It's funny, the one place I go that still requires masks and yet I would feel the most comfortable going maskless is my workplace. Everywhere else feels uncomfortable and like I'm exposed if I think about going in maskless. There's at least one wackadoodle in the department leaving Dr. mercola printouts on the break room table, but I helped a lot of people in my department bad with computers book and find doses. If I had to guess, probably 90% of my department has been fully vaccinated. We work with vulnerable populations (sector of government, not healthcare) so it makes sense that most of us are aware our clients are less likely to be vaccinated and more at risk if they were to contract covid. The other departments, gently caress them, I don't trust them.

learnincurve posted:U.K. is beginning to see a rise in deaths and hospitalisations amongst the unvaccinated elderly due to the Indian variant. Only 2% of hospitalisations are fully vaccinated. The latest info from public health England says that astrazenica is around 60% effective against the Indian variant after two shots and around 33% effective after the first. The latest data also shows its much more transmissible than the Kent variant. A lot of the UK population still aren't fully vaccinated. If the Indian variant starts spreading like wildfire, that's still a large amount of people not fully protected and could still result in another big wave. Given that, don't you think it's wise to hold for a few weeks for a bit more data before declaring mission accomplished, pandemic over?

learnincurve posted:U.K. is beginning to see a rise in deaths and hospitalisations amongst the unvaccinated elderly due to the Indian variant. Only 2% of hospitalisations are fully vaccinated. Only 34% are fully vaccinated at the moment, so that is cause of concern. Elderly also seem to be the minority of hospitalisations based on the success of the vaccines, more under 65s hospitalised than over 65s https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1397995456102342659/photo/1 So, I think it's not fair to blame this on just stubborn unvaccinated old people. We haven't given out enough double doses (compared to Israels circa 55% target) and the new variant is raising the stakes of where we need to be to starve off a third wave.

Something the Feds could have addressed to actually increase vaccination numbers instead of just doing some weird dramatic mid-week exploding of mask regulations: mandate PTO for post-vaccination side-effects.

I'm not sure, but this sounds like something that would have to go through Congress. Then the senate and yeah Republicans aren't going to allow anything even slightly good for workers even if it is for the greater good of the country.

Fallom posted:That threat wasn’t real to people Mask wearing was also treated like a joke among interviewees all over the media, and anchors, and everybody else for months and months. Anchors sat a few feet apart and chatted about stuff without wearing masks. Personalities on tv did the same. People ripped their masks off all the time on tv to talk. Trump did not help. All the while, hundreds of thousands of people died. If you'd had the television people using masks and stopping "FUN FISHING FOR EVERYBODY THIS WEEKEND ON THE LAKE!" with people unmasked and laughing and the old normal as early as last May, it would've been completely different.

Purgatory Glory posted:Telling people they were entered into a draw to win a million dollars saw upticks. That pushes the population that stats don't register with. Too dumb to know that covid risk vs any fake vaccine risk cooked up, also too dumb to know they won't win the million bucks. I know of people that will get it once it is clear that travel is restricted if they don't. It's ridiculous, if I genuinely though the vaccine was gonna hurt me I wouldn't bend on it.what kind of character does someone have who puts themselves at a perceived risk because they want to travel?

Not yelled about how great it was going to be all over the news so 2,000 people showed up.

ShadowHawk posted:They should do the lottery draw on live tv with the entire state population and if an unvaxed person wins they announce their name, say "sorry but you're disqualified", then draw again This would be a good idea, but their database is probably incomplete and the person who was wrongly disqualified would sue, and then the person who won on the redraw would sue, and it would all be a big mess. Better to not let people know if they lost because their name was never in the drawing or was there and simply wasn’t picked.

My county and 3 of the 5 neighboring counties are all over 50% vaxxed. The other 2 will hopefully reach 50% in the next weekish. BIG DRYWALL MAN posted:That Hbomberguy episode is real good. I had no idea the amount of poo poo rear end stupidity is based on 8 parents and 1 “doctor” assuming its from a vaccine. Yeah. I knew the early bits about how it was on way too small of a sample size and didn't use real evidence as much as feelings from the parents, but holy poo poo I didn't know all the other crazy stuff. The conflicts of interest are especially eye opening. I knew there were some, but I thought it was like self interest in making an outlandish claim to sell books or something, not the nakedly transparent poo poo he did.

Yeh my point was at the end there, we can’t drop any more measures till the kids are vaccinated, if grandad didn’t want his vaccine then gently caress him, he should have been fully vaccinated a month ago. We should be offering it to those aged 12-18 right now if they are more susceptible to the Indian variant.

Had my first dose of Pfizer on Wednesday (33, UK). No side effects except a dull pain at the injection site which has faded at this point. I did go home after the shot and sleep for 12 hours, but not sure if that was related. My little brother (30) has his lined up for next week, they seem to be working pretty fast.

Saying that, if we get the percentage of 1st/2nd doses to Israels percentages in the next few months, that may ne enough to start killing the cases naturally anyway.

Only four more cases in Melbourne Australia today but dozens and dozens of new addresses have been added to the exposure site list, including this one where a person who later tested positive had been lining up at a vaxx hub to get the flu jab: What lovely luck  The good news is that the outbreak has really shaken people out of the vaccine lethargy and jab numbers have soared and stayed way up:  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-02/charting-australias-covid-vaccine-rollout/13197518?nw=0 Lots of people I know have gotten their jab this week but a bunch of others are reporting that the appointment hotline is absolutely swamped and they just can't get through to book their vaxx even after hours and hours of sitting on the phone and having their calls repeatedly drop out mr_jolly posted:The latest info from public health England says that astrazenica is around 60% effective against the Indian variant after two shots and around 33% effective after the first. The latest data also shows its much more transmissible than the Kent variant. A lot of the UK population still aren't fully vaccinated. If the Indian variant starts spreading like wildfire, that's still a large amount of people not fully protected and could still result in another big wave. Here in Australia we're saving Pfizer for the under 50s and giving everyone 50+ AZ because of the clotting issue but the current outbreak in Melbourne is 100% India variant so I'm seeing a lot of older people showing vaxx hesitancy on social media because they'd really really prefer Pfizer and not AZ, which I guess is understandable. Again, some real lovely luck on how it's all unfolded. But 60% protection is still WAY better than 0% protection, the government really needs to start leaning on that messaging

Some redneck pilot in my ex-wife's family was a COVID denier until recently. Their whole family has it now, and his wife has been hospitalized. "Yeah, it's not just like the flu". Well no poo poo you idiot. Now get your asses immunized.

My mom is a huge denier. "As soon as people start getting those shots they'll die." Not because the first people to get it were 90+ or anything. Because the vaccine is cancer poison, ofc. It's revenge for Trump losing, I'm sure. Or whatever fox news told her to say to people. Her and her boyfriend both got covid. They didn't die, and I'm pissed. She also still denies it, and got her vaccine like, immediately. She's not an essential worker or anything. She was pissed that she was basically forced to get the vaccine. She still denies covid is real.

I'm sorry for his family because suffering should always be mourned but also absolutely gently caress that guy and everyone he hurt by infecting them because you know that gently caress infected shitloads. E: The fishing thing was a local anecdote up at a lake in Appling, GA. It's just so dumb though. Every time there was anything going on locally these maskless talking heads encouraged everybody to go to it.
