    Has anyone seen a good explanation for why seven members of the Yankees have tested positive for Covid even though they've been vaccinated?

        What interests me is the number seven. Early data show that vaccines help keep people with no symptoms from spreading COVID-19, so were seven exposed to one person? Have people seen other clusters like this in other teams or other vaccinated populations?

        If we continue to test, what portion of our numbers are asymptomatic vaccinated people who are a different category (right?) than asymptomatic non-vaccinated people?

        CDC tomorrow will change reporting of breakthrough cases (not sure if Yankees asymptomatic cases would be defined as breakthrough; see original question) to only capture hospitalization or death. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html …

        CDC does count asymptomatic cases as breakthrough. They've made up 27% (2,525) of the breakthrough cases. So the Yankees would be in that counting. As of 4/26, total number breakthrough is 9,245 of the 95+ million vaccinated https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html …

        I should hasten to add that 9,245/95 million is not helpful because the 95 million haven't been tested. If the U.S. population tested like the Yankees there would be way more than 9,245 cases.

        The New York Health Department decided not to rely only on yesterday's experts on Twitter.https://twitter.com/AaronKatersky/status/1392598589663322113?s=20 …

        New York State Health Department is in touch with @MLB and the @Yankees to determine if the positive tests among coaches and staff "meet the formal CDC definition of vaccine breakthrough"

        New information about breakthroughs: Delta variant may change things: "The finding contradicts what scientists had observed in vaccinated people infected with previous versions of the virus, who mostly seemed incapable of infecting others."https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/health/cdc-masks-vaccinated-transmission.html …

        You can still contract the virus, even after being vaccinated. Just that any potential illness won't be as severe. That was my understanding.

        Mine as well. It will just reduce the severity of it
