https://www.theroot.com/chris-rock-tests-positive-for-covid-19-1847708039Actor and comedian Chris Rock has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19.
According to USA Today, the Fargo actor shared the unfortunate diagnosis with fans and followers in a tweet midday on Sunday and urged them to get vaccinated.
Hey guys I just found out I have COVID, Rock wrote. Trust me you dont want this. Get vaccinated.
Earlier this summer, Rock revealed he had gotten vaccinated, opting for the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Breakthrough after full Moderna. It kicked my ass, and there is no way in hell I would want to experience the non-breakthrough version.

(33,980 posts)The CDC has just stopped formally tracking all but those that end up in the hospital or the morgue. That's the Trump trick - which, unfortunately, is contributing to the perception they are rare (and to people who have breakthrough cases assuming it's just a cold or allergies and continuing to circulate).
Fortunately, most of the breakthrough cases I know of are mild - but there are a few that still end in the hosptal or morgue (and more that end in long COVID).
All 5 individuals in my employee's family are out with COVID (the two mRNA vaccinated adults and 3 kids under 12). She is one of the most careful people I know about masking and avoiding situations where she might contract COVID.

(13,355 posts)So are breakthrough cases happening due to asymptomatic carriers? I was wondering this yesterday...
Haven't been keeping up with the Delta variant, other than it is WAY more contractable... so are there more carriers with this variant?
I got Pfizer, havent been boosted yet
