Lolie posted:Australia is making the vaccine available to everyone here, including those whose status isn't currently legal. That said, we have many residents still stranded oversees who have no idea when they'll be able to return, so obtaining permission to enter the country is a problem (unless you're Matt Damon and fly in by private jet). Wait can foreigners enter Australia if they get there privately?

Sports teams/players and support staff etc can come in too. I'm sure the mega rich can buy their way in as well. Everybody has to quarantine though, no exceptions on that. I'm not sure just hiring a private jet will get you an entry visa though, you still need a valid reason to be allowed in.

Having bought a 5900x in January before I qualified for the vaccine, this is exactly how it felt to get an appointment - except I also needed to score another four for less online family members who honestly needed the vaccine more than I did.

I'm very curious as to how Australia and New Zealand keep seeing COVID leak into the community out of mandatory hotel quarantine, whereas Taiwan doesn't seem to have similar reoccuring problems even though, IIRC, they just let returnees quarantine at home - they monitor their movements by mobile phone data, but that obviously doesn't prevent people from having visitors.

I don't remember though. I'd assume this is just common sense. Maybe I'm wrong though. We'll see in a few months where breathing heavily and sweating in a small area is, in fact, not a vector for transmission.

It was going to be fine, you see, because she knows them, and that keeps the virus away. Gorgeous, but in the end just another dumb narcissist in the Cult of the Self who works for What I Want Inc. Anyway, after I left she was able to "start living again" which included going to the gym. She hadn't been doing this because of my "paranoia." She got COVID a month ago and it's looking like she has long-term heart and lung damage as a result. fake edit during the post: I just saw that yesterday right after work ended my district sent out an email with the following "survey" that consists of one question: "Would you take the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine if it was offered?" I did some quick Googling and this one looks like it's less efficacious but MUCH better than nothing, and since I am currently spending 5 days a week in a 30'x26' room with 30 kids at a time should I say yes?

I don't remember though. Apparently the gym industry was pushing a study a while back claiming gyms were safe. As the article says though it was BS. Of course breathing heavily and shouting in a tiny poorly ventilated area is going to spread covid. Some gym owners need to be up against the wall with the talking heads, politicians, and restaurant owners who have been trying to downplay the pandemic and led to the deaths of more than half a million people in the US.

I don't remember though. While I don't doubt there's a lot of....uh, selective choosing of data points from gym owners, I can see gyms not being as bad as you'd immediately expect. Yeah, people are breathing heavy and touching things while sweaty, but on the flip side you generally don't stand close to anyone anyway because getting smacked in the face with a big rear end weight is generally best avoided, touching things isn't really a massive transmission vector like it is for influenza, and most gyms have some pretty intense ventilation systems in place to prevent all sorts of other bugs doing the rounds already in place. Also, people who go to the gym are less likely to be obese, so less likely to suffer symptoms, so less likely to go and get a positive test, so therefore gyms are less likely to show up test and trace data. I suspect that's also a big part of it.

The vaccine rollout in my state is a society-wide Prisoner's Dilemma, except with 100% certainty that the other prisoner is gonna betray you. I love seeing 30 year olds successfully navigate the system and get their vaccines. It's a tragic system that is leaving the elderly behind, but it's the system my leaders chose.

The worst part about seeing similar narcissist entitlement from under 50 friend-of-friends in the Virgin Islands not just posting photos but also politicizing it with "everything is a risk, this country just isn't the same anymore" is the feelings it brings up in me. This is an anti-vaxxer family that didn't wear masks at the outdoor graduation party we had last summer and went to Arizona for Thanksgiving. The lovely feelings I have? Hoping that someone in their family gets it.

Wait, what is the system that allows me to get a vaccine before it goes to waste? I contacted a local distribution site about it and they said they didn’t even have vaccines for another week. What notifications should I sign up for? I’m in the US and the thought of the vaccines going to waste is unpleasant.

While I'm prepared and completely fine to not receive it until summer, I live less than 5 minutes away from the local pharmacy, have a flexible work schedule, and my wife is currently out of work. If there was a way to get on a list, I'd even put up with a month of "Come down now!!" ... "Oh sorry now we're out" just to not waste the stuff.

The worst thing about these cases is that while it might give you a microsecond of schadenfreude, there’s no winners. She might change her mind or not about Covid, but so what, it doesn’t matter anymore, damage done. How many people did she infect, indirectly killed, and even if she “repents” and goes all Norton Antivirus now, there’s nothing to be done about the long term damage. But who has given a gently caress about the idiots who died saying it was a hoax, just a flu, it would be gone by summer, etc etc? They died and their own families continue “living their best life”. I thank those who still take precautions not to infect anyone. They’re the reason society continues, not the idiots pretending this doesn’t exist. In a way I suppose you won a little, by realizing you were dating an idiot who would prefer you dead instead of making some sacrifices. Good to know, before you get old.
