compshateme85 posted:Vaccinated people will stop testing, so the positivity rate will not be reflective of the virus circulation. This will make it harder to track the spread of variants. No they probably won’t. At this point if someone comes down with COVID symptoms vaccinated or not they will most likely get tested.

Bape Culture posted:The UK tracing is pretty serious now. I’ve had daily phone calls since getting back from Sweden and taken multiple tests. Friends have had the police round if they’ve missed the calls and I believe the call locations are tracked to make sure you are not moving around. Border control were serious about seeing all the proofs too. Took way too long but it’s legit good now. But someone else just said it’s all poo poo and they aren’t doing anything???  Not sure which is true (yes I do)!

Platystemon posted:That’s an IHME estimate and I don’t think it can be true because it significantly exceeds measures of excess deaths. FWIW traffic deaths seem to have gone up. quote:Driving was markedly down in 2020, yet a new report found a surprising and alarming statistic: Traffic deaths actually rose last year. The National Safety Council (NSC) says deaths from motor vehicles rose 8% last year, with as many as 42,060 people dying in vehicle crashes

I work at a major international airport and let me tell you what. COVID is definitely over. Passenger loads on nearly all airlines are getting close to pre COVID levels. Domestic and international. Everyone has a mask on though!

Picnic Princess posted:Husband still hasn't been able to book his first shot, and they've opened bookings for everyone over 12 now, so his spot in line to access the booking site is nearly 90,000th. That is a bit frustrating but also fantastic that so many under 40s are getting vaccinated. This waiting to book hasn't happened since the very first round for elderly and severely ill. I took the day off for my 2 hour appointment because gently caress it the government is paying for it

Fluffy Bunnies posted:It really, really depends on your situation. Are you on a jogging trail with very little breeze and everyone is staying way the hell apart (since they just said that it can spread more than 6 ft)? Yeah that's probably fine. Or like, outdoor yoga that's got everybody very far spaced and has little wind. True but the people not wearing masks should be fully vaccinated so that doesn’t really matter.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Meh. Despite how the Republican death cult is operating, it still strikes me as a reach that the Supreme Court would void a century or more of established case law to own the libs. During the measles outbreaks a couple years ago I read into the matter (disclaimer: I am not a lawyer) and the ability of individual states to mandate vaccination under the umbrella of public health is pretty robust. Not to mention that employers can mandate these things, too. States maybe it just seems like a pretty large over reach for it to be federally mandated.

CaptainSarcastic posted:The cashier at the grocery store doesn't know if I'm vaccinated. The small restaurant I got takeout from yesterday doesn't know if I'm vaccinated. If wearing a mask makes others around me feel safer then I'm going to do it. I'm not sure why this is a difficult concept, much less something to get angry about. But you know you are vaccinated. Also one thing that struck me over the past few is that the vaccine was treated as the holy grail and once it rolls out to enough people the end will be in sight. That doesn’t seem to be the case looking over posts in this thread.

The place I got vaccinated sent me a link so I could add my vaccination record to my Apple wallet which shows the dates and has a QR code which can be scanned. That’s really the only trustworthy way it’s gonna work. The physical cards are a joke.

It was done through LA county but they used a third party (carbon Health which I had never heard of). I have to imagine other places will try and roll something similar out. It doesn’t seem that difficult.

Accretionist posted:If it leaked, it's the same risk every lab takes. Eh I wouldn’t be so sure about that. China notoriously pays its scientists and associated workers pretty crap wages and I highly doubt they take the same levels of precautions. It’s definitely not an intentional leak but I can 100% but it being accidental.

This might seem a little weird but I’ll ask anyway. My wife was talking to me about women reporting irregularities in their period after the shot and now she’s reporting the same ( it’s super early when it’s normally with in a few days). Is there any real data on this?
