President Trump described the patient as a “wonderful woman” and a “medically high-risk patient” in her late 50s, at the news conference. Jeffrey Duchin, chief health officer for Seattle and King County, later clarified that the patient was a man in his 50s with underlying conditions.
whoa...Trump was right to be against Chinise 5Gthe new conspiracy theories are getting interesting...and this person is running for congress
Dr. Pall has made perfectly clear, Wuhan City in China, where the outbreak started, was the initial site of the most intense rollout of 5G wireless technology on the planet.

this woman thinks she has the symptoms, lives in Seattle and Her job is physical therapy for the elderly
So being a responsible person she spent hours and hours Called hotlines hospitals urgent care’s primary care doctors to find out she can’t even get tested And pretty much no one knows even how to get tested!!!
I guess you should’ve just called pence first, via prayer hotline

At what point do we shut shit down and everyone stays in their house for a few weeks until we get a grip on this thing? We all could use a vacation anyway.Can you imagine the impact on the economy? Think of all the hourly workers who wouldn't get paychecks. I don't think the $$ should be our only focus, but I think we need to focus on awareness, detection and help for those infected. This is not ebola. I think this is a serious thing and people (and hopefully our government) should take it seriously. But I think closing everything down for a few weeks would have massive unintended consequences

so i listened to this interview on joe rogan's showGreat. So, you've identified where you went wrong, now what do you do about it?
Just attended a staff meeting where the range of emotion ran from one person who was visibly rolling his eyes, interrupting our supervisor by saying the word "YAWN" loudly, asking "how many people in the US have this like 16? and "this is going to tank our economy" to....a Chinese-American who has been sounding the alarms in our office for many weeks who proclaimed that "Dr. ……. designed this to get rid of (Chinese) deplorables and now it's gotten out of hand."
Good lord, these people have PHD's.

just got CDC Director Redfield to commit to using his authority under existing law to make #Covid_19 testing FREE for every single American.
the doc states that coronavirus is so virulent, the air one exhales contains the virus when one is at their peak viral load - which is unfortunately before they show any symptoms). so before you get a fever, you're a walking atomizer leaving a virus-cloud everywhere you go. this is going to get worse before it gets better.
It is obvious it spreads really easily and is very deadlyI'm not sure "very deadly" is totally accurate.
It is obvious it spreads really easily and is very deadlyI'm not sure "very deadly" is totally accurate.
Guess if it spreads so easily that in a sense “amplifies” the death impactYeah, obviously 1% of a huge population is more than 11% of a much smaller group. Not wanting to give the impression this is a non-event for sure.
I still wonder about that nursing home...
I mean, if I'm just playing armchair epidemiologist, Ebola has a like 90% mortality rate. That is very deadly. SARS I think is at like 11%.
It is my understanding COVID-19 has a mortality rate of around 3% and a mortality rate of 0.7% outside of Wuhan (i.e. once it was identified and doctors had some idea what they were treating). This is not an instant death sentence. If 0.7% turns up to be an accurate number (and honestly, we really won't know until we are looking back on this thing with more data), that's a really awful flu on steroids. Even if the number gets as high as 2-3%, yes, this is a big time deal but I'm not sure "very deadly" in the context of other horrible viruses is accurate.

I mean, the younger you are, the better. No better time than now.

haven't you heard about "flattening the curve"? the idea is that if everyone gets sick all at once, it'll overwhelm the healthcare system and healthcare workers will be forced to make who-will-live-and-who-will-die decisions, as is currently the case in italy. the goal is to space (!) out the rate of infection, so the same total number of people pass through hospitals but not all at the same time. rushing to the hospital is risky both for yourself and for society in general.
and being a month younger or a month older isn't going to affect your outcome.
if only to pander to Jules, here is a U of MI article about flattening the curve (https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/wellness-prevention/flattening-curve-for-covid-19-what-does-it-mean-and-how-can-you-help).

Yeah, that's part of it. Deets TBA.
Having said that if there aren’t enough respirators and you have a person who is 80 and a person who is 40 tough choices will I am sure be made...but we are not there yet and hopefully never will be

Just had a beach house rental out on Hatteras (Outer Banks) for the first week of April cancelled because of a travel ban. Fine with that. Little irked the rental company is taking the tact that "the house is available and you are welcome to stay there, it is not our fault you are not a Dare County resident, ergo no refund or rescheduling". Really?

There were no new cases reported in China yesterday. So, that's a good thing!
also, i don't know if i'm ready to believe the chinese government on this. their initial reaction was as botched as ours, and i'm sure Xi is ready to put this behind him - so who knows, maybe it's a case of "less than 100/day? let's call that zero, close enough, mission accomplished!"

Stocks in March 2009 hit 6500!!I guess for me, I really want to rub Trump's face in it. It's lame and I know it will come back (it may take 5+ years or even a decade)
Of course the stock market is a big deal...am just saying one would expect it to go way down...then recover...eventually...
the increase under Trump always seemed kind of out of all reason given the president puts everyone at risk...but Wall Street doesn’t exactly go up or down based on common sense

Right. I mean HHS said 18 months, multiple waves.I was talking about wave one.
Here's my story for the day.
I got mail saying it's time to renew my driver's license ahead of my expiration in early May. Since I need the VA RealID to fly (my passport is also about to expire), I had to go in in person. I don't know if I'll be able to fly in June, but i wanted to make sure my license issues were taken care of today, before the possibility of everything shutting down (indeed they are now shutting down for at least two weeks) and me not having proper id to fly.
When I arrived at DMV shortly after opening, there was a line outside, and letting one person in for each person who went out. The line was about 30 long.
A short time later, someone tried cut the line and a Latina or maybe Middle Eastern looking woman (point is she definitely wasn't Chinese) reported him to the armed security guards. The guards asked the crowd if the guy indeed cut in line and it was confirmed. They booted his ass out the door.
As he was exiting, he muttered "fucking Chinese looking bitch." To which someone called out, "Hey stop that, that's no cool." I then added "Go to the back of the line you ugly Flava Flav looking motherfucker."
And surprisingly, rather than leaving in embarrassment, Flav went to the back on the line and stood in the cold rain like the rest of us.

So did anyone figure out what Germany is doing right? Over 40,000 cases with 250 deaths

so the official explanation is that they started testing early and often, and tested everyone - not just people showing obvious signs of infection. they also started social isolation earlier than other countries. per this line of thinking, they were able to shield many of the most vulnerable from getting infected (per WaPo (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/germany-coronavirus-death-rate/2020/03/24/76ce18e4-6d05-11ea-a156-0048b62cdb51_story.html), NPR (https://www.npr.org/2020/03/25/820595489/why-germanys-coronavirus-death-rate-is-far-lower-than-in-other-countries), etc.)

Would one even want one’s kid in a school when the school made a stink about one having to trim the family budget during a pandemic?
No kids so that takes an emotional element out for me. Really comes down to “do you have the money and want to see this school succeed”? Sounds like your income has been impacted. Mine and my wife’s have not just as a result of the fields we work in — we’ve upped donations to some charitable things and asked for refunds on cancelled things to go stay with the orgs.
Yours is a totally different case. If this puts a strain on your finances and the mission of this particular preschool is not a top priority in your life - I definitely don’t think you’re in the wrong to pull her out.
There are so many organizations feeling the pinch right now and it’s great to want to help keep everyone afloat but people shouldn’t do it at the expense of their own reserves. Don’t really think there’s a wrong decision here, Yada.

As far as concerts...I could see big concerts being out for a real real long time

It just shocks me all the handshaking these leaders keep doing
Remember that Presser with all the CEO's on the WH lawn. Would be crazy if Trump infected all those CEOs and they brought it back to their companies/home towns
goodness, sounds like the are using the same script from the impeachment, just changing the names
I do think there might be some value to this, but at the same time, why don't we focus on our mess and coverup

It’s very important Congress heed @SenRickScott and begin a comprehensive investigation of the @WHO and their potential involvement in Communist China’s cover up of the coronavirus pandemic.

Given what a germaphobe Trump is, I bet his hands were very clean before shaking those CEO hands. And I bet he didn't touch his face and immediately washed his hands after the presser.
I don't think they really know how much risk a quick one second handshake with an infected person is. Compared to say, siting close to them for an extended period of time, but not touching them. I've been trying to read more about the science end of it all but there's just a world of unknown at this point.
That said, he's supposed to be a leader, and those handshakes were not following social distancing codes.
I wonder if he's still shaking hands at this point, after seeing his fat fuck friend in a coma?

Between the asymptomatic, those awaiting results, and those who can't get tested, we're probably over a million in the US already, right?I'd say even more
Looks like the mask announcement is next on the docket
Oh no Louisiana
The way I figure it you could have ten cases for every positive person with a result of covid...easy
Everyone should assume they have it
When so many people have it what is the point of testing ? You are not going to test everyone every day and since you have asymptomatic people what is the point? You don’t want to test people, comes back negative and they go out...
Testing makes more sense when you are considering reopening (or before it got out of control) but at this point? If someone comes to hospital with certain symptoms you can assume they have it
(Spitballing here...not a medical professional)

The older white people (i.e. Trump voters), primarily live in suburbs and rural areas, where they will be able to more easily socially distance. Not saying Trump won't lose some of his flock, but a disproportionate amount of black people are going to die from this.

Wealth is a vector (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/coronavirus-covid-cities-second-homes-rural-small-towns)Julian's America has never been more under attack.
That’s what sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom tweeted last week, in reference to the spread of COVID-19 across both the globe and the United States. Wealth is not the cause of every concentrated outbreak dotting the United States. But it’s the common denominator of so much of its spread outside of major urban areas. It’s the reason why so many of the coronavirus hot spots in the Mountain West — Sun Valley, Idaho; Gunnison County, Colorado; Summit County, Utah; Gallatin County, Montana — overlap with winter playgrounds for the wealthy. The virus travels via people, and the people who travel the most, both domestically and internationally, are rich people.
I saw that coming...Please call your Congressman about sending us aide.

Lansing — At least 40% of those killed by the novel coronavirus in Michigan so far are black, a percentage that far exceeds the proportion of African Americans in the Detroit region and state.
The first statewide release of mortality by race in Michigan, among the first in the nation, suggests that the actual percentage of blacks killed could be significantly higher — the race of nearly a third killed has yet to be disclosed.
In Michigan, just 14% of the population is black. And while the coronavirus outbreak has been centered in Metro Detroit, African Americans make up less than a quarter of the six-county metropolitan area.

I read an article that said DC Mayor expects covid19 to peak in DC in June-July with 1000 deathsThis is just me speaking and I am not an epidemiologist I just can look at the daily charts of other countries and compare to ours and where we are, and also am listening to what the experts on my company’s board are saying, and from that, I predict late-May/early-June is going to be the wind down to normalcy and I think the second that corner is turned everything will open back up.
It’s hard to imagine if that is the city’s current thinking that any concerts will take place during those months
I am not sure why venues are rescheduling postponed concerts for June as the Ottobar emailed me they are doing for Guided by Voices...just isn’t going to happen
That said, I am known to be wrong.can confirm

In Michigan, just 14% of the population is black. And while the coronavirus outbreak has been centered in Metro Detroit, African Americans make up less than a quarter of the six-county metropolitan area.
On Friday, the Illinois Department of Public Health became one of the few state offices to release some racial data. And the data showed a pandemic within the pandemic: African Americans are significantly overrepresented in infection rates in Illinois, while whites and Latinos are significantly underrepresented. African Americans make up 14.6 percent of the state population, but 28 percent of confirmed cases of the coronavirus. White people comprise 76.9 percent of the Illinois population, and 39 percent of the confirmed cases. Latinos comprise 17.4 percent of the state population, and 7 percent of the cases. In Illinois, Asian Americans were the only racial group without a significant disparity between their state population, at 5.9 percent, and confirmed cases, at 4 percent. (Nearly a third of cases were recorded as “other” or left blank. Illinois did not release racial data on Native Americans, or on testing, hospitalization, and death rates by race.)

This was my thought today about this article when i was out on my lunchtime bike ride.
Also, two middle aged helmet haired hags were walking together about eight feet apart, one on each edge of the trail. Socially distancing from each other but definitely not using proper trail etiquette. I cut between them on my bike and one of them yelled at me "Hey buddy, tell us you're coming!" I shot back, "Stay to the right like you're supposed to." I was going too fast to hear if they had a response.
That's my trail story for the day.

Deaths seem to be trending down finally
Deaths seem to be trending down finally
It always looks like that on Mondays. Reporting slows down over the weekend. Plus, deaths trail existing cases by 10-20 days, and cases haven't really dropped yet.
Obviously if so many people stay home we flatten the curve but the issue is that during this time the federal government was supposed to be getting its act together so that we can prevent more people from getting sick (ramping up testing, tracing, policies on isolating people) and when in the future more people get sick we are not overwhelmed ...also develop a national strategy for reopening and even coordinate things on a global scale....this was why we have been doing all this mitigation
Does anyone in their right minds think this has and is happening?
Number of new cases has been steadily around 30K for the past seven days (ranging from 25 K to 35K). I think that's much more a function of number of people being tested than number of people actually sick.
The answer is no yet there are a lot of people who think the administration is doing a wonderful job.

consider how much we don't know: infection rates (due to lack of testing), mortality rate, intensity of the outbreak (aka R0), distribution of immunity (antibodies), whether antibodies are even relevant with this disease, etc... with so many squishy unknowns and tenuous assumptions, any wonder that the models' outputs change regularly?

