The fact is that between the 4 vaccine candidates, nearly 200k ppl have been vaccinated for several months and holding out a new months after the vaccine is available isn't going to prove to be a stroke of genius rather than prolonging the enviable. Q3 is when the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is suppose to come to market which doesn't need to be stored at ridiculously cold temperatures like the two that are ready now. It may be the nail in the coffin as it may even be a Walgreens and CVS. The director of the Oxford Vaccine was asked about herd immunity and his response was here immunity will be achieved, not through infection but through vaccination. My genuine hope is that when the vaccine gets approved big names receive it in film. I would LOVE to see Biden and Trump both getting the vaccine. I think it would put a lot of doubt to rest. I’ll take the J&J vaccine if required. I’m not interested in the mRNA vaccines. I am a bit nervous to take it though. I stopped taking the flu shot after an allergic reaction two years ago. I was experiencing phlegm, coughing, and throat swelling within a few hours of the shot. I had to take Benadryl to calm it down. I had a reaction many years ago too, so I normally didn’t take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have egg or any other food allergies allergies. I do have environmental allergies. You are right though, it is egg based and I don’t give it to my kids who have egg allergies although they say it is safe if you have egg allergies. Even my allergist said he’d be cautious with the toddlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a small plexiglass door that is open on the top and bottom. Regardless of that, he’s still supposed to be masked up per our state regulations. Plus he was having a very friends conversation with that guy standing there, who was also maskless and standing in the way of people trying to get on the bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what his deal was. Yeah, fuck that guy. I still think the driver’s aerosolized breath is kept away from others by the door. We have the same doors here and they’re not new. Although it wouldn’t hurt him to lead by example and I wish more people in the public eye would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 3,918 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not sure if this will make the news overseas so I thought I would share here. My state of Victoria has now gone 28 days without community mystery cases, which was our epidemiologists classification for "elimination" of the virus in the community. It was looking very scary for a bit there but we did a hard lockdown for almost three months and have now "eliminated" the virus (I'm sure some cases will pop up here and there). I think this proves that lockdowns and masks work if you implement them before things get out of control and hopefully if this happens again, other countries will look to countries like Australia, NZ, Taiwan etc. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/victoria-eliminates-coronavirus-after-28-days-without-a-new-case-20201127-p56iev.html#comments 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People from China, Vietnam, Germany, etc. where they have a better handle on the virus are less likely to come into contact with the virus a second time. And the range of when people caught it is all over the place. Most of these didn't begin in March.

I'm saying whoever published that was false, not you for the record. Edited November 27, 2020 by Doctornick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bogomil | 810 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Very thankful to live in Atlantic Canada. Although community spread has popped up a few times in the last month we've locally stomped it out twice by testing, tracing, and following health directives without too many restrictions. A different beast compared to a major metropolitan area though, especially ones that fell behind initially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst pan epidemic that we have anything resembling good records on was the 1918 epidemic - while the U.S. had an apparent death rate of 2.6%* (.63%* of the total US population at the time) of those infected the world figures were even more bleak - somewhere between 5 to 10%* of those infected (probably a third* of the world's population at the time). That flu also had harsh long lasting side effects on survivors - particularly younger (even in utero) victims. Also since the disease tended to target otherwise young and healthy segments of the population its effects on society were more magnified than the numbers would otherwise suggest. *The numbers have to be taken with a small grain of salt - but they are far more accurate than say those for the Bubonic Plague - even though those periodic occurrences were far more devastating both in percentage of deaths and effect on society (some historians credit that disease with the demise of the feudal system - so I guess every cloud has a silver lining) than anything in modern times.

If you're in a position where you're allowed to get it this early, I'm surprised your co-workers aren't being compelled to get it on threat of firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
