I am not one to defend the current president, he is technically correct. Covid will go away after the election.
It may take a nuclear war, giant meteor or even the transition of the sun into a red giant. But covid will go away after the election.

Anything will go away on a long enough time horizon, except for the cult of Trump, perhaps. Actual cockroaches instead of the figurative ones like Hawley and Cruz, hoisting MAGA signs as the ashes fall about them...
Looks like I’ll be able to get my parents vaccinated very soon as N.C. has stepped up the time line for people over 75.

.....and be charged for the doses
Colorado accelerated the timeline for folks over 70, so I think my dad will be coming home to get vaccinated. He's currently wintering in AZ, but has a permanent address here. One of my primary ski partners just turned 70 a month or two ago, and is pretty stoked to get vaccinated. His wife works in healthcare, so she's already had her first shot. With the two of them both getting vaccinated, and my financée, they might be the first people we can actual have a "normal" beer with.
First shot only gives them 50% protection. Should probably still be careful around them old folks.
I saw a correction to these data, or rather data from later periods. The 50.8% or whatever it was was from day 1 through day 14 after shot 1. 90% in limited data set from day 14 onwards, then the headline 95% for Pfizer after shot 2 + interval.

Why Did This Swanky High-Rise in Houston Get Vaccines Ahead of Most People?
As essential workers and senior citizens nationwide struggle to get COVID vaccines, the luxurious Montebello apartment building seems to have figured it out.

40% of LA's Front-Line Workers Declined COVID Vaccine

So 2nd shot is only 5% more effective and we are reserving 2nd doses instead of getting as many people as possible their 1st shot?
If so, that is fucking peak stupidity.

Coughing, sneezing, vomiting: Visibly ill people aren’t being kept off planes
U.S. airlines boast layers of protocols intended to protect passengers from the virus, but there are deficiencies in the systems that are meant to prevent people from bringing the coronavirus aboard.

It was bound to happen. Just got a contact tracing call. Wednesday transport has tested positive for covid. Luckily the contact was less than ten minutes I was masked and gloved and they were masked. Followed proper decon with 10% bleach post transport. I have had the first covid vaccination over ten days ago and I have no symptoms and a temp of 97.5. Going in for a swab test anyways
Newsweek, has been known to be a little tabloidy in the past. Smells a bit sensationalist to me.40% of LA's Front-Line Workers Declined COVID Vaccine
Up to 40 percent of L.A. County front-line workers who were given priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine have declined to take it.
Headline: 40%
First paragraph: Upto 40%
Next paragraph: Between 20-40%
Best of luck.
IIRCC the scientists who developed the MRNA vaccines are not yet certain if the vaccine reduces transmission or the development of symptoms. So in theory it might be possible for a vaccinated person to still become a carrier and thus continue to spread.
Dude that doesn't work! You can't actually bring it into the body, he had no idea what he was talking about!
Many front-line workers refuse Covid vaccines as distribution rollout struggles

i think mine was la times....do not know if it was recycled from newsweek....
Not quite. The data we have on persistence of antibodies, T cell response are from the two shot regimen.
We do not have data on how a one shot regimen works beyond 21/28 days from shot one, just the snapshot from 14 days to then.

Wishful thinking sounds wishful. Given the current state of ad hoc distribution I would think sometime in Autumn is more likely.

And judging from other vaccines the long-term protection might not be there with just one shot. Would be cool to see how long the immunity lasts with only one shot. But I guess we will get that data as some folks might not go all @Eric str6 to get a second shot or even forget about it.
Pandemic shaming can backfire—here’s a better way
Opinion: If we can’t expect people to avoid risk, we should embrace harm reduction.

Where we live, Addison County, just transitioned from yellow to orange, 14 cases/100,000.
Is that new cases?
oh FFS, got a call from a former co-worker / crazy artist friend of my wife last night.
Her hubby (a lawyer winding down his career, eyeing retirement) was in hospital for 7 days, improving and scheduled to be released in a few days but had a Covid-related stroke and died this week...
My first friend to succumb to Covid, and his wife is a hot mess (understandably) with suicidal ideation and a barn full of horses and other critters depending on her...
Fuck Covid-19 and all the mouth-breathing bastards who are in denial about the severity of this pandemic.

Sorry to hear, MR.

My parents were conservative this year for NYE- they went to a party with only a few couples! A week after visiting my brother in another state! They had a covid scare a few weeks ago. What the ever loving fuck is wrong with them.