Well the first day of online school is cancelled because kids started spamming the site with porn and racist garbage and dick pics in their avatars. What a great country we live in. Instead of making the day up tomorrow (they have half their classes on Wed and half on Fri, so one 45 min session per week), they're just skipping it and starting Friday.this is how it was framed on WTOP

For many in Fairfax, the first day of distance learning quickly descended into chaos.
One AP Environmental Science class group chat filled with messages such as, “F--- you, yiu smell like gay.” Users joined a German class populated with usernames including “I LOVE ADOLF HITLER” and “OVEN SURVIVOR #2.”
Adams, of the Fairfax Education Association, said she heard reports of users exposing their genitals and students forming private group chats to bully peers.
One 10th-grade teacher recounted a typical fiasco: Fifteen minutes in, someone entered his virtual classroom with a username including the n-word. The teacher removed the user, but the person kept rejoining.
The teacher tried to keep the lesson going but lost hope when the user began blaring loud music with obscene lyrics.
“It was incredibly embarrassing,” the teacher said. “As a teacher, it’s all about showing your students you have things under control.”
“If you don’t have any control,” he said, “how are you supposed to teach?”

My wife's results came back negative which is borderline incredible to me because she is on day four of a fever over 100, a constant cough, and body aches that ramp up dramatically overnight. I wonder how accurate these tests are. Maybe she just has a weird, random post-Easter flu?
She'll have to wait like me for the anti-bodies test when it comes out and then when they say "you've already have the infection" she'll say "I fuckin' knew it."Yep, this is exactly what I told her. Stay inside and talk to no one and XX months from now when we have reliable antibody tests, I'll put dinner on it coming back positive.
Anyways came back negative and she said 30% are false negatives..not sure if this is true...I don’t think she had covid19Thanks. Just read something that showed a (relative small sample size) test done in China and the nasal swaps were only hitting at like 73% accuracy in a known-COVID group. WHO KNOWS?
I hope your wife feels better soon

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a 5th-grade student in Montgomery County who is undergoing chemotherapy. At the beginning of April, after not feeling well for several days, her mother suddenly and unexpectedly died. The girl is living in an apartment with her aunt, uncle, and two cousins and all are grieving the loss of their family member. Due to COVID-19, the aunt and uncle are now unemployed, so there is no money coming in and food supply is running low. In addition, the family does not have a car, but does need to get the girl to the hospital for chemotherapy treatments.
The PTA, MCPS, and her Delegates & district council members are engaged to find resources for this family at this very difficult time. However, in the interim, emergency support is needed. We are trying to raise money to pay for their rent, utilities, and nutritious foods for the aunt, uncle, cousins, and young girl while the student is undergoing chemotherapy to alleviate some of the financial stress that they are currently experiencing.
Identity, an organization that provides case management and support for families who live in high-poverty areas of Montgomery County, has graciously agreed to direct funds to this family through their LIFT Fund if designated as such. Donors can make a contribution by going to Identity's LIFT Fund (https://identity-youth.org/donate/), selecting an amount, and designating in the “Additional Comments” box that funds are for the “The A.G. Family.” Contributors will get a thank letter that will serve as a receipt for tax purposes.
Please help this family by making a donation today.
Thank you so much.

Scientists say a now-dominant strain of the coronavirus could be more contagious than original (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-05/mutant-coronavirus-has-emerged-more-contagious-than-original)
Scientists have identified a new strain of the coronavirus that has become dominant worldwide and appears to be more contagious than the versions that spread in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study led by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The new strain appeared in February in Europe, migrated quickly to the East Coast of the United States and has been the dominant strain across the world since mid-March, the scientists wrote.
(...)
In many places where the new strain appeared, it quickly infected far more people than the earlier strains that came out of Wuhan, China, and within weeks it was the only strain that was prevalent in some nations, according to the report. The new strain’s dominance over its predecessors suggests that it is more infectious, according to the report, though exactly why is not yet known.
So maybe the Chinese weren't lying about their case totals

Does any other developed country show such utter disdain and contempt for the lives of its people?

I hear the argument that it’s a smaller percentage but it’s a hell of a lot more dead and hurting people.
Is it because most affected people are elderly? Or a disproportionate number black?
I am embarrassed for us. People overseas pity us. Like if we are so great like we keep telling everyone why can’t we get our act together? Nobody expects us to be South Korea but compare us to say Germany... our response is pathetic. It’s almost nonexistent. The approach is arguably to “take the punch”... Those that have to die must die
But now, folks just tune into that which fits their narrative, and fuck the rest...I do feel this is a big problem with the US today
Does any other developed country show such utter disdain and contempt for the lives of its people?

Well like I said ANY developed nation. Take Australia if you want to compare the US with people who despised government/rebels/jailbirds
I saw that!
Just makes it all that much more important to get our act together
Of course we need to reopen but we should be testing millions a day..and employ an army of contact tracers
I have always been skeptical of the assumption we will soon have a vaccine
Maybe we will maybe we won’t
The other big concern I have is who is to say it won’t or isn’t mutating into different strains which will cause different illnesses

MoCo Numbers continue to climb and climb!
But the daily increase is flat or smaller. That's what they mean by flattening the curve. Still not over, but possibly at the beginning of a very long ending.

So yeah, not as flat as I had previously stated, but nowhere near 1000 new cases every day. Were you looking at Maryland data?
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49894677181_829108469c_w.jpg)well if it wasn't for that fake report on 5/1 (come on people, you know Obama did that) the curve would be a lot flatter

I don't think you've spent enough time in Red State Country to realize that that is actually a major turn on for a fair share of the rube population.
It seems likely that with a imcreasedt testing they will catch more of the asymptomatics. So it will be tough for the number of daily cases to decrease if the are catching a higher percentage of the positives.
I mean I can’t get a testReally? Every PatientFirst type place here has drive up clinics. No doctors order needed.
Why would asymptomatic people be tested?
I mean I can’t get a test
What is patient first?Do you guys not have those there? PatientFirst is an extremely ubiquitous chain of Urgent Care medical centers in Virginia/NC (you know, the kind of place where if you need stitches but don't want to go to the ER or you have the flu but no insurance/PCP and just want to pay cash for your one doctors appointment every 5 years).
We call that urgent care center here I think

I don’t get that
I mean over 100,000 have died counting the undercount...with stay at home orders everywhere
Not to mention we don’t know the long term impact on the health of many that survive their battle or related illnesses or syndromes
Where you expecting a million to have died by now Space?
I really cannot stand anything that even closely minimizes the death toll
Again I know four people that have lost family to covid...one person lost two people
Maybe it’s your stats/technocratic background or work but the way you keep describing things relating to covid kind of comes across as insensitive at best and heartless at worst
Again, we have lost over 100,000 Americans WITH serious stay at home/social distancing protocols in place

well at least it's killing the sexes at an equal proportion to population!
Gender# of Deaths Percent
Female 2,296 51%

I saw that and it stood out to me as well.
One explanation that popped into my mind was that PA has a higher rate of nursing home COVID deaths than nationally.
So that made me think...who resides in nursing homes? And the answer...predominantly women.
For those age 65-74 who reside in U.S. nursing homes, for every 100 men there are 132 women. Among residents of nursing homes age 75-84, for every 100 men there are 246 women, and among those age >/=85, for every 100 men there are 425 women.

My wife was just on the couch using "Brian Sims" and "hot" in the same sentence. I wasn't sure what she was going on about.
Is anyone else who is teleworking now working on their argument for why they should never have to go back to the office?

I really miss the 5-minute conversations about GOT or Trump's latest or where they went on vacation or what college their kid got into
and sharing that same kind of info with them
Only argument would be I should be able to work remotely whenever I want (as long as it doesn't impact work)
Which opens up the 3-week vacation stuff with family. Where we travel to some great state park, I work 3 full days while the others going on some adventures. Then at 5 PM I'm in Yellowstone and can enjoy a 5 day vacation Then we move to anothe location and I work for 3 days and do it all again, this time at Glacier National park.
Is anyone else who is teleworking now working on their argument for why they should never have to go back to the office?I’ve been presenting this as an idea in my company for three years and this forced “trial” will probably be the thing that pushes it across the finish line. (I personally will still likely go in daily.)
My wife, otoh, is trying to make the case for never going back to the office. To the "I'm going to quit my job if they don't agree to it" extent. Not out of fear of COVID, but because she thinks there is no reason to ever physically be in an office, and due to her dread of commuting and being around people. She also thinks that the "new normal" is going to create situations where after commuting an hour each way you have to choose between waiting in a long line to ride the elevator solo or climbing eight flights of stairs, just to go to your office where you're required to wear a mask for eight hours, when instead you can get 11 hours of work done at home with no mask. To that end, i think she had a point.This is pretty spot on. I would also add companies that mandate in-office workers often miss out on the contributions of parents with child care issues (predominately, but not entirely, women) and disabled individuals for whom commuting is often difficult. There is a huge swath of talented female business leaders (and again, some men) who want families who are effectively sidelined for a decade+ of their career and have their their talent untapped by companies in the name of mandatory in-office work. This is a market inefficiency that is ripe for exploiting.
I also have a lot of thoughts on batch payroll methodology but I'll save that for another day.Let's just consider that matter settled
I just don’t know enough to understand Covid19
I hope it’s losing its potency and spreads less easily than previously thought

Bigger issues than 150,000 dead in two months and millions of infected people?
100's of years of systemic racism in the US is a bigger issue for me than Covid... not saying Covid isn't a big issue, but this is bigger in my humble opinion.Fully agree.

For a change of scenery after three months of not leaving our neighborhood, we went to western PA last week to see my parents. They live in a county where there have been approximately 10 cases. The town will most likely cease to exist if current conditions economically continue. This is just one example of extreme measures that make absolute zero sense. I'm not saying every area should open up and I think that's extremely irresponsible, but this virus is killing people in many other ways that just sickness (which has been covered in this thread before).

And hopefully people will wear masks indoors, everywhere. And stay 6+ feet apart. Some communities seem to take the mask and distance things more seriously than others.
Agree...serious pandemic fatigue
I think soon we just have to get on with it but with some new procedures in place and virus weakening I don’t think deaths will spike back up

Our region is rocking it...we did pretty good in the end
entertainment venues without shared equipment ....so does this mean the Brothels will stay closed?

Science Based MedicineI like my medicine fantasy-based, can we get some from 'both sides'
Science based is fine..limiting yourself to listening to epidemiologists not so much
You have to look at things from all angles not just epidemiology
If you just listen to epidemiologists you won’t open up til 2023
Let’s remember why we shut down..to flatten the curve and get ourselves -our infrastructure-ready to deal...we didn’t shut down with the goal of eliminating all covid death forever
You have to look at things from all angles not just epidemiology
Except you were saying we should open before we had flattened the curve. Your view was to reopen months ago..hell not even shut down schools
We would have never flattened the curve with that approach, smarty pants
Well I'm not agreeing that your co-worker's solution is right, but being metabolically healthy (https://www.healthline.com/health-news/what-does-it-mean-to-be-metabolically-healthy) is key to COVID survival
most who are dying have: Obesity, hypertension, diabetus and such
Elderberries are chockfull of antioxidants such as vitamins A and C and various flavonoids and there are some studis saying it can reduce (not prevent) the lenght of colds/flu..
So there are benefits in being a healthy supplement and providing gut health, but I would not say a specific covid remedy
I'd be a little skeptical of Pineapple juice...as it's tons of sugar
so unless you fresh squeeze it, you are not getting all the said benefits and mostly sugar
it does have some interesting properties and in small doses has lots of pluses
Covid is a science issue.... the crisis is not
Antioxidants are not helpful in large quantities.I never said that they were helpful in large quantities (chockfull I guess where you get that?)
I could rant on this for hours, but you'd have to be willing to be educated on the topic for it to be worthwhile.
Marketers and new age con men jumped on that idea and flooded the market with unsupported claims and dubious products. .... You're likely to be duped into handing over your money for snake oil.I 100% agree on this
This is why I prefer science-based medicine.(https://i.redd.it/9u2786ka6q351.jpg)

I think the thing is that alcohol and smoking probably make one more at risk and lowers your immune response too. So putting you at higher risk of catching (unlike at a protest where people are staying sober)
In fact this virus seems to love partying, bars and live music!

I do think that outdoor events like going to a protest or the beach pose a much lower risk for spreading
unlike bars/live music venues

Definitely no. This is absolutely incorrect.
You have no immunity. The symptoms of COVID are your body's immune system trying to figure out what to do.
Alcohol and smoking are higher risk factors, but only because they cloud your judgement and you no longer practice social distancing or wear masks. (Tho for real, people going to bars probably didn't bring masks to begin with.)

Having pre-existing conditions (obesity, diabetes, etc) may put you at greater risk, but not having them doesn't confer protection.To be fair, I’ve seen no one (on here or any place sane people exchange thoughts) claim such a thing.

Either way it’s going to really suck...our kids have special needs and NEED to be around other kids and get special services
And that’s the thing..a ton of Americans agree with Trump..even liberals are going on vacations - with extended families (I see the posts on FB)- and just saying Fuck it I ain’t old ain’t going to kill me...my kids need our traditional vacay with their cousins
It’s too easy to just blame Trump and Republicans
The people I see on my FB at the beach..getting together with extended family...are wealthy...and liberal
yeah, seems like the issue is indoor prolonged exposure
after ALL these protests, there has been very little indication that those events were spreading things
but a lot has been traced to bars/parties/churches
that's where the school thing is an issue...spending the entire day with other indoor is not the same as a 1 hour visit to the grocery store once a week

I think the thing is that alcohol and smoking probably make one more at risk and lowers your immune response too. So putting you at higher risk of catching (unlike at a protest where people are staying sober)
In fact this virus seems to love partying, bars and live music!
Fucker
What is odd is stupidy isn't technically a risk-factor. But it's becoming aperent it is.
Definitely no. This is absolutely incorrect.
You have no immunity. The symptoms of COVID are your body's immune system trying to figure out what to do.
Alcohol and smoking are higher risk factors, but only because they cloud your judgement and you no longer practice social distancing or wear masks. (Tho for real, people going to bars probably didn't bring masks to begin with.)

