those posters are great examples of how people with book smarts can be and are still complete pompous self-obsessed morons devoid of any ability to reason with simple lizard-brain levels of common sense.

Got my Moderna booster (the half dose) on Friday, went pretty smoothly-- had a mild fever and mild body aches on Saturday, felt a little off on Sunday, and feel pretty much back to normal today. Seemed to be about the same as dose 2, maybe a little easier. My wife is getting hers in about a week, and she booked a couple of days off from work to recuperate, because the second dose kicked the poo poo out of her. Hoping that's not the case for her with the booster, but has anyone really had a milder reaction to their booster than they did their second?

Iron Crowned posted:Yeah, I observed that before the pandemic a lot of the service and other low wage workers (grocery store for example) were of retirement age. I'm pretty sure that accounts for a lot of workforce displacement, they just died or retired, because who the gently caress wants to scrap with a Karen who didn't get her $1 burrito. you just made me realize that the elderly employees who used to work at my local safeway aren't there anymore, along with half the other employees (and they finally installed self-checkout machines, because of the lack of workers i assume) this one old guy who works at trader joes who looks like bernie sanders is still there though lol unlike that safeway, that trader joes

Was talking with some co-workers last week about the booster and someone said they'll have to wait until they can find a free weekend to suffer through the effects. I don't understand that at all. Weekend is my time. I just went and got boosted and the flu shot this morning so all of my suffering happens while I am also being paid.

poll plane variant posted:30% of vaxxed iowans are not hospitalized lol no, in the hospital census for last week, 30% of people hospitalized for covid were also vaccinated it's a valid point that it's a small sample size compared to the entire country and not weighted for age, but WI's data is larger and age weighted and also shows the same trends -- the overall ratio of unvaxxed outcomes to vaxxed outcomes, in cases and hospitalizations, is dropping. waning protection against severe disease is uncontroversial enough that the NYTs even wrote about it last thursday https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/28/us/covid-breakthrough-cases.html there's lots of "everything is okay!" language you have to parse through but: quote:The data can also give scientists a crude understanding of the effectiveness of the vaccine over time. If the ratio of cases or deaths among the unvaccinated to those among the vaccinated holds steady, the vaccines are thought to be maintaining their protection. emphasis mine. like children being exposed, we're just dismissing old people's declining VE as well, that's clearly not something we have to worry about infuriating we are choosing to just ignore old people as curious outliers to our robust vaccines rather than push boosters in LTCFs as hard as we pushed original vaccines. time to shave off another few years of life expectancy!

Driving a truck is just like that! when i was 16 and didn't have a drivers license my coworker let me drive a big box truck (whatever the biggest size is before you need a truck driving license) in order to clear a driveway we were blocking, while he was busy with something he also had at least one DUI on his record and was the guy who gave me my first cigarette, and he once had me stand on the forklift forks while we lifted some heavy rear end poo poo 20 feet in the air great dude lol i wonder what his position in the CDC is

Oh yeah that's very true. Even if you kind of write off kids as just not likely to make a dent in the state numbers and ignore the ineligible as part of the "hospitalizable" pool the efficacy is clearly waning and boosting is key.

Dren posted:i thought one of mcconnell's conditions for one of the bailouts was employer immunity against this type of lawsuit He never got that enshrined in federal law, AFAIK - but a ton of states passed laws to that effect. I think it's stupid hard to prove you got it at work regardless too. The law is pretty drat hostile to normal people.

Teenage Riot posted:I got boosted on Saturday and aside from all the other symptoms have had a single Rush song stuck on my head the whole time, did not realize I could blame Pfizer for this Definitely my favorite part of the experience because it's so bizarre. 2nd dose was a pink and green line descending into the void all night. 3rd dose was asking myself "should I go into the office" all night (I am unemployed and don't work in an office) with the black and white charts from the 50ug Moderna study floating around like a screensaver. It's all so abstract and frenetic as it's happening, it's fascinating.

After I argued my way out of a fire alarm inspection with apartment complex management, my MIL sent my wife articles about the QAnon "vaccine shedding" conspiracy and asked if that's what I've gotten myself into (I'd said that COVID is airborne and can hang in the air for hours).

just dropping this to say this is new data visualization I hadn’t seen that looks at breakthrough by age cohorts https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/28/us/covid-breakthrough-cases.html e: no matter your age, infections go up by about the same amount, so it’s waning for everybody pretty much equally on that front. I guess this jives with a there still being a decent amount of younger people getting rocked by COVID, just not dying. Crazyweasel fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Nov 1, 2021 |
