Summary: Joe will sign US up to Covax

@goofyballer seems to like splitting off threads. With cuse and jal on a timeout, maybe he has time to do what you want.

I’d suggest the subject is over for another week at least so why hide the last 24 hrs of~100 posts by multiple posters with insightful views.

Attitudes have changed from 3 months ago. It’s an important topic.

Im not saying its not important. Im saying its a distinct topic which is worthy of its own thread.

Covid is the biggest thing in two decades. It can sustain more than one thread.

Ah the good ole refrigerator death trap episode.

How the fuck is Punky Brewster making a comeback?

I’d appreciate the opinions on this. My read is not so much that schools are worse. They are just not better.

Otherwise I’m fine with a new thread though my opinion is it’s not needed.

I’d love to see solutions space. I’ve thrown out some ideas like cycling between longer periods of of OFS followed by 1-2 lockdowns.

Hopefully in the US we will get the opportunity for such plans coming about 7 weeks.

At this point there is a 0% chance of a competent response for Covid. It is vaccinate as many as possible as fast as possible.

Update on the villages of the Canadian prairies:

So, when I last updated you, they had a “hugs not masks” rally where attendees were fined. The next week, during our strict “code red” lockdown, over 100 people attended church which caused more outcry.

And this weekend…

That area has a 40% positivity rate, the highest in Canada.

It’s a data point to be sure. I expect epidemiologists will be sitting through the data and puzzling out if there are differences between adults and kids for years.

Moderna says they expect to have 20 million vaccine doses for the US market by the end of 2020. Very good news. If the Pfizer vaccine has a similar number we might see a significant fraction of the US population vaccinated this winter.

On schools. Some kids with disabilities or who have social issues have been doing better.

it’s not data manipulation. Shocker, government officials work less on major holidays and weekends.

But back when Mason worked for the census he put in 80 hour weeks.

Here in the States, we had similarly onerous regulations for using telehealth. However, beginning in March the Federal Government, most insurance companies, and many states all loosened the rules, basically saying “do whatever you need to do in order to see your patients via telehealth.”

Tackle football in the snow was the best. It’s freaks me out that I never see kids playing in the streets anymore.

My mom is a psychologist and has been doing hers remotely since March.

She’s in her own private practice and in the US so may be different in Germany.

You’re probably in the wrong neighborhoods for it. It’s still pretty common in working class and poor areas.

Ohio exploding right now and the batshit right is going after Dewine for even making token efforts to save lives.