Agreed. Clinical trials normally take years. Any trial that is completed in months would seemingly ignore long term effects, for starters. Seems like that would be important in this particular case.
The only long term side effect of a vaccine is immunity.

how quaint that they think folks will actually self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. bubba just flew across the country to visit mom, and now he's supposed to hole up in a hotel for 2 weeks? it's the right thing to do, but i seriously question the level of compliance this is going to enjoy. we can't even get a significant portion of the population to wear a mask for 30 minute while they grocery shop - does anyone think these same people are going self-isolate for any amount of time? i supposed it gives authorities a framework to go after folks, after the fact...

So, obvious question why so much higher death rate in NY?I have heard that treatment methods are much more effective now than they were in March/April

Or the virus strain in NYC was more virulent?That is also being said

So my wife's friend has recently taken part in some gang bangs and just car fucked a guy a few days ago who she met on the internet and is proclaiming she's in a relationship with him. She also has custody of her four kids.This dog will hunt.
In the past six months, we've avoided contact with everyone. My daughter had one socially distanced, supervised outdoor play date. I went to visit my brother and elderly mom, both whom I'm 100% sure had been playing it safe. We got tested before going on vacation in Maine and wore masks and ate outdoors with distance from other diners. We maintained six feet distance outdoors when stopping by to see some old friends, who we also knew were playing things very safely. We also did a virtual happy hour with some friends. Other than that, avoided other social interaction.
So my wife's friend wants to dine outdoors, unmasked, not distanced from my wife. I'm as sex positive as Relaxer, so no moral judgments here...but i just don't think this is a good idea right now.
Is it?
I never been in a gang bang thoughNothing has ever been less revelatory than this statement.
Wait. If you are asking if your wife and you joining a gang bang at this point makes sense I have to say no

Thanks Dan Savage, I agree. That description of friend comes from complaints from my wife, it's not my words.
Is outdoor restaurant seating set up some you can be 6+ feet from the person you're dining with? You'd have to be on opposite corners of a large picnic table. I think the idea of socially distanced outdoor dining is being 6+ away from other parties, not other people in your party.

Do these fuckers really have the cure and are making people wait until the election
A lot of people, round here, are talking about a possible second lockdown. We are stocking back up on food for we looked in horror last night at our pantry and basement storage shelving that we are seriously low on canned foods / pastas / soups / sauces / cookies and junk food.
We are planning our massive Costco / Walmart / target / Aldi shopping delivery to our doorstep run here in the next few days, to have supplies for the winter. That's how we live out here in the woods and mountains; like men; like men with internet and credit cards and a desire to not step back foot in stores.
And for toilet paper / paper towels . . . we like this: https://us.whogivesacrap.org/

Should I pull the trigger and get some plane tickets to LAX for June summer break? Tickets are so damn cheap right now, even for fully refundable tickets.OK, are we setting the O/U on how many times he mentions this vacation before then now, or do we wait until he actually books the flight?
We would choose Covid safe activities once we got there, it's the flight and airport that's scare me, at least a little Bit thinking things will be improved by June?
I can’t believe people are taking the idea of flying - willingly- seriously
Seems premature
At our current rate we are averaging about 1 million new cases per week.
Probably we need to , you know, take this thing seriously and make some progress first?
I mean sucks about Thanksgiving and the vacation plans... sucks about the kids school.., believe me I know
I hope the vaccine changes everything

87 year old senator Chuck Grassley tests positive for covidPresident Pro Tem of the Senate!
Jez...My boss just told me he tested positive for covid...glad we all work remotely now
I think Sidehatch has more “old bosses” than Mia Farrow has children....Hopefully, he won't become an Old Boss...but he is doing well so far
I don't find it odd. Most of them are under 70. Then if you're over 70, you've still got a 95% chance of survival.
The CDC did not include an IFR estimate for people 80 or older. But judging from crude case fatality rates (deaths divided by confirmed cases), the IFR for people in that age group would be substantially higher than 5.4 percent.

How do I get my hands on the Pfizer or moderna vaccine?Get a job as a frontline health care worker (I think working in a nursing home might qualify)
So serious question
How do I get my hands on the Pfizer or moderna vaccine?

Gee now I am depressed....
Had to chuckle when I saw Phizer's claim of 95% effectiveness. Just had to be just a tad better than Moderna's 94.5% ::)Moderna has, seemingly, the far superior product because theirs (1) is a single dose vs dual dose, and (2) works with regular refrigeration which would allow it to be sent directly to doctor's offices and pharmacies.

I'm pretty sure Moderna is two doses, just like Pfizer. But please cite your source and I'm happy to be proved wrong. You are correct about the refrigeration.Fresh Air with Terry Gross on Monday. I might have misheard or the person talking about it may have been misinformed, re: the dual doses.

I guess people don’t think it’s a big thing but by time Biden takes over we will be at point where 1 out of every 1000 Americans has died from covidThe cavalier nature that half of this country takes to facts that they find inconvenient will be the downfall of the US. Period.
The American people scare me
That is really where I think the US really fucked up, we should have just had made it easy to get tested for free and I think we'd be in a much better place than we are now
first, you need to want to test yourself, i.e. believe the pandemic is real and be willing to make the effort to get tested.
second, you have to be willing to do the right things if you test positive (quarantine).I really think that most people, if they got a positive test, they would quarantine... even in maga country
finally, tests aren't perfect and they're only a snapshot in time -Of course, but if it was free and easy, people would test more

This is weird coming from me as someone whose business is adjacent to congregant care facilities, but we are way over-prioritizing ALF and SNF residents. Frontline medical staff, then teachers, then elderly starting with those with particular comorbidities.
I don't want to come off antivax, but if there's a side effect, its going to impact the elderly most prominently (most likely) so why give the frailest of them -- and ones who are essentially quarantined -- it first? I just think the order is wrong.

also, demand >>>>> supply. the non-ultra-cold vaccine from Moderna is on the way, but we can't manufacture enough of it, fast enough. so while the Pfizer vax is a pain in the ass (even though the shot goes in your arm - badum psh), it's effective - so we do what it takes to get it out there.
i can't wait to read/see reporting on the black market for these vaccines. you know that somewhere, somehow, the 1% will have access at ridiculous prices. i certainly would be willing to pay $10k (o whatever the price is) for a dose for me and my family if i had that kind of money.
...and $10K for the second dose? All the vaccines are a 2-shot deal.
You're obviously not a firefighter from NYC.

Also these tests could help but also might contribute to giving people a false sense of security about going out more...therefore increasing risk of actually getting covidSo if they aren't accurate, that could be a problem

what if we cut off funding to PBS, that's like 5 trillion right?
Let's say the average Joe makes 4k per month. 2.6 billion pays for about 650K people to stay home for a month. We're averaging 1.4 million new cases a week.Ok by your math, we'd have 8.4 mil cases in 6 weeks

Michael Mina, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, believes if just half the U.S. population were able to test themselves every four days, the country could quickly achieve vaccine-like "herd immunity" by letting people know in real time when they were contagious.
So what would be the motivation for people to take these tests regularly? I tested once for travel purposes back in the summer, and the state I was going to wouldn't even accept this antigen test.

So proud of my daughter. Straight A's in her AAP classes and Algebra 1 so far in DL. Has had one masked playdate in nine months and has barely complained.
I think we got lucky. She got DL for the two middle school years that everyone hates anyways. I don't envy the parents of lower elementary and feel bad for the high schoolers missing the high school experience.
i'm sure i should know this, but what is "DL"? i only know it as meaning "down-low", as in "please keep that story on the DL", or "he sleeps with other men on the DL."
Well there is also the DL = Disabled List

We are actually talking about having all the executives get it the first day and do it live on a webinar to try and get more people in the company to agree to it. We sent out a survey and close to 30% are outright declining or "unsure" if they want to get it, which is staggering to me.

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.

Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine expected to provide immunity for at least 1 year
I hope this vaccine doesn't become an annual thing
Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine expected to provide immunity for at least 1 year
All signs point to this being an annual thing. Also, the current slate of vaccines may only be 60% effective against the new South African variant. Expect more mutations that may or may not be controlled by the vaccine. We'll always be playing catch-up developing vaccines to deal with new strains, and it will become a guessing game as to what mix of vaccines should go in the shot.
This is exactly what is happening with the flu shot. COVID-19 is the new influenza.
Back of the envelope rough calculation
US death rate about 1.66%
Israel death rate 0.75%
Argentina death rate 2.5%
Mexico death rate 9%
Germany 2%
Canada 2.5%
So maybe our health care system is doing a good job particularly given the strain
Mexico probably has done the worst job.. case count accuracy probably varies greatly with countries that don’t test a lot probably looking worse..

Sorry I have not been 100% focused on this forum today
I think you may have posted it and you definitely looked like neil young in the photoI think it's funny that at least two people who have never met me or seen a picture of me have definitive ideas about what i look like!
I thought your pic was posted here once. Maybe that was fake news 🤷♂️
I'm not savvy enough to post a pic here. Nor do I care enough to bother figuring it out. If it was, someone else did it. Or posted a fake.
Plot thickens
Is this the same in DC and MD?Just got off the phone with our Silver Spring office -- yes: smoking puts you in 1C in MD. I'll see if I can get someone on the phone in DC in a bit.

I really can't speak for every facility handing it out but I will say from personal experience this week that the pharmacy I got the shot at was really doing no employment verification. It was just "and who do you work for" and that was it. The link to get an appointment was mostly passed around thru health care circles but there would have been absolutely nothing stopping me from sending the sign up link to a buddy, them getting an appointment, throwing an $8 scrub top on and claiming to work for a doctors office and getting the shot.Is this the same in DC and MD?Just got off the phone with our Silver Spring office -- yes: smoking puts you in 1C in MD.

So if you claim that you're a smoker, do they actually check on that?
Wait... So if you're a smoker you get bumped up the list? Maybe bump them up for euthanasia (sorry hutch).Yeah. Smoking is considered a pre-existing condition like asthma and bumps you to 1C-1 (https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/01/11/heres-a-breakdown-of-who-gets-the-vaccine-when-in-dc/) which is not getting the vax at this very second in DMV but will be soon.

It kinda tracks since COVID, obviously kills people through respiratory dysfunction, and if you smoke, you're way behind the 8 ball on that.

I can see the Jeff Tweedy, because we have similar glasses and hair. (Though I'm probably 15 pounds over my ideal weight, and he's probably 40 pounds over his.)
That's a really good question I cannot determine a quick answer to. It would track that, yes, but again YMMV depending on if there are medical records of this and how stringent a fact checking the vaccination-providing facility is being.Wait...

At least 1 out of every 800 Americans has died from covid
400,000 dead Americans
I don’t envy Biden taking over in the midst of this three headed hydra shitshow: covid deaths, economy problems (we can’t keep printing money forever and expect no repercussions), and of course the political crisis..... but someone has to do it
Willie Nelson has received his covid vaccineThis just says “this week.” I really need to know if he got it before or after me.

How does one find out local distribution centers?In Virginia, contact the VDH or more specifically your county’s health board and ask who is currently giving vaccines to tier 1A and 1B clients. It’s generally colleges and small independent pharmacies (not CVSes or Walgreens) at least here in Richmond. Once you know, start calling them and asking.
I'm as eager as the next guy to get the vaccine, but what's the rush? It's not like a magic portal of things to do are going to open up because you have your vaccine*.I mean, of course the motivation is health related. (Aside from Internet dick measuring points.) I agree it’s not a passport to more activities now but I do think it’ll be the case in 4-6 months.

6757 new covid cases in Virginia
We love PG ever since we moved here...
At a glance you need to reside in the county in which you are being vaccinated. Makes sense.
Virginia does not seem to have ANY enforcement of locality other than Virginia residency. (EDIT: There may be county specific "our residents only" vaccination events that I am unaware of but none of the pharmacies/colleges doing 1A were geographically limited.) Someone drove an hour to Charlottesville because there was an open appointment there from my company.At a glance you need to reside in the county in which you are being vaccinated. Makes sense.
Interesting.
In CA you need to live or work in the county, as it does no good to re-open a business in a county that has their vaccine plan together if more than 30% of their employees live in counties that don't have their shit together.
The scenario you lay out would be especially ineffective here where cities are not part of counties so every population center would have several vaccinating entities with varying levels of "shit togetherness" around every population center here.

