienced the East Troublesome fire last year,  the second-largest wildfire in Colorado's history.  This COVID wildfire is burning through Grand County, now. .110( in a sparsely populated county of 16,000 like mine) tested positive for COVID in the past two weeks. One died, and seven out of nine hospitalized were unvaccinated.,.  It will stop when no one is left it can infect.

Areas like mine have a special problem. We have been full of tourists and second homeowners this summer.  They come from all over the US and bring with them the practices and even infections that impact the local population.  To reach the stage where such a virus dies off also depends upon what happens in the rest of the country.  It is now September and the tourism season is over. There is a period until late November and the beginning of the ski season that will give us an opportunity to localize COVID's impact to county permanent residents.
