If you have already had the C-19 virus, what is to be gained by having a vaccine shot?   Will your body not have produced sufficient anti-bodies?

It's fucking unconscionable how vaccination against a deadly disease is a goddam lottery  in this country. FUCK capitalism. FUCK Trump.

Excellent news!

Our county got turned down for this week's shipment. Folks scheduled for their second shots were SOL this week. So next week's (maybe allotment of 975 doses, yes, that's all we get at a time) will be for second doses, and no new vaccinations.

Ridiculous how it's happening around here. Summer for me, maybe.

Victoria plunged into new lockdown amid UK strain fears

Regional Victorians are facing the most stringent set of lockdown laws since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The State Government's "circuit breaker" lockdown commenced at 11.59pm Friday and applies to the entire state, regardless of where you live.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced the five-day lockdown in response to a COVID-19 cluster emerging from the Holiday Inn quarantine hotel.

For the first time, regional Victorians must stay within 5 kilometres of their home whilst abiding by the "four reasons" restrictions.

South Korea Grants Emergency Use of Controversial AstraZeneca Vaccine 
South Korea has approved the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University for all adults, despite concerns over the lack of data on its effectiveness among the elderly. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety granted emergency use for the two-dose vaccine Wednesday, but only on the condition that the British-Swedish drugmaker provide the results of its current late-stage clinical trials on adults 18 years of age and older. The ministry has also issued a precautionary warning about inoculating South Koreans older than 65 years of age. Inoculations of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the first to be approved for use in South Korea, will begin on February 26.

i wonder how many deaths worldwide could have been avoided if china had taken action sooner

if people are curious about why some countries like south korea have responded relatively well

see Dr.Jerome Kim, Director General of the International Vaccine Institute (IVI)

here he touches on south korean pandemic drills from a virus originating in china

they actually had one in dec 2019

this along with their experience from sars and mers prepped them for an event like the current scenario

No, it's the socialists, the libtards, the immigrants. They're the ones we need to be afraid of. Oh, and we should fear the ones who want to get us health care.

Pasted:  The CDC released research in recent weeks suggesting that it is safe to reopen schools if people wear masks and socially distance from one another.


Nice sentiment but in practice it is very, very difficult to get children to constantly wear masks and in particular practice social distancing.  That is what I am hearing from the front lines of teaching high school children here in British Columbia.

Mathematically it makes sense, but the problem with math is that people are involved.  That's not always a bad thing.

My mother, who is in lockdown at a senior home counts the same as my daughter.  Let's say my daughter is currently working in a restaurant, teaching school, going to bars...hates masks and distance... you know, let's assume she lives in Florida or the Dakota's.

There is no comparison of the impact vaccination would have on those two individuals.

What I believe you'll see if the virus persists are mandatory vaccination requirements for participation in some things.  Sports, Concerts, theaters, cruise lines...it's a really tricky balance, but if we can't shake the virus and there are pockets that continue to incubate the virus, my guess is the majority (which you need or this is all a waste of time discussing) will drive protocols.  Hopefully, we never find out what "would have happened" if we don't get the herd immunity.  

 

Yeah, business-wise it will be interesting to see who survives. I'm not a big fan of going to restaurants that ignore protocols because if they can't get employees to mask up in the kitchen, well that doesn't inspire confidence.


So those places should eventually close, I would think, as people stay away in droves. 

 

We have just re-opened restaurants at 25% capacity. The local pub looked closer to 70% when we walked by, and we parked in front of the Italian place for our takeout, and EVERY SINGLE TABLE I COULD SEE was occupied. Mrs. Islander said that they had a section in back that was closed off, but I still don't think that gets them to 25%, and it certainly doesn't meet the spirit of the restriction. 

I understand restaurants wanting to serve everyone possible while they can, and I get that people want to get back out there, but this just seems like madness to me. We will soon have an uptick in cases and they will shut everything back down and everyone will bitch and moan...
