Remember those gay ass videos from Italy being like "Two weeks ago, I didn't believe I would be living this way, you MUST listen to your overlords so you're not like us"

Then a few weeks later they were rioting in the streets while their businesses failed?


I don't give one tiny **** what anyone has to say that never missed a paycheck during Covid, didn't have to lay people off to save their business, or hasn't actually had the disease. Two of them suck, one them was nothing, and no, I don't give a **** about your 90 year old grandma, and neither did she, about Covid that is, she got to die alone while her peers failed to thrive from loneliness because ******* who worship mainstream media as their lord and savior were afraid for their own lives and let millions suffer in their stead.


In before I know a guy that knows a guy that does triathlons that got real sick and thought he was gonna die of Curvird

COVID is over for the youths. Greenville Ave is hopping with St Patty's revelers. And I got my first dose today!

Leave the political BS aside. This was a really hard time for a lot of people and we appear to be getting through it. Good vibes only.

the_batman26: I guess yall need this, its something to take pride in. At least the Feds trusted us with the Space Center; and I seem to recall the Feds not having the best time in Dallas.

So not trying to derail good vibes, but news outlets all over are reporting issues in Europe again. Most of Italy will lock down again, for example.... vaccine rollout or not.

I see all the positive days of people getting vaccinated here, but any news on % of population in Europe that is vaccinated? It feels like they were one/two months ahead of us, so I feel like this is what we might see in May....

The EU as a whole is behind the US, not sure about individual countries. Agree on the 1-2 lag between them and us, so we have time to get a critical mass immunized.
Quinn

We have surpassed the EU in vaccination rate and we are only going to keep increasing the shots in arms per day over the next three months. As long as one of the new strands doesn't become resistant to the vaccines, we should be good.

Apart from UK, no other country in Europe appears to half our vaccine rate.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1194939/rate-covid-vaccination-by-county-worldwide/

As another poster mentioned, US is accelerating vaccine rate as well. Base shots + accelerating injection rate + people who have already had it leads me to believe this isn't a worry for the US. Plus Texas won't go back to a lockdown.

A French colleague of my wife at UTSW explained that people in France don't like vaccinations, for anything, and that there are large swaths of their society who will refuse to be inoculated.

Great responses.

To add to it... the AstroZeneca vaccine has been halted in several countries over the past 24 hours.

Everyone? Hardly. Would love everything to get back to normal, but that's not possible for a few more months until everyone has had the opportunity to get the vaccine. Then we can have that conversation - but that's more of an end of May timeframe. Until then, the prudent thing is to continue social distancing and masks.
Correcting for science.
Same. Also I realize it's anecdotal, but wife is a middle school nurse in a school of over 1000 kids in person since August. Thus far the only known in-school transmission has occurred among kids during lunch (unmasked in small groups) and from unmasked group parties outside of school. Very little to no spread amongst the students while masked in class. Wife also stayed masked and was in contact with multiple positive COVID students (she's been doing COVID tests in her nurse clinic since September) but never got it.

Or maybe this thing isn't quite as contagious or virulent as we've been led to believe.
We eradicated the flu by social distancing and mask and over 500,000 people have died related to Covid.


That is a nice thought, but the flu disappeared in places like Sweden and Brazil, too.

It is far more likely that it disappeared due to viral interference, not NPIs.

Very interesting. I wonder if this will make it to a more public realm for debate as a reduction cause vs masks?

LOL. I think we know the answer to that.