So do i get the Johnson and Johnson as soon as possible, or wait to get the Moderna or Pfizer, assuming J&J will be quicker and easier to get?Why are you assuming you would have access to the J&J quicker than the Moderna or Pfizer ones?
So do i get the Johnson and Johnson as soon as possible, or wait to get the Moderna or Pfizer, assuming J&J will be quicker and easier to get?Why are you assuming you would have access to the J&J quicker than the Moderna or Pfizer ones?
I definitely think I would want M/P over J&J all things being equal but if the scenario exists where its J&J now or M/P 3 months from now, that's an interesting hypothetical and risk analysis question. Probably also depends on if you are a person who is more likely to get super sick/die from COVID over baseline (which I do not believe to be the case for you personally but I am not your physician).
I guess there's also a Julian's America grotesquerie to consider of if the J&J vaccine works in a different way than the similarly-functioning M/P ones, do people with means and access get both and if so, when is the acceptable time in our national rollout to do so?
The Johnson and Johnson has less storage issues than the Pfizer, and only takes one shot whereas the other two require two shots. So if they made equal amounts, twice as many people would get the Johnson and Johnson.Oh true, but aren't we likely looking at late February before it rolls out, and then we really don't know what sort of manufacturing ability J&J/AZ is going to have one day 1. Are they ready to ship 10,000,000 doses? Are they ready to ship 100,000,000? I just don't think its a given that a general population person like yourself is going to necessarily be able to get the J&J vax before one of the two-dose models at this specific moment in time.
But I wonder if there will be any guidelines in regard to to should get what based on how quickly one is available combined with possible differences in efficacy.This is actually a really interesting policy question and I agree with you that the CDC should put out some guidelines.
It seems like lower risk people should get J&J and higher risk should get one of the other two. But how many people to put in the low risk bucket compared to the high risk bucket is interesting.
Will they call it a Long Island Iced Tea if you get all three?One dose of Moderna and one of Pfizer is a Covid Palmer.
duh...where have you been, that joke has been around for decades...wait how long have we been on lockdown?!Will they call it a Long Island Iced Tea if you get all three?One dose of Moderna and one of Pfizer is a Covid Palmer.
Johnson and Johnson 66% effective overall.
Y'all are focusing on the wrong numbers re J&J
Y'all are focusing on the wrong numbers re J&J
Yes, its "only" 72% (in US) and likely decreasing but that only seems bad compared to the blockbuster results of Pfizer and Moderna.
Furthermore the J&J vaccine decreases the likelihood of severe COVID but 85% and death from COVID by 100% after 28 days.
Shoot it into my veins now please.
The number you should all be FAR more worried about is the fact that they will only have 7 million (and possibly as few as 3 million) doses available upon approval in later Feb

Seems very luck of the draw.

I mean, it's the immune system kicking in. That's the symptoms.
I have a co-worker who elected for this. I spent five minutes trying to convince him of this. Then I called in our VP of Nursing and she spent five minutes trying to convince him of it as well. He still chose to cancel his second dose appointment because of his "risk/reward analysis".

One doesn't trigger the immune system enough to develop full immunity. You *can* stop at one, but then you'll get COVID.

First encouraging numbers in months
Keeping my fingers crossed
Yea but an overwhelming percentage of 75+ year old Americans - and people working with elderly and vulnerable- should be vaccinated by then...
True. The death rate may be lower, but the infection rate will spike.While not ideal, that seems like a much better scenario
Just got me second shot. Awaiting the “Moderna 2 flu” that half my office has had this week.
First one gave me really bad arm pain like I’d never had with any other shot/vaccination. Kept waiting for the dreaded symptoms after the second but never felt anything less than great. Had co-workers who I’ve never know to take a sick day take two and swear they thought they were going to die but zero from me. Luck of the draw, I guess.Just got me second shot.

So, basically you guys are saying i look like any middle aged white guy with hipster glasses and long hair. I have big eyes, Gary Oldman has smaller, squinty eyes. Also, Jeff Tweedy has a bulbous nose a large round head. I have a sharper, more pointed nose and smaller, more oval head. I've also heard Butch Vig more than once, but he's got the droopy lips of a stoke victim and that stupid mustache. My lips are small and unremarkable but not sagging.

Do you guys who have been teleworking think our employers will demand that we go back into the office at the same levels we were once all adults have the chance to be vaccinated?
My wife says she will be looking for another job if her employer makes them go back to the office (she was teleworking one day a week prior, most co-workers weren't even allowed one day.)
Me, I'll be glad to go back once it's safe. Though I may ask to bump from one telework day to two or three.

I've been working from home in some capacity since like 2014 or 2015.... I can't imagine ever going back to an office daily and would most likely never take a job that required that, unless it was some dire circumstance.
I really do not enjoy WFH as much as I do being in the office. Maybe its my home office setup. IDK. I am happy to be back in the office.
If there's no real point in people going back to offices, is there a point to kids going back to in person school?
If there's no real point in people going back to offices, is there a point to kids going back to in person school?
assuming this is a serious question: yes, kids absolutely need to get back to school, at least kids below a certain age. socialization cannot be taught over zoom. kids under - i dunno - 10? cannot be expected to have the motivation and discipline to do virtual learning.
somehow we managed to make spring 2020 school work over zoom, likely because the kids spent the first half of the year with the teacher and their classmates and had some sort of connection to the group. also it was new, so kinda interesting. but come the new school year in september, it was a complete disaster. our kids didn't care about school, would not sit still, kept turning off their camera, and generally weren't learning a thing. they hated it. thank the gods of parenting that we found a pod that hired a teacher and was holding in-person classes at someone's house.
Totally caught off guard by that. I don’t think I’ll be running to semi-crowded indoor restaurants and bars anytime soon tho.
Did get my first shot yesterday. Hooray.
You, too! Which brand injection did you get?
I woke up around 4am and didn't feel "right", Not sick but not well, either. Didn't last, tho. Phizer, btw.

I also received Phizer... No issues minus somewhat of a sore arm.

I heard that one messes with your spelling abilities.
I guess I should feel better about the fact that my shots are still months away.General population is going to start getting doses in April, if not sooner. Not much longer, dude.
Sorry, looking at Phish dates.CONCERTS SHOULD RESUME IMMEDIATELY.

I think most of us should expect an end to remote working in the near future. I was hoping it would roll through the summer but that's unlikely.

Regardless, those employers who haven't learned anything from this and who want/need their workers back full time probably won't require it until school is back five days a week. And who knows when that will be.
4.58 million vaccine doses administered in the US todayWant to cycle back to this now that I have returned -- this number is insane considering where we were on January 1. The vax process wasn't in as bad of a place as people think when Biden took over (similar to how the economy was improving when Trump took over in 2016) but Biden's team has truly ramped this up incredibly well. The J&J and Merck partnership and the ability to get single-dose immunity out (that doesn't have a 3-5 week latency period) is a game changer for watching our numbers fly up.

Day 33: We’re already halfway there.
We played Fountains of Wayne as we drove this morning to get our first jabs.Congrats!
Waiting 15 minutes post-jab, they were playing "Won't Get Fooled Again." Seemed like my 80 year old "I'm not letting them put that poison into me" mom was playing DJ.
That’s great space
Am jealous...
Although I been informed that even if I get the shot I have to live my life like I haven’t cause I could pass on the covid to my kids who haven’t been vaccinated
A pretty far removed cousin had his around ten year old son catch covid recently and go through hell and the kid still isn’t recovered...hospitalized and everything.. real suffering ... kid had no preexisting issues
But like you am sure will do some things differently.... still, doesn’t seem like bars or concerts are in my future for a good long time...
I've heard hearsay that Moderna will have a vaccine ready for 12-15 year olds prior to the start of school. Are your kids in that range?They're in phase 3 of a trial around children and phase 2 of a trial around infants but I do not know the age ranges for where those two split off.

Also, wouldn't your kids be more endangered by being around (many) other unvaccinated kids all day in school than from their (one) vaccinated dad going to a concert a couple times a week?
so while I want the vaccine I am not as excited any more...so no more Mr. Give it to me

Shaming you for getting covid or shaming you for not getting the vaccine?
If that’s so the former is much worse
Hmmmm
I like to think waiting my turn puts me on the normal level of humanity...
Turns don’t matter?
I will wait my turn...
Is this more Yada slippery slope morality?
Turns don’t matter and never did?
Tell that to the tens of thousands of elderly people that aren’t dying cause they got vaccinated ahead of people waiting their turn?
Vaccine Shamers - People that think they're on some upper level tier of humanity because they're waiting their "turn" for the vaccine.So people are acting like they are morally superior because the haven't gotten the vax because they didn't cheat the system to get one early??

so this is a weird argument,
if those 40 somethings didn't take those vaxes they would have been wasted and not used at all
I don't think they have a long shelf life
Now I do think there are a lot of people who are jumping the line and that's a different situation
I think there could be some shame there as someone who is high risk legitimately could have gotten that vax and didn't...and is now sick/dead
i'm guessing it's pretty damn small...can confirm...

Nice try but I will not be baited...
Perhaps I’m mistaken but don’t you smoke, Hutch? If so, we are very much at your place in the line.
If you smoke, you are very much eligible now. I have helped about 40 people get vaccinations. Shoot me a PM and I will walk you through what pharmacies are offering in Alexandria/Arlington and how to check and what times they load new doses. If you’re willing to be up at like 12:05am, you should have something in the next week following my method even though NoVa is the hardest area to get one in Virginia currently.Perhaps I’m mistaken but don’t you smoke, Hutch? If so, we are very much at your place in the line.
My partner says it might happen this week
I think we were a little late to submit our info
So how do y'all feel about vaccine passports? You’ll need to show this vaccine passport for international travel, and possibly even domestic travel. The private sector might end up requiring it as a condition of employment, and service providers and retailers might require it for entry.
Being forced to show a vaccine passport to do most things you do on a routine day? What do you think?
Maybe we should also construct some ovens for those who refuse to be vaccinated?
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-25...icket-for-international-travel
Also, at CVS (at least the one I went to), you don't pay a dime, or provide an insurance card, or even show your ID. I simply said my name and was put in line (a line with one person ahead of me).The CVSes I have been taking people to were asking if people needed to update their insurance info but they have no super motivation to ask as there is a federal program who pays them for uninsured people and it, in great government fashion, pays more then the Medicare/caid or standard insurance rate.
I think it’s great
I am not sure it will happen in the US - I can already see red states challenging the constitutionality and Freedumb-but I would like to see it happen
Let’s imagine this covid plays out as we think it will and there are mutations all the time and we need vaccine shots every year and maybe booster shots too
How are we going to be able to somewhat go back to normal if we don’t track who has gotten the shots?
Are you just trying to be polemic comparing this to the Nazis killing millions? In very bad taste

I am as anti-vaccine card as I am pro-vaccine. IMO, getting vaccinated should be a personal choice, not a mandate for everyday life. That's all I'll say.
That’s the dumb rationale for people not wearing masks!!
When your not getting the shot threatens me or my kids it’s not a personal choice but a societal choice...focusing on the individual on a collective issue is misguided
I can see vaccine passports taking off in some states and also as a requirement for international travel.. some countries may choose not to let people in without it..
Should we also discriminate against people who are making bad lifestyle choices (smoking, drinking, fattening foods) that are positively correlated with negative COVID outcomes?
Should we also discriminate against people who are making bad lifestyle choices (smoking, drinking, fattening foods) that are positively correlated with negative COVID outcomes?
Absolutely, and if it was up to me they'd be last in line for their "turn" at the vaccine. They should never get a vaccine first because they're a smoking fat fuck.
Not really sure how this will play out with the PassportsSomeone voluntarily sharing their health information to receive access to private property is not a HIPAA violation.
We couldn't handle contact tracing, do you think we'll do better with vax passports
Don't you have to get a vax or show you have it to get into some countries already?
Getting into some HIPPA territory too
GQP is going to have a field day that biden is handing out the brown shirts and we'll all start getting in the bread line
even space is equating it to the Nazis
There is a difference between making a choice that affects one’s own health adversely and making a choice that potentially affects everyone adversely.
Surely the rights of the individual must be balanced against the rights of the community.
well, but the issue is the people handling this health info are not medical professionals and unaware of HIPPAGetting into some HIPPA territory tooSomeone voluntarily sharing their health information to receive access to private property is not a HIPAA violation.
Cheesecake Factory
God I hate that place
https://wtop.com/local/2021/03/dc-area-universities-consider-requiring-students-to-get-covid-19-vaccine-before-fall/was wondering when we'd see news like this
GQP is going to have a field day that biden is handing out the brown shirts and we'll all start getting in the bread line
even space is equating it to the Nazis
Them not being medical professionals is why HIPAA is not in play. Not everyone is constrained by HIPAA. Literally only 1% of the population is: doctors and employees of medical facilities. The worker at Cheesecake Factory is not beholden to HIPAA. If you don’t work in health care, you also are not beholden to HIPAA: you announcing loudly that your wife has a headache in public (while perhaps deleterious to your relationship) is not an actionable violation of HIPAA.well, but the issue is the people handling this health info are not medical professionals and unaware of HIPPAGetting into some HIPPA territory tooSomeone voluntarily sharing their health information to receive access to private property is not a HIPAA violation.
Will the person at the door be liable for a HIPPA violation if they reveal "Hutch just came to cheesecake factory was declined because his passport said he wasn't vaxed"
How do people not know this?A:
Literally only 1% of the population is beholden to HIPAA
Look at you Yada! LOL
Most people have or are waiting their turn... but we are transitioning - in many places- to the stage where everyone is eligible
What you have with DC is a particular situation that makes it so more people than in most states as a percentage are going to try to get vaccinated quicker... you have a city surrounded by two states doing a comparatively better job
As far as I can tell it’s actually going really well if you think about it..with most waiting their turn.. its a country with 330 million people and 51 different jurisdictions overseeing vaccination
see New Mexico or West Virginia -- are outpacing the nation on vaccination precentage.
WV maybe that is the case but NM just voted blue so they're not a ton of vax denying hippies. If vaccine hesitancy led to higher percentage of populations getting vaccinated more quickly, that trend should follow in the deep south and it really isn't.see New Mexico or West Virginia -- are outpacing the nation on vaccination precentage.
My assumption is demand is lower in these areas as well, right?

