MadJackal posted:The majority of people who are vaccine hesitant think they have equal chances of dying from COVID as they do from J&J and think 95% effective protection means it’s pointless since “You can still get sick.” I mean, as all smart people know, 95% efficacy means that even if you're fully vaxxed, it's still like rolling a 20 sided die every time you go out. And that means that even once you're vaccinated, after 10 visits to the grocery store you have a 50% chance of catching the Covids. At 20 visits, that chance rises to 100%. So it's obvious that one out of 20 vaccinated people are going to still definitely catch Covid. And at 15% hospitalization and 4% CFR, that means that one out of every 133 vaccinated people will be hospitalized by Covid, and one out of every 500 vaccinated people will die of Covid! Sorry, that's just how numbers and probability work. Also, if you flip a coin twice, it will come up heads once and tails once. I mean, this is all just really simple math.

National Health England has just upgraded AZ to 85-90% effective against symptomatic disease after 2 doses, the real world weekly surveillance report puts it at 89% effective compared to unvaccinated people. The Pfizer real world suggests 90% effective compared to unvaccinated people after 2 doses. https://www.reuters.com/business/he...ive-2021-05-20/

Oh it did but it wasn’t AZ’s fault, it was people thinking they were scientists and only reading the bits of the study they understood. The press globally are responsible for a hell of a lot of excess deaths with people holding out after being offered AZ. Put simply AZ did all the trials right at the peak of the first wave, because that’s how time works, the Modena and Pfizer were done during dips. Therefore the AZ was always going to look worse than the others.

I've been fully vaccinated since the 4th and have yet to go maskless. it's weird how naked the thought of going out without one makes me feel. also there are still a lot of unvaxxed people and I want to keep up mask awareness because until a lot more people get their pokes its still a ways to go until corona is behind us

I found out my cat was in stage Almost Holy gently caress kidney disease when I brought them in for a broken tooth to the local animal hospital back in february, standing outside in -15 temps because no people were allowed inside, which seems like it was the better situation. She was perking up a bit at 10 last night. No contact since then. They're thinking it might be lepto or lyme disease since it's so sudden. I hope your kitty was okay. gohuskies posted:Most of the doomposters in this thread believe this as well. I am 100% sure I'm considered a "doomposter" so: as community transmission falls, the more okay I am with people doing stuff. I have a Walt Disney World trip planned in late September (if cases don't go nuts/vaccines are hosed). I spent all loving day yesterday in an emergency vet among a bunch of unmasked people. It sucked because it was in South Carolina and statistically there's no way all those people were vaccinated. But I also have a hell cough from being in a mask for hours and hours. I have respiratory issues and even I went out to my van a couple of times for a mask break. Cases climbed a little bit yesterday but not really significantly. I don't like testing sites shutting down when we still have 30k cases in a single day and I really dislike that "low viral load" vaccinated people who do get sick aren't being tracked because that's important to me. We (hopefully) are in late-stage pandemic stuff, but we shouldn't be rolling back testing or tracking this early.

This. Same day and everything, I think. There's still way too much community transmission and some vaccinated people do get sick. I don't want to be one of the rare cases, especially with my 13 year old dane stumping around and now the 11 year old retired herd dog getting so sick. I need to be here for the farm. I need to be here to do funerals. My health is garbage and my doctor has basically treated covid like a death certificate for me if I get it. I'm still heeding those cautions regardless of what the CDC says until poo poo is better.

This might come across as doomposting, but it's a serious question. With much of the US going maskless, and variants mutating in parts of the world that lessen the efficacy of vaxxes, aren't we moving into a new normal where covid is just accepted a part of everyday life, and the vaccines (which will most likely require boosters every 6-12 months) basically lower the chances of having severe symptoms/dying, keeping the hospitals from being overwhelmed? I know there's a lot of other factors involved, but if the hospitals aren't being overwhelmed, why would anyone in Gov't/general pop care about it as long as the economy has number go up, and they could still enjoy the amazing appetizers at Applebees? There will be a pocket of people like me that continue to wear masks, and take things way more seriously, but generally once people get back to "normal", why would they give that up if the threat is low that they will have severe symptoms/die from it? My hope is that the group that continues to mask/not go out everyday/night is large enough that it still impacts the economy, but I'm worried it will get smaller as things progress. Please poke holes in my assumptions, as I don't want them to happen, as they are making my already fragile mental state worse.

Kragger99 posted:This might come across as doomposting, but it's a serious question. Sort of yes, sort of no. People are already moving back towards 2019 normal at an incredibly rapid rate. In the next month or two, it'll be like covid doesn't exist for the majority. And that's regardless what the numbers do. We aren't going to go back because people feel entitled to their Applebees appetizers and they already did everything they were advised to do. Society is largely throwing in the towel on trying to stop this poo poo and are just shrugging because "well if it won't go away when I'm tired of it, whatever, we'll just deal with it". It remains to be seen what happens with cases and vaccines and everything else. We are entirely in uncharted territory because this is a new disease, still, and we're still learning a lot about it; especially as variants pop up. The thing is, we're gonna have to learn to deal with the maskless and the people who are "tired". Quarantine fatigue is certainly a real thing and the vast majority of the public no longer care. So those of us who do are just going to have to keep doing what we were doing this whole time. And that's okay. Essentially: you might see a lot of people doing things that you wouldn't personally, and the best thing to do is try to avoid them. It might spike cases. It might not. It's okay to be nervous about the unknown, but we have decent data and models that suggest you can have your appetizer, too. Eventually. You're gonna be okay. We all are. Just continue to be careful and sparse while we see how this thing plays out

Experts have been warning for a while now that herd immunity isn't attainable in the US and even Dr Fauci has moved away from using that term https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/03/health/covid-herd-immunity-vaccine.html Yearly booster shots are also pretty much inevitable now https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/19/fauci-us-americans-covid-vaccine-boosters Also most of the rest of the globe is WAY behind on vaccination rollouts so there's going to be continuous outbreaks occurring all over the world and the US just doesn't have the political will to close borders or run effective quarantines so there's always going to be a steady amount of infected people entering the country for the foreseeable future. Get vaxxed as soon as you can, make sure your family gets vaxxed as soon as they can, then figure out where your comfort level lies in terms of interacting with people outside your home. Of course if you work in a service industry that's pretty much out of your hands anyway

I honestly think it's a good idea for it to be more widespread long-term in hospitals regardless of covid. Colds and flus kill sensitive patients and it seems like it'd be a great way to prevent that spread, too.
