COVID-19 2020

[Space Freely]

People just don’t understand what is happening


1 in 960 Americans have died from covid ...my guess is that number understates it and it’s more like 1 out of 700...that’s a hell of a lot of people

Yet there is no reaction

The vaccine rollout seems as flawed as everything else

No, it's likely not.

It takes some time to set up the distribution of that many vaccines. How many locations are there nationwide that should be receiving doses? 5,000? 10,000? That's a ton of coordination.

And there needs to be clear guidance on who is supposed to get the vaccines. Does that exist at a local level? Is there any accountability to that?


And there needs to be a protocol in place on how to identify those people, set up rooms with necessary equipment, ensure staff is in place to intake, administer and monitor the recipients.  Times 10,000.

And all of this only affects the rollout. Once that's all in place, things will start to ramp up. But the start is slow by definition.

And remember, facilities can't administer all the doses they receive, since one shot is only half the dose.  The most cautious approach is to only inject half the doses - in case you don't get anymore.

Also, they're saying you can't mix and match Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (Arnold Palmer, anyone?). So you're either a sole vaccine facility, or you get both and have to track who gets which one, and make sure you don't run out of either version...twice the complexity, adding to the risk.

So just be patient. You'll get yours. In the meantime, stay inside and wear a mask.

Actually, stay outside and wear a mask.

Ok, this was pretty funny
ben stager@bennnnst
my plan is to get one shot of pfizer and one shot of moderna aka the arnold palmer

Thought this had been discussed...
What if it's just a half a jigger of Moderna, with a full pour of Pfizer and then Regeneron drip as a chaser
Then for the second dose, you mix in some egg white foam and hydroxychloroquine stuffed green olive as a garnish

I'll have to thank Ms Hutch for this funny 'I'm just a Vaccine' vid that John Hopkins made in the spirit of School house rocks "I'm just a bill"

Am I wrong that that's the highest number yet?

You are not wrong..previous record was about 4750

[hutch]

So it’s not unreasonable to think when we are done with this 1 out of 500 Americans will have died from covid..

almost put this is the Musicological banter thread:

CONSPIRACY THEORISTS SPREAD ‘5G COVID’ MIND-CONTROL CHIP DIAGRAM THAT IS ACTUALLY A GUITAR PEDAL
"the image is in fact the plans for a Boss Metal Zone MT-2 guitar pedal"

i tested the MT-2 numerous times at guitar shops but decided that my OD-3 sounded better so i never bought one.  looks like i dodged the 5G bullet there!

Meanwhile record cases today and deaths reported at over 4000

Got my first dose scheduled for Wednesday at 3pm and my second dose of Moderna for 2/4. I’ll report back if Bill Gates starts talking to me.