WV and NM had super easy to execute rollout plans and good communication around who was eligible when because, again, it was super easy to understand. I might more align with the more thoughtful equitable plans like DCs but I think we're seeing, a more complicated plan (1) is harder to execute with no experience in mass vaccinations and (2) leads to otherwise well-informed people not even understanding if they're able to get vaccinated now and how/where they would accomplish that. (The federal pharmacy partnership program is actually a super success in helping every state with this.) There's something to be said for "keep it simple stupid."
Assuming native Americans (blue or not) aren't big on getting vaxxed either, but I could be wrong...That's a potentially fair point.

Maryland 1383/million dead

Was able to get an appointment for my partner person lady for vax at M&T Stadium by calling: 410-779-9507.
Called just now, made appointment for Saturday morning. Easy. All adults are eligible.
^^ This is how vaccine passports work, yeah?
Dude, I’m TOTALLY going in and pretending I haven’t been vaccinated yet and getting my third moderna shot somewhere around August 1st. (Or Pfizer, to your point.) I’m going to be even more ahead on a booster than I was on my initial. #3DChess^^ This is how vaccine passports work, yeah?
it isn't, but i was wondering: once everyone had had a crack at getting a vax, is there is any benefit to getting a different type of vaccine. moderna and pfizer are both mrna vaccines so no point on doubling up there, but the J&J is a different mechanism so i wonder if that would give you additional immunity. but given how effective all the vaccines are, it's probably just wasteful and pointless.
I’ve been snorting hydroxychloroquine going on a year now... will that count on my passportThats on your Alabama Visa.
my BiL and SiL got moderna #2 earlier today, and they're suffering. MiL went to visit and said they were both zombies on the couch and my BiL had an egg at the injection site on his arm.
on the other hand, a 70+ year old online acquaintance got his second moderna last week and said he felt nothing. i'll be sure to hold that over my in-laws' heads, once they recoup (they're in their 30's).
I'm 23 hours into Pfizer #2 and getting ready to go for a two hour bike ride.

Of course there is the possibility some of the Mt Everest climbers are too stupid to realize their poor form but then maybe my brutal honesty will give them pause in the future..doubtful cause it’s human nature to want to feel like your shit don’t stink..so likely the Mt Everest climbers will feel aggrieved not reflective
And my unvaccinated mom is pissed that they kicked her out of the natural foods store for refusing to wear her mask over her nose (she says she can't breathe with it covering her nose.)
My poor mom in Argentina is all paranoid and pessimistic about having gotten the Chinese sinopharm vaccine which she thinks sucks and when if ever she can get the second dose
People on Facebook gleefully posting a pic of their vaccination card crack me upyeah, I think if you were early, was something to brag about

Vaccine passports are already happening in New York State.Not getting the greatest reviews
https://epass.ny.gov/home
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/04/08/vaccine-passport-new-york-excelsior-pass/
Testing Excelsior Pass, what surprised me most was how easy it is to fake.
Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the nonprofit Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, told me he was able to load up a volunteer’s Excelsior Pass in about 11 minutes, using nothing more than that person’s Twitter posts and information from publicly available websites. Posting a photo of your CDC vaccination card puts it all out there.
I fear vaccine passports could become something akin to the TSA PreCheck security lines at airports: A system that works to speed up life for the savvy or wealthy, yet literally leaves everyone else in the slow lane.

the FDA and CDC are recommending a pause in the use of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.This is the opposite of following the science. Tens of thousands will die because of this.
“Six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot" from 6.8M+ doses administered.

I have never been to Burning Man, but isn't it outdoors? Don't participants have the option to be at least six feet away from other burning men? It seems like vaccination requirements and testing is major overkill.

I don’t get you on this Yada
Did you suffer some traumatic event where someone beat the crap out of you for not wearing a mask?
It’s just weird for you to get so worked up about this of all things
We have lost about 1 in 500 Americans.. more than half a million people..at one point over 4000 Americans were dropping dead day after day.. more than September 11... we had a month were more than 100,000 people died.. more than ever in our history from any wars..wars that lasted many years
And you get worked up about some people maybe overreacting? People are doing their best to adjust to a bad situation..nobody knows entirely how covid spreads... what we are told by officials seems to evolve..there is some mixed messaging
Of all the things in the world to get bent about this is your rubicon? People paranoid about their kids not getting covid?
It’s seriously fucked up dude..you need to get psychological help pronto... your posts on this seem to denote a weird un empathetic pathology... like a complete inability to see things from other people’s point of view
people are a bit on edge and overreacting - massive once in a lifetime pandemics will do that- but from that to where you seem to go making fun of people just trying to stay alive is just bizarre
Boom...finally

Would be much cooler if it was vaccinate at home... Who's testing themselves after getting vaccinated?
Yada is 100% correct on this.
Yada may well be although not sure about what specifically
Just don’t see what getting upset accomplishes..
If current trends continue in a few weeks people are going to loosen up
In Arlington we had eleven new cases yesterday and haven’t had deaths in weeks
Why get upset at people taking a little longer to adjust to things?
Oh come on
I don’t have any hard opinions
Just saying give people a bit of time..they’ll come around

You puffed your chest after your sidekick agreed with you and started accusations of no empathy, I don't care people died, blah blah...

Also, I think what Hutch was saying was more...you should cut people some slack, 500k people died in one year...people are on edge and have good intentions on why they think you should wear it
They may very well be misguided, but mocking them doesn't really help
I am in agreement that outdoors and with just a little distance, I think masks are not essential, but I'm no epidemiologist
but if someone asks me to mask up, I'm not going to lose my cool and just put it on
guys as much as everyone wants (and thinks they are right) to ditch the masks post-vaccination...things are not looking good for that
The good news is deaths have fallen significantly
Coronavirus cases aren't budging — even after vaccinations doubled
The big picture: This spring has seen a surge in vaccinations but almost no change in the coronavirus’ spread, leaving the U.S. with an outbreak that’s still too big.
Where it stands: In the last week of February, the U.S. was averaging 65,686 new coronavirus cases per day. Now, eight weeks later, we’re averaging 64,814 new cases per day.
And yet, over the same eight-week period, the U.S. has administered more than 65 million vaccine doses — roughly doubling the number of Americans who have gotten at least one shot.
Between the lines: You would think that doubling the number of vaccinated Americans would produce at least some decline in coronavirus’ spread. But that hasn’t happened.
Guess what needs to happen is understand where these new cases are...are they in areas that have low vax rates?
how are the cases in high vax areas?
More contagious variants of COVID-19 — particularly the variant first discovered in the U.K. — have become the dominant strains within the U.S. over the spring.
That would normally cause a big jump in new cases, while vaccinations would normally cause a big drop in new cases. The two may simply be canceling each other out, leaving the U.S.’ outbreak frozen at around 65,000 new cases per day.
Deaths have fallen significantly, to an average of about 700 per day, down from a peak of nearly 3,500 per day.
But 65,000 cases per day is still too many cases. It leaves the unvaccinated — a group that still includes a lot of vulnerable people — at risk of serious illness.
And it leaves the door open to more new variants, which could cause COVID-19 to stay with us for years, in varying degrees of severity.

The question that must be answered is what else has sidehatch been wrong about?might be easier to make a list of things I was right about
So I do think that begs the question...do you all agree with Tucker Carlson?No. Wearing a mask after vaccination (indoors and out!) is pure theatre but it isn't child abuse.

According to the article, as of APril 23, only 33.6% of DC residents has at least one shot. Seems below the national average. Is that because DC has so many children compared to other states? Or does DC have a high percentage of vaccine resistant Republican men?

those DC numbers seem absurdly low to me but then again I live in a liberal woke bubble even by DC standards - I don't think I know anyone who hasn't received at least one shot - most of my neighborhood went to the MD mass vaxx sites so they won't show up in the DC numbers
I just received word from my employer that vaccinated people are still required to wear masks in outdoor areas, just like unvaccinated people.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/04/health/pfizer-vaccine-approval-kids-eua-timeline/index.html
a recent poll of household 7-year-olds showed a 100% degree of excitement about getting vaxxed. even though they're deathly afraid of needles, they've felt left out: they've watched all the big people get their shots and how important we've made it sound, so they want in on the action. too bad we can't get approval before the new school year starts...

How would it change the school equation a lot? Fairfax County has been one of the most conservative districts and they're planning on five days a week, with only medical exemptions, regardless of vaccination status.Does this seem to be de rigueur nationwide? Didn't know that. Assumed as a childless person with disposable income and teacher friends that many school systems would continue to be hybrid and have teacher staffing issues until kids were vaxxed.

I like that idea. Might be more effective if they spread the wealth and split the million between 100 10K winners. That would definitely be enough dollars to entice some people to get vaccinated, and with 100 winners people would think they had a legit shot.
Though the Republicans will never be about spreading the wealth.

I am a little confused on this topic, because I have heard anecdotal stories about people getting their kids vaxxedChildren don't have ID cards and pharmacies have basically been taking people at their word that they are who they say they are when they show up for their vaccination. If someone wanted to vaccinate their 10 year old, I feel super confident it would be the easiest thing in the world to do just by lying on the signup sheet. Whose to say the kid isn't 12?

So West Virginia's "keep it simple stupid" plan did not reach 70% but CA's difficult equitable distribution plan did?Youre too smart for this. The final percentages were never what we were talking about. They got out of the gate quicker than CA for exactly the reasons I said. The increased efficiency of their system was never going to lead to more people wanting to get vaxxed there then CA and neither I nor anyone said it would.

It only took me a few hours in NYC over the weekend to completely become a Yada about the overzealousness of masking requirements and some people's lack of applied science..
My wife and I are fully vaccinated, and my daughter was 21 days past her first Pfizer (got #2 yesterday.) Despite that, most stores and eateries made all of us don masks to enter. Other Half even collected our contact tracing information.
We went to visit an old friend and his family. They were in the process of moving from one second/third world country to another, and had a two month stopover in NYC to get vaccinated. Friend and wife are fully vaccinated and daughter had shot #2 on Friday. In spite of that, they forced us to wait over an hour for the opportunity to sit outside in the 90 degree heat instead of instantly getting a table inside in the AC. While doing that, my friend guzzled four glasses of wine (which we basically paid for since we split the bill between families and they had the more expensive food total to begin with), and their family insisted on wearing masks the entire time we stood outdoors, making it hard to hear them. They even wore the masks the entire time we were at the table, sometimes even putting the masks back on to pause between bites mid-meal.
I hate to be the one to break it to you Space, but these aren't your people.
Do you think they were extremely risk averse because if in the unlikely event (i.e., 0% - 5% chance) that they contracted COVID-19, their plans to uproot their lives and start over in a new country would effectively be canceled, and they'd be stuck in New York without a place to live, jobs, schools etc?

The seven day average is down 65% from a month ago (probably 95%+ from a few months ago), and CDC guidance has changed in that time. You yourself were advocating for the option to go maskless if you're fully vaccinated. Are you now against vaccinated people having the option to go maskless indoors?

Space wasn't complaining about public policy. Space was complaining about other people's personal risk tolerance. Space was also complaining about the price of wine in NYC and his gradual hearing loss.
Hey, when Space is ready to move on, it's time to move on!!!!
He was bitching about people not wearing masks in giant open football fields less than a month ago, but now he's ready to drink $12 pints at craft beer bars in Brooklyn, so time to move on people!!!!

So do I, but I think the choice should be mine.
Do you also avoid eating indoors?

No, I've been supporting my local Wheaton establishments and dining indoors for months, but I don't complain about their rules they have in place.
I'm beginning to think that you were really just annoyed with your former friend, and you're blaming COVID.

I think Florida and the like made the wrong decision, but I believe they should have the authority to do so. CDC should be (is?) in an advisory role.

Milan would like to have a word with you... several cities in India will wait their turn to go after.
(1) Personal preferences and you should have cleared that up BEFORE agreeing to lunch with that couple. This is going to go on for a while. He's clearly not alone in his stance if you had to wait over an hour for a table outdoors while there was plenty of available seating indoors.
(2) CDC is advisory, local jurisdictions have authority. You're going to LOVE CA if you don't want to wear a mask indoors or in businesses (before July 31, and depending on which part of the state)...don't like it? Shop, eat, visit elsewhere....

Also, are you sure about your #2?
In spite of that, they forced us to wait over an hour for the opportunity to sit outside in the 90 degree heat instead of instantly getting a table inside in the AC.
1a. Also, for the record, I spent much of that hour+ driving around looking for parking (We were going to check in to the hotel and Uber, but my friend INSISTED that they were STARVING and they had to eat at 7 or we could just wait until tomorrow. and then we ended up eating after 8 anyway because, well I guess they weren't starving after all...so we had to drive straight there.)
So it was actually my introverted wife and daughter who were forced to make conversation with fully masked mumbly people they don't really know outdoors who were doing most of the bitching about the wait, and I'm simply backing them up.

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Florida was:

Black or African American: 16.07%
Other race: 2.99%
Two or more races: 2.74%
Asian: 2.73%
Native American: 0.28%

21,944,577
So that would make latino 25%
Wonder what the breakdown is of those 12k cases reported?

I love the idea of restrictions and vaccine passports but they won’t be enforced. It puts the job of government agent on poor schlub working at a grocery store or restaurant for — Idk what service employees make — $63/hour?? That’s wack.

Its weird that you think "the reason" to get vaccinated is to avoid wearing a mask not to avoid getting COVID (or at least avoiding the most deleterious effects of COVID).Mandatory masks for PG county public schools this fall
So we basically got our kids vaccinated for no reason.

