COVID-19: Chapter 7 - Brags, Beats, and Variants

A bunch of appts for tomorrow at the Forum have been available all day on myturn in CA. A good sign imo. They open up to all 50-64 on Thursday.

Apparently the rich used the spices as status symbols (rich people never change) - they would invite guests for dinner and display their spice collection.

To some extent eggplant occupied the place in Italian food that tomatoes do now.

Bleh

I was going to make a joke about Caesar salad. Except Caesar salad doesn’t have tomatoes. And it’s not Italian.

If I lost my sense of taste, I would immediately start eating really healthy. Might as well take advantage while I have no desire for burgers and chocolate.

Pretty much exactly what I thought too. Gonna eat crazy amounts of radishes and brussels sprouts.

I love it. Spices as the old time equivalents of pianos and chess boards that are never played and books that are never read.

Brag: New Hampshire opened up appointments for over 40 folks today, and I lucked out and got my wife and I appointments for Tuesday the 6th.

Beat: After not having a haircut for a year, my wife blinked and asked to cut my hair. It’s now basically a mullet.

Variance: She seems to, ahem, dig the mullet.

Always interesting these articles.

Island province with 156k population suspends use. UK currently injecting at the rate of 156k AZ vaccines every 4 hours (for months now).

Alright guys whats your best estimate of when everyone who wants a vaccine will have access to them in USA

yah, if I posted that we need a link to the study that suggests this.

Otherwise it seems to imply a vaccinated person can still transmit to a vaccinated person (ā€œAmong those who were fully vaccinatedā€¦ā€) i.e vaccinated can catch and transmit to the vaccinated, albeit at a low rate. I wonder how much they transmit to the unvaccinated.

Any idea when the study data end date was? (it was pre-variants).

For the avoidance of doubt, I’m not shitting on current vaccines

Pakistan president tests positive

Pakistan’s President Arif Alvi has tweeted that he has tested positive for Covid-19.

Alvi, who is 71, says he has taken the first dose of a Covid vaccine but is awaiting the second.

It is still possible to contract coronavirus after being vaccinated but the jabs protect most people against serious complications of the disease. A second dose also offers greater protection.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan tested positive earlier this month. Cases in Pakistan are on the rise, with about 4,000 cases a day reported in the past week.

Nice. I’m going to become a basketball ref and make bad calls just so the coach will take off his mask and yell in my face.
