The new fuck around and find out rep seems very apt for this post.

I don't know what this one means, I'm assuming it's an inside joke I missed out on.  Is it angry?  Happy?  Does it show up positive or negative?

Or does the name say it all, and you don't know until you fuck around and find out?

    Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

Just put this song on repeat and it will cheer you up in no time.

 

I'm still traveling for both--and being as careful as we reasonably can be--but obviously not feeling great about it.

134,000 new cases today in the US. 3rd day in a row we have broken the previous days record

 

Texas is the first state to cross over 1 million cases

 

Deaths also up day over day for the last 4 days

So, it looks like transmission rates may have been lower during the warmer months.

March, when the first outbreak started is cooler in most (probably all) of those countries than late September and October when this second outbreak got going. This has more to do with reopening policies. 

Edited by UT_OB1

October and November and March average about 10 degrees celcius for central europe. Late October and early November have people heading indoors to stay warm while in late March and early April, people start going outside more with the start of spring.

I hope it isn’t a lockdown and curfews.

If people can get their shit together, it won't have to be.  Austin - many of us are doing a really good job of distancing, masks, etc.  When I go jogging along the trail near our house, people are still actively veering around each other when possible, etc.  Yeah, plenty of people are still fucking around and taking their chances, and it sucks, but plenty of us are taking it seriously.

El Paso?  They are in shutdown mode, their hospitals are full, and they are having to airlift their non-covid patients to other cities.

Lots of masks that ain’t gonna do shit.  

Correct. There's still transmission when there is close contact even with 100% mask use unless everyone is in full PPE. Take the mask off to drink or wear it like a chin diaper while in a crowd and you've increased the risk exponentially. Anyway, it's really disingenuous to take a handpicked picture of a small section of a crowd and claim everyone is masking up.  Just like Halloween and Labor Day, the celebrations in the street are going to spread Covid. All it takes is one person from the crowd to catch it then seed it back into their house or workplace. I see it every GD day.  I don't give a crap who just won the presidency. It does not in anyway justify irresponsible large group gatherings especially when we have managed to catch just about the whole country back on Covid fire.

Yeah, I see that too and I see plenty of joggers wearing masks. I don't get the mask wearing joggers, but if that's what they want to do who am I to judge. Personally, I'm not very worried about catching COVID from a jogger. I mean it is possible, but not very likely. It would take some serious cosmic karma for me to catch it from a jogger and not from treating patients.

Pfizer just called ballgame.

Hope so. But still gonna be a looong time after the vaccine gets released imo. If over 50% of america doesnt get the flu vaccine every year, I seriously doubt theyll go for the covid vaccine

 

Id hope by early to mid 2022 one wouldnt have to wear masks into businesses. I also hope a lot more americans have contracted covid than we know

That's not 2 weeks, man. I was promised 2 weeks.

It has to be a given that more people have gotten it than we know. I don’t really think that is debatable. I don’t think there is a way to find out how many though.

If the evidence is suggesting that antibodies go away in 60 days, then it really doesn’t matter how many have gotten it. 
 

but I think that also means that the vaccine would need to be administered to a high % of the global population at the same time to eradicate the disease, doesn’t it?  Unless the vaccine-triggered antibodies are more robust.

And doesn't this vaccine have to be administered in two doses?  Because plenty of people will fuck up and skip the second.

And aggy has a $265 million contract to manufacture the vaccine here in Texas - are we going to trust them with a brand new vaccine?

We need this before next summer.

recent evidence says 6 months or more apparently.

I know Pfizer is drawing my blood at 6 mo post vaccination

So how will this vaccine be distributed and administered? If it needs to be kept at -90 degrees F and almost no hospital, lab, or pharmacy is capable of doing so it seems like a problem.