Well the vaccine brings the risk levels down to the extent that we don't need masks if we choose not to.Agreed.
Are kids basically going to be wearing masks to school forever? Because this shit isn't going away.I imagine when all school age children can be vaccinated, that special "masks in schools" proviso will disappear.

My kid is 11 and probably won’t be vaccinated by time he starts middle school
I am trying to understand a person’s mentality that gets so bent about kids having to wear masks to school…..and failing. Particularly when the delta variant is beginning to hit us and there is some lack of clarity about potential breakthrough infections, reinfections etc

Why would you assume that there's not lots of love and hugs in families that have issues? Lots of issues means lots of emotions, one of which is love. I'd be more concerned about the state of families with mousy wives who don't speak their mind and the husband is assumes everything is hunky Dory.

The federal government can mandate vaccines for federal government employees and private businesses can do so for their own employees but I don’t believe the federal government can mandate vaccines for all Americans.
In any case, at this point, if the federal government were to mandate vaccination for all Americans I believe two things would immediately happen:
1. It would be challenged in the courts and make it all the way up to the Supreme Court where it would be struck down 6-3 or worse.
2. Full civil war would break out.
Not going to happen.

News: DC will again require masks in all indoor settings, starting Saturday. Mayor Bowser’s order will apply to everyone over age 2, vaccinated or unvaccinated.
Yes what do YOU care about!? Let’s focus on that…
Lots of businesses will go under and people will lose their jobs if we have to shut down again…
You are so transparent Space…it’s pathological
It’s kind of sad and pathetic really
Oh no my daughter might have to wear a mask! Oh no I might have to work from home instead of going to the office!
Everything filtered exclusively through the prism of how it affects YOU and only you. And we should care about you because? You evidently don’t care about anyone else.

I mean what if we were like, "World War II", sounds like typical weak European crybaby loser bullshit. "We already did a so called "world war". We did kind of do that until Pearl Harbor, but what if, as a country, our response to that was, "I don't even know any Hawaiians". Or "they're barely even real Americans".
what if, as a country, our response to that was, "I don't even know any Hawaiians". Or "they're barely even real Americans".Sorry I’m late guys, the babysit was late and totally fucked me. She was in a hit and run. But don’t worry about it, the people she killed, the police said they were kind of just nothing and we shouldn’t worry about it AT ALL.

If not then they're not really vaxxed yet.There is zero — and I stress, zero — evidence that the vaccines take 3-4 weeks to give off a relative level of immunity or that at week 3 or 4 one’s protection takes some statistically significant leap from mere days before.

children who have a statistically insignificant mortality rate
There's so much stock in the rich world right now
Just to pivot the conversation slightly, should we be vaccinating 5-11 year olds now or should we wait until the Julian's of the world -- those who are now 6 months out from their second dose -- get a booster? From a health risk perspective, obviously its a no-brainer to booster shot your most vulnerable over giving a dose to children who have a statistically insignificant mortality rate. From an economic perspective, well, what 5-11 year olds do you know are revenue generating?
I just think, once again, we're not tackling this logically at all.
you bring up a relevant point: we'll get a huge bang for the buck by vaccinating the rest of the world.

you advocated boosters based on economic contribution.
or should we wait until the Julian's of the world -- those who are now 6 months out from their second dose -- get a booster?
the CDC is recommending boosters for the immunocompromised. not the same.
also, the CDC is saying nothing about adults before kids...And yet, booster shots will be approved and start within 48 hours and by all accounts we're 6 weeks out from child vaccinations being on the table.

Attestation or verification?
Now that we know that vaccines hardly work, does it even matter?
For me it says "You have satisfied the vaccine requirement (either because your vaccination record has been verified or your exemption approved)."

Thanks for this.
Am I crazy or are liberals now saying and rallying around idea we need to learn to live with covid that were outraged when Trump and his crowd were saying this?How long was trump in office in the Covid era vs how long has Biden been?
Is this cause in the near future more people may have died under Biden than Trump?

But don't we all need to get to the point where we need to live with covid and the risks. Can we really social distance and mask forever?
I wish this would impact people to get healthy as the overwhelming majority of fatalities were due to someone being in poor health to begin with (correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding)
Now that's a little different for old people as that's not really an option
You cannot be serious. A 90 year old cannot choose to just randomly be 42 years old instead.Am I crazy or are liberals now saying and rallying around idea we need to learn to live with covid that were outraged when Trump and his crowd were saying this?It's mathematically inevitable this will be true, but biden will get dinged for those who died after jan 20th, when infact they likely got infected dec/jan

I may be wrong, but I still think this is the case and the young and healthy deaths are anecdotal in the grand scheme.
there is talk about the dead not being healthy or young when all I am hearing is that more and more it’s younger and healthier folk being affected.
Again, am seeing people adopting the same rationales Trumptards did for months which we met with disdain.
Basically 7 months into Biden administration it’s time and it’s fair to take a look at how things have been going….
I think the answer is clear that they have gone poorly….we are at a worst point than expected… and just blaming Trumptards isn’t going to cut it
And I don’t see any new ideas or approaches which isn’t necessarily all Biden’s fault but he is the president.
Because I'm concerned about the midterms, I'm looking into a new mask
(my old birdwell one has gone missing...would possibly buy again, but the latest offerings (https://www.birdwell.com/collections/buy-a-mask-give-a-mask) are not to my liking)
I don't like any mask that hangs on my ears...so limits me, but found some nice options and curious what people think
I mean we are going to be wearing these everyday for the rest of our lives, might as well be comfortable and stylish

The KFF poll, conducted May 18-25, found that the highest share of unvaccinated respondents were 30-49 years old (41%), followed by 29% ages 18-29 and 20% ages 50-64, while only 9% of those unvaccinated were 65 and older.

So you were wrong. It makes sense that younger people would be most likely to go unvaccinated. COVID is less harmful to younger people, and they're probably cautious in terms of getting a vaccine that hasn't been around for a long time.

Doesn’t make sense to me…
folks hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest
in the early stages of the pandemic, COVID was described as an old person's disease. folks were dying almost exclusively in nursing homes and palliative care units. the news loudly proclaimed that young people were not affected by the disease (took us a while to realize this wasn't true). folks hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest - so plenty of folks in their 20's and 30's still thing it's not something that will affect them, or at least their risk is very very low. throw in some disinformation and a dose of peer pressure, and voila...
or thinks of anyone beyond themselves.

Basically agree with you. I have tickets to five shows and Snallygaster. I'm not too fearful being fully vaxxed and wearing a mask.
But what do i say to the people who think I'm being selfish because by doing those things I'm increasing the risk that I'll asymptomatically spread it to little kids (who aren't mine) and the immunocompromised?

I am sorry Space but am out of time for your stupidity
lets put together 100k old, fat and in poor health people who are MAGA's and see what happens
I will say, Lollapalooza was the flip side of this...seems like the aftermath of that was almost zero...but haven't seen many follow ups since
These dealing with covid purity tests suck
We all been vaccinated. We wear our masks. We all following recommendations and doing our best in troubled times
WTF?
We are not the problem… the problem is covid and people who refuse to get vaccinated or care
Oh and I have been to one show with ten people there -so far -as a patron
I have worked two shows masked and vaccinated
I am ok with myself and my decisions… I certainly haven’t been touring the country repeatedly going to gathering places such as breweries not that I come down on anybody
I will continue to make decisions on a case by case basis using available information including venue requirements
There is a balance between my need to live and perfect safety and that’s a risk point everyone has to determine and assume
yup people would rather shit themselves by taking a horse dewormer instead of a taking a free vaccine...great response

Thanks for asking. Twitter, of course, does not lend itself to full citations.
I derived the number from published COVID-19 death rates of unvaccinated people (about 1,000 per day). And from the polls that show 25% of Republican voters are unvaccinated, versus 5% of Democrats.

Tommy Stinson, mild breakthrough case of Covid19, a couple of shows cancelled.
Joe Rogan, Covid diagnosis, and already taking the Ivermectin
Rogan: He quarantined from his family, tested positive for COVID, and then “threw the kitchen sink at it, all kinds of meds.” He then proceeded to list said medicine: “Monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-Pak, prednisone, everything. I also got an NAD drip and a vitamin drip and I did that three days in a row. Here we are on Wednesday, and I feel great.”
Well, great. If he lives through it he'll never know what, if anything, actually helped.

If only there were something free out there… hmmm
yeah, it's kind of a third rail topicYes. This is actually quite a well-informed take. If hospitals were sitting 85% empty every day, they wouldn’t have been built the size they are. Managing capacity along the continuum that most hospitals own (the actual hospital, a SNF, an ortho/rehab facility, a skilled home health arm, a hospice agency, etc) is major lever in vertically integrated health care systems which is what you see dominating the markets. They’re not running at 50% capacity, trust me.
but my (quite possibly, ill informed) understanding is that beds filled is always in the 80% or up, so just little blips can cause a full house
can't keep having that kind of stuff, but that's why a for-profit health care system kinda sucks

Over the past month, we've seen rather disconcerting news from Michigan and Oregon tying COVID-19 outbreaks to two separate outdoor music festivals held in each state. In Michigan, at least 96 cases can be traced to the Faster Horses Festival in July. That same month, Oregon held the Pendleton Whisky Music Fest which led to at least 62 new infections.
While neither event required people to be vaccinated, attendees were required to wear masks and to maintain an appropriate distance, though images from the events suggested not all attendees followed the rules.

I would like to see if there was a follow up to Lola...as that was a great test case of getting a lot of people tightly packed (and I think generally unmasked....but vaxed)

Maryland Zoo to vaccinate certain animals against COVID (https://www.axios.com/maryland-zoo-vaccine-covid-e3d825d9-0a82-477e-bf78-81ddc609e132.html)
wonder if zoo's will have a higher vax rate than red states
Not sure, but they'll have a greater incidence of worms.
I think this is coming to independent venues….

so get this...the Libs are vax shaming the maga's because we want them to die?
and because they don't want to be owned by the libs, I guess dying is the only solution??

If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I’m never getting vaccinated!
umm that's not the 'normal' human response

I've started getting Facebook ads for American flag "anti-alarm" seat belt clips.please share, my google-fu produced nothing on this
Most if not all modern cars beep if they detect someone is sitting in a seat but the seatbelt is unfastened. Most cars have some secret combination of buttons you can push to turn this off (or use the mechanic sensor thing to change the setting in the cars computer), but some people have made, basically, a stand-alone seatbelt clip that you put in the buckle that tricks the car “the seat belt is fastened,” despite it not being the actual seatbelt clip that’s attached to the belt that goes over your body.I've started getting Facebook ads for American flag "anti-alarm" seat belt clips.please share, my google-fu produced nothing on this

Seems like you should do Moderna this time?
As of today, COVID-19 has caused more deaths than the 1918 flu pandemic.tis true and a sad milestone, but it is a relative number as well
Oh good point. I guess that means we shouldn't really claim victory until 2.5 million Americans are dead.FLU INFLATION PARTY 2023!!
As of today, COVID-19 has caused more deaths than the 1918 flu pandemic.tis true and a sad milestone, but it is a relative number as well
The Census Bureau estimates the US population in 1918 as 103,208,000 persons
figures suggest the 1918-1919 U.S. epidemic infected about 25.8 million Americans and killed about .6% of the U.S. population.
current U.S. epidemic has infected 8.9% of Americans and killed .16% of our population.
So yes, 600k is 600k people dying, but that was between 3 and 4 times more deadly and I'd bet there was massive under reporting on the poor and the numbers are even higher
You ought to think before posting such garbage SidehatchI don’t think pointing out that communicable disease counts are not apples to apples comparisons within wildly disparate population counts is somehow denying the humanity or seriousness of people who passed away.
My sons’ grandfather - T’s dad- died from covid
Real people with real families and friends.
Not just a number.
Oh good point. I guess that means we shouldn't really claim victory until 2.5 million Americans are dead.Ok people, I never said that and started off with it is a sad and TRUE milestone
It also misses the mark in that we have huge advantages compared to 1918 and STILL the number of deaths is stratospheric… if covid had happened in 1918 with 1918 science and medicine it may well have killed a much higher percentage of the populationI believe this to be true as well
it seems to say covid is not as bad…or it’s better?it was to say they are different and the 1918 was pretty freaking bad
#FuckCovidcan confirm
As of today, COVID-19 has caused more deaths than the 1918 flu pandemic.tis true and a sad milestone, but it is a relative number as well

Is The Worst Over? Modelers Predict A Steady Decline In COVID Cases Through March

Americans may be able to breathe a tentative sigh of relief soon, according to researchers studying the trajectory of the pandemic.
The delta surge appears to be peaking nationally, and cases and deaths will likely decline steadily now through the spring without a significant winter surge, according to a new analysis shared with NPR by a consortium of researchers advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
got an email from my employer this morning: show proof of vax by 11/11 or prepare to be fired. the missus is also under a corporate mandate to get the shot. obviously not a problem for either of us since we got moderna'ed as soon as we became eligible.
anyone else being asked/forced to vax by their employer? federal workers: we know ;D

We've held multiple clinics and literally are handing out $100 cash bonuses on the spot for people who get vaxxed and cannot get that portion of our labor pool above 45% vaxxed.have they tried free beer and $100?
Well we feel a little weird handing out the beer here at, you know, a medical facility so no. But I assure you, we've tried everything possible. We did surveys of the unvaxed -- would you get vaxed for $250 a shot? Nope. Huge hesitancy in the non-college educated African-American community (which is 85% of the personal care aides/certified nursing assistants in the country).We've held multiple clinics and literally are handing out $100 cash bonuses on the spot for people who get vaxxed and cannot get that portion of our labor pool above 45% vaxxed.have they tried free beer and $100?

