So we wait to shut down until it gets awesomely bad but if the 7 day average drops by 1 its YOLO.

At least theyâre not opening the schools!
âI think with the grace of God . . . weâll be able to get that to 1.5 million a day,â Biden told reporters.
Well weâre fucked.

Long time ago they issued some closure in my city and the state made them stop it. And my city has been kinda famously OFB at times. Heâs been mixed on this all along. Easy to say whatever during press conferences.
Check out the change in LA county deaths just since this November:

New deaths in LA county (per week) is the last number in each line
Whatâs nuts is that the US is 6th in the world in vaccines per 100 inhabitants with 6.82. Israel, UAE, Seychelles, UK and Bahrain are the only countries ahead of them. Sure they fucked up basically everywhere else but theyâre on point regarding vaccinations compared to most of the world.
Czech Republic is 15th in the EU at 1.81 vaccinations per 100 people. 15th doesnât sound terrible until people remember that weâre 2nd in the EU in both covid cases per capita and covid deaths per capita over the last 14 days. We should be getting these out way faster given our situation.
I hope that trend is coming to California rather than our trend heading to everyone else.
Yep, a lot of the leading indicators are positive.
%pos rate has declined to 11% recently (peak was 17%). Overall cases are below the pre-Christmas levels on the same number of tests. Hospitalization rate is down about 15% from its peak.
As we vaccinate more and more people and the reduced transmission rates take hold, the death rate should plummet in the coming weeks. The pandemic remains an extremely huge challenge, but hopefully the period of 3,000 deaths/day will soon be behind us for good.

I think (hope) many people will be/are being more careful as the time when they can get vaccinated gets closer. I think even with not-braindead people thereâs been a little âthis thing is never going to end and weâre all going to get it anyway so YOLOâ. But when the end is in sight I think a lot of people understand that it would be so incredibly stupid to be careless and die when they are a few months from vaccination.

Yeah some people are really good at pretending. Iâve dated some people I thought were decent who ended up being pretty awful. Though I was in my early to mid 20s.
Denmark, genomically sequencing 100% of their positive tests would most definately think itâs heading outwards but most ITT seem convinced otherwise.
Fauci is onboard but the messaging needs to be stronger.
Can you explain exactly what youâre trying to say here, because once again, it makes zero sense and Iâm tired of guessing at your nonsense.
J&J vaccine phase III report supposedly coming out next week. Their early data was quite promising. Different type of vaccine so I assume there wonât be a ton of cross over in raw material other than glass vials. Could put us over the top.

Also donât understand. I donât think anyone here disputes that there are mutant strains that are taking over as the dominant strain due to faster spread.
we have a friend in that trial. No reaction so heâs wondering if he got placebo. On the other hand, another friendâs wife got Moderna two weeks ago with no reaction.
Every country that has been bashed by the UK variant has experienced a drop in cases whilst the more transmissible variant becomes dominant.
The best analogy is the guy stood on the beach, watching the tide go out incredibly far only to get mullered by the fast moving, unescapable wave that we all knew, after seeing the vid 4 times and would now know, was coming.
Just trying to warn the folks that the Tsunami is coming.
Danish public health officials say that if it werenât for their extensive monitoring, they would be feeling a false sense of confidence right now. Overall, new daily confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Denmark have been dropping for a month.
I believe this will be problem for US, more than any other country to date becuase you have not and will not lockdown hard enough to stop the spread.
Attempted to get a vaccine appointment in New York after a co-worker confirmed that higher ed support staff was eligible. Called, was informed that there were no appointments within 200 miles through April, but to try back again since things could conceivable open up.
Yeah right, but called back a few hours later, and got a February 11 appointment. Before my 75 year old parentsâ March appointments. Feel guilty to a degree, extremely fortunate/lucky to a large degree.
But, a good case study for eligible folks in NY that there were no available time slots - try back frequently!

so I was right and you were talking about something wholly different than anyone else. Thanks.
Two reasons for this to happen
- The new strain(s) bypasses current control efforts
- On the downside of cases, people relax lockdown efforts
Iâd place my bet on primary (2) with a side helping of (1).
And of course the US will get smacked hard. Alot of colleges seem to be coming back in person, Villanova down the street is back on campus this week.
