Kayla 8 hr ago I can see that Emily put a lot of thought into this, and that's great. But for me as an vaccinated person with no kids, it's so simple that no calculator is needed. The risk to me is now essentially zero. Yeah yeah, but what about the risk to others? Well, unvaccinated kids are at an extremely small risk of serious illness or death. Unvaccinated adults either will be vaccinated within a month or two or they will choose never to be vaccinated, and their risk is their own choice. In other words—I'm back to restaurants, travel, the gym, socializing indoors and all those wonderful normal things! I don't plan to wear a mask again unless legally forced to.

i had a dream a few days ago that i went to get my first pfizer shot but at the vaccination site there was a sign that said i was getting the moderna one instead and that freaked me out in the dream even though i know both vaccines are fine

any real risk calculator would need to account for how socially promiscuous each person you're planning to meet with is, because an unvaccinated covid thread reader who's been sitting on their bean hoard for the last 12 months is still less of a risk than a vaccinated dude who's going to packed ballgames maskless

Thanks! Good to know they're legit.

I heard that the tribal health services were kicking rear end at deploying the vaccines and a lot of them were sticking whomever wants one at this point

Wife's office in Arkansas (hq is elsewhere) told them they should all expect to return to office b y September and all employee specific flexibility is done. They're allowed a transition period from June to September but no more wfh after that lmao. We're not moving but they literally had VP presentations extoling the great work everyone was doing wfh and how they wanted to be flexible yadda yadda so just following the same bullshit Amazon and google are doing now. Who picked September first and why? What is the point in forcing people who can work remotely back into the office when there is still risk for outbreaks and sickness? What do you do if you have kids who can't be vaccinated or are high risk?

The suits could change their mind when we start up with the corpse trailers again but maybe not.

I caught a bunch of heat from my sister and parents for not being able to find a shot, and I checked it one more time today just to say "see, there aren't any" and an appointment opened up tonight. Bitching about MMO drop rates makes it drop, can't wait for better cell reception from the 5g nanomachines.
