In theory, we could knock this shit out in 2 weeks. Simple in theory, difficult in practice, but it isn't rocket science.

Keep everybody home for 2 weeks. That means everybody, across the country, and of course that's the hard part. But after 2 weeks, any incubating cases will be resolved or identified, and they can be isolated; everyone else goes back to their lives. It's equivalent to universal testing and quarantining; the spread would be halted in its tracks. If there was the political will to do it (pretty big if).

What am I missing?

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

That a full third of our country is regarded. 

90% is up near other vaccines that have eradicated viruses (Chicken Pox, Measles).  The pandemic will be over by Easter (2021).

Biden was there with him for eight years. You know he saw plenty of spicy mustard, and at any point could have offered his resignation, but didn't. That says a lot, imo. 

Does he carry hot sauce in his briefcase?

Great year to be in the refrigerated truck industry.

 

Too soon? It felt too soon.

Oh fuck- I was typing never too soon b/c I was just thinking about distribution.  Then it hit me.  Well done as an asshole move, well done.

Good read on the vax data...

https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/11/09/vaccine-efficacy-data

 

Earlier this morning, Pfizer and BioNTech announced the first controlled efficacy data for a coronavirus vaccine. And the news is good.

You may recall that these vaccine trials are set up to get to a defined number of coronavirus cases overall, at which time the various monitoring committees lock the door and unblind the data to have a look at how things are going. Pfizer’s original plan (as mentioned in that post) was the most aggressive of them all – they were planning to take their first look once they hit 32 cases. But one of the things we learned from this morning’s press release is that the company and the FDA changed that, dropping the 32-case read in favor of a 62-case read. By the time they finished those negotiations, though, the number of cases had reached 94, so we actually have a much more statistically robust look than we would have otherwise. And the split between placebo-group patients and vaccine-arm patients is consistent with greater than 90% efficacy. That number will come into better focus, but I hope that we can continue to take 90% as the lower bound.

The final analysis of the trial is set for a 164-case level, and that should be reached sooner than we might have thought. The higher number of cases in this current readout is surely because the coronavirus pandemic is itself at the “uncontrolled spread” stage in much of the Northern hemisphere. Remember the worries about whether companies would have to move their trials around to find places where the disease was still spreading? Seems like a long time ago, and as things have worked out you can (unfortunately) run your vaccine trial pretty much anywhere you like.

Lol. Political rallies/mass celebrations are so far down the fucking list when we are restricting people from funerals, family events, etc. 

Going to a funeral next weekend. Navy man. Full deal.  We’re attending as it will be outside, but the mass was indoors. No one restricting us, but us, in the state leading the nation in CV-19 infections. Perhaps there should be, don’t you think?

Masks and face shields for us. 

Can't give a ton of detail, but one of the very large hospital groups that has locations in Texas is asking leadership for their census (censuses? censii?) so that they can figure out their population for vaccine dispensation.

That was fast..

Gee, Ted, it's almost like Pfizer didn't want to impact a presidential election by letting a science-hating douchebag take all the credit for something he had absolutely nothing to do with.

One of my neighbors came back from their lease early because the closest town is a mini hot spot. I should show them the Cruz tweet; they were all in on the 'hoax' idea in the spring, but reversed course over the summer when Texas got hit and are now steamed about the lack of prep and concern. I'm trying to turn on the light (w/o any smugness period) because I want Cruz out when his term expires. It is the teeny toothpicks under the nails strategy.

Appears to be about 2k+ according to the charts in the tweet above.

 

Interesting to look at all of that side by side.

That's weird. I haven't heard that name in a while. I think he used to write about Buckeye football for The Ozone. Maybe Bucknuts? I can't be sure. It's hard to follow the evolution of all the different sites and writers covering tOSU sports. I can't say I ever really formed an opinion about his work either way. I didn't know he had gone full wackadoodle.

Pfizer has already developed their own shipping boxes for the vaccine that will keep it at the proper temp for 10 days.

Do we have a source on this?

And those dumb bastards will re-elect her easily.
