we got very lucky with the vaccine timing. nothing out of inslee re end of masks (thank god). I still see basically everybody masked in the grocery stores.

Everybody is ignoring the relaxed mask guidance already and our vaccine uptake is pretty good, so I'm hopeful people will just keep ignoring it and getting shots until community transmission is crushed

So from here on out I know that anyone I see in a mask is vaccinated and probably someone I can assume is safe to be around because they do not want to be anywhere near me.

Me to but my six months pregnant wife isn't allowed to work from home and she does court ordered social work so comes in regular contact with a shitload of people that are not vaccinated but will absolutely claim they are vaccinated for the purposes of not wearing a mask so that's cool.

In interviews with Reuters, more than a dozen influential infectious disease and vaccine development experts said there is growing evidence that a first round of global vaccinations may offer enduring protection against the coronavirus and its most worrisome variants discovered to date.

Some of these scientists expressed concern that public expectations around COVID-19 boosters are being set by pharmaceutical executives rather than health specialists, although many agreed that preparing for such a need as a precaution was prudent.

Pretty confident king county will have cases close to zeroed out throughout most of summer. No idea how fall goes. Vaccine uptake rates are good enough that it'll get crushed here. I doubt B.1.617.2 makes a significant enough difference, and even if it did it'd take most of summer to cook off if it was just introduced now.

Kids aren’t profitable. It’s more efficient to let them die and force everyone back to work.

No, I haven’t considered any implications beyond the end of the quarter why do you ask?

Financially we could make it work if she just quit but state insurance is better than the one my work offers so we're on her insurance and it'd be really risky to try and change that in the middle of a pregnancy, which is even more cool

even outdoors on playgrounds I’m still seeing 50-75% masked depending on the day.

honestly I’m just glad we haven’t gotten a stupid done with masks in June announcement like NY and CA. loving tucker Carlson and drat Atlantic articles about kids and masks are stressing my wife out. we only got harassed the one day about it then it seems like everything went back to normal. even saw a mom pull her kid from a playground yesterday for not wearing a mask.

The goal is not to eliminate masks or "act normal" or whatever, those are outcomes. The goal is to eliminate community spread of COVID. Once you reach the goal then you get to do stuff like get rid of masks and poo poo like that.

Trials are going now so probably a couple of months if trials go well. I guess another unique factor in <12 is if they will grant EUA or if they'll say COVID in kids doesn't matter. Dems love pharma dollars so I'm guessing EUA.

September is the expectation if all goes well with the trials, but I think that's just for 5-12 year olds and younger is a separate study. Might be wrong on that.