You won't get one. Current case law states if employees’ beliefs are “sincerely held,” then employers must reasonably accommodate them. This can be done by allowing them to work from home or agreeing to a testing regimen.

Prior to March 2020, how many days a week were you expected to be in the office?
5 days a week with work from home days rarely granted. Remote work was severely curtailed and repeatedly denied.
My partner in life recently had a dr's appointment for a very specific issue and the entire appointment, the dr. who is highly recommended and one of the best in the business around their specialty complained to my partner (the patient) the entire appoinment that she was mandated to get the vaccine if she wanted to continue performing surgeries. She stated multiple times in the appointment that she felt the vaccine isn't necessary... I couldn't believe it.

Oh they definitely lost people which is why I think they dialed back the 4 days a week set schedule in July to 3 days a week of your choosing for in office recently. Plus it seems most organizations are doing a 2 or 3 day a week in office so we were not even aligning to the norm.
If DC ever allows for organizations to mandate vaccinations, I'll be curious to see if we do it. I personally didn't want to disclose if I had been vaccinated but my second shot was scheduled the second day of starting there so I kinda felt that I had to give a solid reason why I was disappearing for a couple hours in the afternoon being so new.

Well, the vet is the same company we went to for over a decade and they provided perfect care until the fuck up...
The partner's recommendation came directly from her GP and other than her vaccine slant, she's the best in her specialty. Who do you recommend Dr. Space?
Why didn't you want to disclose that you had been vaccinated?

This is a Covid horror story in which no one actually gets Covid, and it could still happen to anyone
It's not public information and no one's business. I didn't tell the office that I was up to date on all my other vaccinations and that I fully support vaccinations overall. It has nothing to do with my skillset.
some random old dude breaking his foot and needing PT and ortho care had little business being in the hospital for more than 12 hours aside from "the hospital stops making fucking money the second they discharge him."
Even if it did! Do the surgery, stabilize, send home with an order for PT and wound care to start within 24 hours. Need to convalesce for three days to stabilize? Send to the ortho-facility down the road that is IN NO WAY overrun by Covid cases. (Oh, but wait, I bet the hospital group doesn't own that.) None of this requires the dude being in the hospital "for a week" like the lady says they were planning unless his health was being wildly misrepresented in the tweets.some random old dude breaking his foot and needing PT and ortho care had little business being in the hospital for more than 12 hours aside from "the hospital stops making fucking money the second they discharge him."
I thought the same thing when I read it, unless the injury was so bad that he needed surgery to put a rod or pin in or something.

DC has so few cases…wouldn’t surprise me if the indoor mask requirement is dropped in next few weeks
I think it would make sense
You don’t want to insist people wear masks if there is little need or people might not wear them when there is a need…
I consider 150 pretty few but I will leave it up to the professionals to make that determination
Just saying wouldn’t surprise me.

I had to look at that 12 times before I realized I was missing the word "eligible".that was key and I made sure to include that word
These are really not bad numbers. If the government would get off their ass and extend vaccines to all school-age children so you see those numbers increase by another 6-8% and stop being so skimpy with the boosters, we'd beat this thing down pretty quickly.
unfortunately this has become a MAGA vs the Libs thing
Looking at this:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/241488/population-of-the-us-by-sex-and-age/
I would say maybe 10.35% of US populaton is 5-11. Are you saying 60-80% of 5-11 age group will be vaccinated? Highly doubt it.
I agree they are good numbers, but I think we wanted to hit those numbers with the entire populationHere's your same 6 states without factoring out "ineligibles":
So what are the numbers with the 'ineligible'
Looking at this:OK, fair. 6% is probably your ceiling not your floor. But the underlying point remains that start to get real close to that 70-75% figure that we still think is the "when does R become < 1".

At that time he will be 31 years old.

NBA salaries are exploding and some dude who is an All-Pro player at age 21 and goes on to have a LeBron-esque career will at some point make a billion in on-the-court earnings (Luka Doncic if I had to guess someone specifically) but it ain't going to be an already getting-worse Kyrie Irving.
I’m not saying Kyrie is wrong (still doing the research for myself) but couldn’t all his fears be accomplished just by tracking his iPhone, online presence etc.?

So when should I get my booster? I got my second shot April 9. I'm technically eligible now, since I have a BMI over 25.Just go get it. I don't agree with your contention that there will be a supply chain issue 2 months from now when kids can get shots and the booster age is lowered but if that was the case, doesn't it make sense to get now when there's a glut of doses? Additionally, what is gained by waiting? Maybe your immunity level hasn't started to drop, but if not, what is harmed by going ahead and getting ahead of time?

Why'd you get vaccinated in the first place if you still do nothing other than attend fully vaxxed/masked concerts? Seems like you're pretty low risk for catching or spreading it.

It would seem likely that we will need periodic booster shots for COVID the same way we do the flu or tetanus, but I think anyone who is telling you definitively if that's going to be "every 6 months" or "every 6 years" or some specific point on the timeline between the two is probably talking out their butt.

Again anecdotal, but the third Moderna shot was like running face first into a brick wall for both my wife and I and we both had had the most minor of side effects from Doses 1 and 2 (and my extraneous J&J).
Man, I’d only be talking out my ass on that. Let me try to give some details with as little ass talk as possible: my wife did not get a publicity-induced shot of J+J and she was solidly 8+ months out from her second dose. I have to believe — as a person who says “trust scientists” — that there is some truth to waning immunity. Her reaction to moderna #3 has to mean something. I can’t say if it’s a bug or a feature.Again anecdotal, but the third Moderna shot was like running face first into a brick wall for both my wife and I and we both had had the most minor of side effects from Doses 1 and 2 (and my extraneous J&J).
Wonder if this was because your antibodies were pretty much still intact from your first three shots? At this point of course I'm talking out of my ass.

Man, I’d only be talking out my ass on that. Let me try to give some details with as little ass talk as possible: my wife did not get a publicity-induced shot of J+J and she was solidly 8+ months out from her second dose. I have to believe — as a person who says “trust scientists” — that there is some truth to waning immunity. Her reaction to moderna #3 has to mean something. I can’t say if it’s a bug or a feature.Again anecdotal, but the third Moderna shot was like running face first into a brick wall for both my wife and I and we both had had the most minor of side effects from Doses 1 and 2 (and my extraneous J&J).
Wonder if this was because your antibodies were pretty much still intact from your first three shots? At this point of course I'm talking out of my ass.
That said, I also agree with you that I was not as thirsty to get shot 4 as I was shot one. I’ll probably be fine if I contract COVID. My wife will too, from a look at the comorbidities . That said I think people need to what their personal goal is. From a public health standpoint, it makes no difference socially if I get COVID and get don’t get sick enough that I take up a hospital bed and require interventions.
But I personally would prefer not to get COVID. I’d prefer not to get COVID and not get sick but potentially long term effects. I’d prefer to never contract COVID. I don’t think that’s a life or death difference at this point for me. But it’s my preference. Hence, I’ll get a third/fourth shot. Just me.
If you’ve got two shots in your arm, I’m not going to give you grief for not getting a booster as quick as I do absent new info that’s unarguable coming out.

The UK becomes the first country to approve an antiviral pill to treat COVID-19
On Thursday, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved the use of the antiviral pill jointly developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. The molnupiravir tablet will be taken twice daily by vulnerable patients who have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19. UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the new treatment would be a "gamechanger" after the UK became the first country in the world to approve a drug of its kind.
Hang on, we will get there.a company can be fined $136,532.
that is an oddly specific integer.

Maybe my rough estimates are wrong but what astounds me about the UK is that in the last 8 months of so they have had like 4 million new cases but 15k deaths
Is it cause they are vaxxed ? Cause they are being hit with weaker covid variants?
Why are we testing deer for COVID??I know, imagine trying to get a swab in it's nose?!

Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19) expects to play Sunday for Packers
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19) said there is a "small possibility" he won't play in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
WHAT IT MEANS:
Rodgers is eligible to return to the Packers on Saturday for the first time following a 10-day quarantine period. Davante Adams finished with 42 yards on 14 targets in Jordan Love's first NFL start, so Rodgers' return would be an obvious upgrade for the receiver's outlook and the offense as a whole. He will still need to be cleared medically by Joe Rogan, but the expectation is that Rodgers will be back under center for Green Bay on Sunday.

You know you want me to respond. US up 15.7% in the last week. The state I'm driving to for Thanksgiving, up 62%. But I guess the current mainstream liberal line of thinking is don't worry about numbers if you're boostered and don't worry about masks unless you're old or compromised.

So are you saying they are the mainstream? MoCo median age is 39.7, compared to 34 for DC (and 38.1 for all of US). So plenty of old people. Nothing wrong with masks. They've saved millions of lives.

I’m sorry, what?
That article says that they had 606 new cases in the last week of October and 121 of the new cases were vaccinated individuals (breakthrough cases). That’s 20%, not 80%.
In addition, VT has the 8th lowest hospitalization rate in the nation because their vax rate is so high.

THanks for correcting me. I misread the graph. I miss my large old man work monitor. I guess I was looking for evidence that we all need to get the booster. Perhaps we don't (not really enough info in the article to tell if the deceasing ratio of unvaxxed with COVID to vaxxed with COVIS is due to more people still getting vaxxed and hence a larger pool for them and smaller pool of unvaxxed, or breakthrough cases happening with more regularity to due waning vaccine effectiveness over time.)

What is your source? This one seems to say otherwise.
On Tuesday morning, head of Public Health Services Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis told the Knesset Law and Constitution Committee that the first data about the efficacy of the corona vaccines against Omicron were expected to be shared with Israel by South Africa during the day.
A few hours later, Horowitz spoke about the subject during a visit at the Soroka-University Medical Center in Beersheba.
“In the coming days we will have more accurate information about the efficacy of the vaccine against Omicron, but there is already room for optimism, and there are initial indications that those who are vaccinated with a vaccine still valid or with a booster will also be protected from this variant,” Horowitz noted.

I mean, nobody really knows, and won't likely know for 2 weeks. But if you search for 'omicron vaccine', your link is literally the only one that is optimistic. The CEO of Moderna - who lives and breathes this issue very single day - says that they're expecting far less protection against omicron than other variants.
It’s a weird time
805,000 Americans- at least- have died after contracting covid
And I will continue wearing my mask almost everywhere when out and staying up to date on vaccination….
And yet until science bears out that omicron is more contagious or deadly I am just not interested in hearing about it or panicking
Some in the media seem to want to make everyone panic and some have gotten into a bit of a disaster flick loop where they get almost excited by new developments
Long term the continuing number of new variants developing is worrisome
Some in the media seem to want to make everyone panic and some have gotten into a bit of a disaster flick loop where they get almost excited by new developmentscan confirm
I have come to believe covid in the US would have been a shit show regardless… I mean tons of people have died from covid under Biden and that’s with the vaccines
Would think the likelihood of a gop voter who lost a friend or relative has got to be way higher than if you were a democrat
Can someone explain why UMD is canceling commencement? Can’t you enforce mask wearing and (possibly) require vaccination status? If not, couldn’t you move it outside?

I mean, we're at the beginning of the next wave. The current spike in cases is an echo from Thanksgiving holiday travel. Omicron breaks through vaccines and boosters. Maryland is already seeing a spike in hospital admissions. High schools are shutting down, and sports are being canceled. Why should we pack 10,000 people into an enclosed space for something that we can do online?
So is the emerging consensus this new variant spreads easier - even with full vaccine- but is not that bad ?
Anyone else getting 2020 vibes? I feel like MoCo is going to cave after the break and go back to virtual school the way this is trending.I am

I mean the UK had over 90,000 cases and 111 deaths today and it’s been like that for the past few weeks in Europe, right?
That’s my armchair take…but I’ll still mask at stores.I mean the UK had over 90,000 cases and 111 deaths today and it’s been like that for the past few weeks in Europe, right?
That seemsa very low death rate for so many cases. are you saying thats evidence thay Omicron os not very deadly in a highly vaccinated population?
Death surges trail cases by a couple of weeks.of course

I guess I was saying I am not going to freak out….yet
Now if I was unvaccinated or lived somewhere with real low vaccinated rates I would probably freak out
There was a great article about DHS Secretary Becerra saying something about how we need to focus on severity of cases and not “new cases”
My concern about letting Covid19 variants burn through populations is rise of new mutations like what if we get one that spreads really easily AND is super deadly… seems like if viruses weaken this is unlikely?

School isn’t just about taking tests or being in a classroom listening to teachers…that’s arguably for many the least important part
Particularly for younger kids it’s about learning to be social, make friendships….relate
Older kids obviously will bear virtual learning much better than younger kids…
What gets me about those always in favor of shutting down in the name of safety is they never give any consideration to all the other costs of doing so… it’s like those costs don’t matter because all that matters is not dying but what living are you left with… is someone going to step in and take care of the kids that get left behind…alive but… how many years do they need to stay home? Forever? And how likely is it my fully vaccinated kids would get covid and die from school? I mean it must be infinitesimal!
It’s just so moronic… the failure to balance all the costs with the benefit… as if a case of covid for a fully vaccinated person who wears masks to school is automatic death…

do you seriously think that policy makers did not consider the costs and benefits of various mandates before declaring them? "oh, mary says we should lockdown - i dunno, sounds good to me, let's GOOOOOO!!!"?
or is it that you disagree with the risk/reward assessments that have been made? perfectly understandable, but don't grandstand that no one is looking at the costs.
or are you not used to having your ideas challenged?It's like you're just discovering Hutch for the first time.
or are you THAT sensitive?
that is an excellent rebuttal to the points i made. i will have to reconsider my position based on the arguments you present.

