Well, That Escalated Quickly

 Despite being vaccinated, I've been briefly hospitalized with Covid pneumonia. I woke up Thursday with bloody flecks in my sputum, so I went to the ER. I was put on Remdesivir and steroids and began to bounce back almost immediately. I went in around noon and could taste again by 5:00pm. I should be released tomorrow.

The fact that I got so sick is a testament to the virulence of the Delta variant.

The fact I've recovered so quickly would seem to speak to the vaccine working even in a bad breakthrough scenario.

But if people want me to wear a mask, I'm going to, and you should, too.

UPDATE: Josh Marshall provides some context.