-Drama Queen? I think it’s been a big deal. My father in law died. We couldn’t see him the last few months. Of course the nursing home wouldn’t let us see him and then we know what happened
Why couldn’t it last forever? If the virus is around forever and mutates who knows?
- the last lockdown or whatever you want to call it meant no school for my kids for part of a year and almost a full year. I don’t want to say too much more personal cause some seem to derive joy from using things against one but there were other impacts
"what? i have to take a BATH?!? how long to do i have to stay in the tub, FOREVER?!?!?!111"

- What is with the condescension man? Just make your points and spare me that
- I didn’t mean my kids specifically fool…I meant fully vaccinated people
- actually now we are at a point where we need to prioritize the interests of the vaccinated…if we can’t compel people to get vaccinated we can certainly move on

or is it that you disagree with the risk/reward assessments that have been made? perfectly understandable, but don't grandstand that no one is looking at the costs.
But Sweetcell sort of embodies the general mindset among liberals. Anyone that so much as lifts a peep against the prevailing orthodoxy on how society handles covid is mocked.

both DC9 and Union stage this week are now requiring proof of vax for entry
DC9 also listed the booster: After February 1st, we are requiring all patrons to show proof that they are at least 2 weeks past receiving a second vaccine dose—ie: 2 shots of Moderna/Pfizer or the Johnson&Johnson shot + booster
well I guess only if you got the J&J

This is news to me about DC requiring proof of vaccination for restaurants and other indoor gatherings effective January 15and this makes sense why they changed the policy

I don’t think that’s a coincidenceGo get it. Your name is “Chaz Jombi,” you’re homeless, have never gotten vaccinated, have no id or insurance and just wandered into this CVS today. You’ll have a fourth shot in five minutes.

will go see a neurologist Jan 6at the capitol?
My posts may be more nonesense than usual from now onNot possible.
Well on Xmas day I started to feel numb on right side and couldn’t form words so checked in to hospital
We all thought stroke
I spent two days at hospital being tested
MRI showed no sign of stroke
Blood found in brain… unclear why? I bumped my head accidentally? The boognish scraped the mucus off my brain?
Am on anti seizure meds
I feel fine now but a bit shaken …will go see a neurologist Jan 6 and also have another cat scan
The end

Jimmy Fallon tested positive over the holidays (vaxxed and boosted), had mild symptoms.add James Corden to the list
Seth Meyers (vaxxed and boosted) tested positive today, cancels his show for the rest of the week.
Welp, it finally got me. Thankfully vaxxed and boosted so it hasn’t been too bad, just been drinking lots of water and popping Tylenol.
Has anyone said there is anything wrong with that?
Absolutely, but we've been down this road before. MoCo Libs still wear masks outdoors.

I read the linked article, and when I read "in a bar," I assumed they meant indoors. But maybe not, I don't know, I wasn't there.
The positive coronavirus test comes shortly after the congresswoman was seen without a mask in a Miami bar, according to video that circulated on social media.

Yeah... I considered grabbing some, but I'm also at the point where I'm done testing unless I'm falling over ill. We tested multiple times over the past month (even with potential) symptoms and everything has been negative.

What are the expiration dates on those rapid tests? I mean, in general. I have no need for them now, but may when we travel abroad in July.

You would assume they have a long shelf life, however, based on all of the other stupid things going on... maybe they expire in a week.
Also, if you're going abroad, you'll probably need more than a rapid test from a store, so I'd suggest saving your $$$.

Both PCR tests and rapid antigen tests are accepted.

Thanks to you both for the advice. We're actually booked to fly to Germany, with plans to stay in Germany, Austria, and Italy travelling by car. When I booked everything I had a testing plan based on what it was at that time. Now it seems like things have gotten stricter and trickier. As well as the odds of actually testing positive going way up. But of course like you said, a million things could change. I'm tempted to just cancel it all (all refundable at this point) and book something else sticking with just North America.
At this point, I'm more afraid of the potential rules and regulations than I am of COVID itself.

I'd cancel if I were you... cancelled a trip out of the country this week and will probably be cancelling another a month from now. The hurdles are just too much to deal with/risk.

If I had to decide today, I would probably cancel. But the tickets are award miles and can be redeposited any any time up to 30 days before. And the airbnb's and car rentals are all fully refundable until sometime in June. So no real reason not to wait a while. At least until the time when i feel I need to pull the trigger on booking an alternative domestic vacation.

Honestly, I feel like 90% better on day 3. Not sure if I just got a mild case or (more likely) the vaccines and booster work as intended but it was nowhere as bad as a standard flu, for me a non-smoker in my 30s. Had I not had two positive tests from different brands, I kinda would've thought it was a false positive.Also tested positive for COVID this weekend. Fairly mild symptoms so far.

So my friend (former college roommate, lives in NYC) mentioned in a hi how are you doing type of email that he had recently had COVID. His wife had also mentioned it publically on FB (that she had it.)All in the execution. "Dude, that sucks! Any idea how you got it?" is probably fine. Asking pointed questions about their mask wearing, distancing in groups, or grilling them on their holiday itinerary is likely going to get taken another way.
Is it rude for me to ask how he thinks he might have gotten it in a return email? Does it depend on the level of friendship?

I would say if he emails you on the basis of, "hi, how are you" it would be perfectly acceptable to ask how he contracted covid. Weird question. And does it really matter how he contracted it? Maybe he doesn't know?

I would be asking more in a making conversation way, rather than actually caring where they got it from. They're a 50something married couple with no kids who probably take more risks than we do (e.g. riding the subway, going to the gym, indoor dining, more live entertainment than us), though I dont' judge them for it...we all have our levels of how we behave.
And if I talked about hanging with some friends in NYC the past year, yes, they were among the friends.

More people have died from covid under Biden than Trump. About 450,000 vs 430,000.
Abysmal failure. There is no getting around it.

"The Green Pass / vaccine passport concept is no longer relevant in the Omicron era and should be phased out (he expects it to be in short order in Israel)"
i dunno, if i was a business i would be nervous about opening my doors to the unvaxxed... what if i'm a club owner and someone sues me because they got covid at one of my shows? i wouldn't want that person to be unvaxxed, given the increased likelihood of negative outcomes.
i'm also generally in favor of making like difficult for the unvaxxed. you can take up space in concerts and restaurants, or you can take up space in our hospitals - not both.
No it’s not ridiculous. And Biden had the vaccines.
It’s not about fault although one could debate that..
The buck stops with the president
It doesn’t matter if he is a democrat or Republican
The fact remains more people died - according to the official count- under President Biden than Trump.
I think the point is with Omicron, being vaccinated no longer effectively prevents you from getting it. So now what's the point of a vaccine passport?
The majority of the people testing positive, in the hospital or dead are Republicans taking Trumps advice. The majority of vaxxed and boosted are Democrats. Explain to me how thats Biden's fault.
Trump himself is vaxxed and boosted. He's not telling anyone they shouldn't get vaccinated.
In fact, he sounds very pro-vaccine.

i'd say that biden has tremendous influence over trump's acolytes: whatever biden says, trumpers will instinctively do the opposite. hence the current low vax rates among them, they're "sticking it to joe".
since biden has just about maxed out the number of vaccinations he can get on the left, he should switch tact and start denigrating vaccines, telling everyone that they shouldn't get them, that's they're a waste... that might drive the trumptards to the get the shot.

Which brings me to my next point: I don’t think people are taking covid seriously anymore… and a feeling that everyone is going to get it- multiple times probably- and it’s not that bad so why worryI mean, I am kind of here. We are past the point where "eliminating" COVID is a possibility; this is endemic. (And that's sad.) You can clearly see the CDC start to telegraph that post-omicron, they're going to remove suggestions that children wear masks or that asymptomatic people test, as they do this with no other respiratory infection. If you're vaxxed and boosted, this is the flu at this point.

I'm going to continue to get boosters and mask where asked and I think its good this has normalized people staying home when sick and mask wearing in general, but this is with us forever and young, otherwise healthy on-time with their vax people have little to fear of it. How seriously am I supposed to take it for the remaining 50 years of my life?
We are past the point where "eliminating" COVIDdid anyone think that we were going to do that? I don't know, first I've ever heard anyone mention it
I am not really passing judgment but I have kids and I don’t feel comfortable not taking precautions and giving my family the covid and spreading it so Friday and Saturday after work (Aziz) I didn’t go to the bar after the showsI agree on the wave. I stopped masking in summer when the case counts crashed and started back up as omicron and delta picked up. I'll continue to wear masks when cases are high -- because I just don't want to get it again despite it being mild -- but when they go low, I doubt I'll wear masks except where asked.
When the wave comes down I will
I understand why people might not make the same choice

I am not really passing judgment but I have kids and I don’t feel comfortable not taking precautions and giving my family the covid and spreading it so Friday and Saturday after work (Aziz) I didn’t go to the bar after the shows
When the wave comes down I will
I understand why people might not make the same choice
Are your kids not vaxxed?
Maryland reported 2,690 confirmed cases today, about a fifth of the numbers a few weeks ago.
The study suggests a second booster may not yet be necessary.Most luxurious things aren't "necessary".

80% of all Swedes over the age of 50 have now received three vaccine doses.
We have an obesity crisis in the US…. I would guess our poor health in general-more than vaccination rates- accounts for the disparity in deaths… we are fat and most people are on a bunch of crazy pills…

Today out in Hagerstown, more and more truckers with The People's Convoy have complained about becoming sick with a bad cough. One streamer, “OTR Survival,” ended up going to an urgent care, and described the illness as getting “hit by a bus.”

Why it matters: The transportation mask mandate was extended last month, but is currently set to expire on April 18.

Nancy Pelosi (very risky), Susan Collins and Warnok have all tested positive for COVID-19.

The US seems to be on it's own on this one.
They are also continuing to require testing to be able to return the the US.
Whereas otther Western countries have ended these two policiies.
Seems like someone in the Biden agency might be getting some $$ from the testing companies and mask makers for extending these two.

I mean first of all what “Biden agency”!?!
But more importantly why throw around accusations without a lick of evidence
I think the "mandatory testing for vaxxed and boosted US residents to return" thing is wildly capricious. I'm kind of with Space on this -- its time for these policy's to wind down.

I feel I got it pretty badly.
And when the vaccines were first announced and for many months figures were cited left and right about 90% plus efficacy in preventing getting covid period.
Nobody said get the vaccine and you are still guaranteed to get covid.
In my family all of us were fully vaccinated and boosted and still got it.
Get off your soapbox dude.
The most likely reality is that covid is just weakening over time and people getting it in 2023 aren’t getting it as badly as they would if they got it in 2019.Isn't what's most likely is "both"?
died with covid is more accurate

At least 1.2 million Americans found Covid affected them more negatively than the colds they’d had before. So much so they died. Including my kids grandpa.
But am glad for your family’s good fortune. That’s what’s important. You.
So your position is that airlines, hospitals, music venues, etc should not have forced employees to get vaccinated? You believe that’s fucked up.
Space, give it a rest. You are making an ass of yourself.
Just the way you frame that “make decisions regarding their health” shows how deluded you are….it’s really batshit MAGA … I mean it’s about public health.. that’s the point
Interest level in discussing this with a troll or complete imbecile: zero

Boy do I feel stupid for every arguing in favor of that. I guess in retrospect it was better to be safe than sorry.
My point was that it's pretty fucked up for an employer to force employees to make specific choices regarding their health, at the risk of losing one's job.
Do you disagree with that?

Its also really funny for folks to be in a tizzy about Space voicing concerns about employer-mandated health decision despite him GETTING VACCINATED AND SAYING HE WOULD'VE OF HIS OWN ACCORD, and not, I don't know, the systematic throwing-of-people-to-the-wolves that our entire political system engaged in. If I had to guess, that might have caused a lot more death and misery than whether Space got vaccinated or not WHICH HE DID.I, for one, enjoy throwing people to the wolves.
It's like being mad that someone uses plastic bags at the grocery store

When I was a kid, I remember trusting my pediatrician when he told me that I was required to be vaccinated against certain things to go back to school, and those were rules far above his or my head. And papers were necessary and needed to be given to the school nurse in order to be given the OK. The same applies when you're an adult. Responsibility doesn't change when you have to consider the wellbeing of others in your species. The difference now vs. being a kid is that if you don't like it, you can quit and get a new job. Probably in a state where life expectancies are starting to crater, lowering the overall life expectancy of the country. But hell, it's America. You can do whatever you want.

Would you be ok with an employer requiring any employee who engages in anal sex to be on PREP before engaging in anal sex, at the risk of losing their job? After all, it is the responsible thing to do.

I'm not arguing that the vax has hurt me. I chose to get it, so I accepted any risk. I'm arguing that employers shouldn't have the power to force employees to make that choice.They want to be able to say "All our staff is vaccinated" and like greenwashing, companies were trying to fall in line for their PR campaign
Who was my employer protecting by requiring it's employees to be vaccinated? We haven't been in the office since March 2020.
And now there is no longer a requirement.

So if your employer forced you to have a drug test, would you react the same way?
what if they said they were going to do a background check?
These would be WAY bigger privacy concerns for me vs getting a jab
you don't HAVE TO work for that employer (who works with the Gov't...so you are already a part of the machine man)
well this is where we differ a lot

I don't have a problem with a drug test or background test to get a job. I don't have a problem with a vaccine requirement to get a job. I have a problem with making up a rule that you have to be vaccinated to keep your job.
