COVID-19: Chapter 8 - Ongoing source of viral information, and a little fun

Awesome. Thanks for the replies, makes sense.

I’m pretty sure it’s relative to the expectation of an unvaccinated person.

This was the key to my misunderstanding obv.

I can’t wait for the “How it started” “How it’s going” montage when that guy inevitably gets Covid.

Oh man, the people finally worrying about COVID sure have some ideas where it’s coming from. Not Sturgis. The southern border ldo.

ETA: The meat packing plant in SD too. Definitely NOT Sturgis though!

So this school year if (when) there are outbreaks in schools in red states, the schools aren’t even going to shut down, right?

Of course not. That would letting the liberals win.

Not even a little bit. Its gonna spread rampantly through the youth population

Someone else said UA contract has if pilot scheduled somewhere where vax required they are removed from flight and not paid.

I’m just never going to understand obviously intelligent people not getting vaccinated. My brain can’t process it. What the fucking fuck.

Meanwhile in Mexico…

My girlfriend’s age group (she’s 27), is finally coming up in parts of Mexico, but we’re in Puerto Vallarta and this state (Jalisco) seems to be lagging way behind.

So she’s debating taking a 10 hour bus ride to Querétaro, where a friend lives, to get the first shot on Monday or just waiting a bit longer and taking a flight to Mexico City, where her family lives, to get the shot next Thursday/Friday. She’d need a proof of address, and would have it for those options.

Other factors in play are that we have a refundable Nov. 7 flight planned to Madrid and she probably needs to get her 2nd shot at least 15 days before that. Mexico is pretty slow with 2nd shots and usually takes between 6-12 weeks to apply them.

Also, Mexico has a lot of Astra Zeneca and Sputnik, but Europe doesn’t even recognize Sputnik as an ok vaccine, so she has to make sure she’s getting AZ.

If vaccination of under 12 takes until midwinter and schools open I would expect the majority of kids under 12 catch COVID and maybe close to all of them.

I’m still dumbfounded by the OFS debate we had here with people defending oyster

Bright side UV is like 90% vaxxed.

Downside lots of universities are not tracking who is vaxxed.

Scrappy indie hot take artist challenging the establishment? You know online dudes are going to eat that shit up no matter how bonkers the take is.

Other interesting data:

My girlfriend teaches Spanish online and has dozens of American students and said the topic of vaccines comes up a lot and out of about 40ish students, all of them have been vaccinated except 2. 1 is a little nervous and on the fence, but not necessarily against. Another has lupus.

Multilingual people FTW.

It seems pretty unlikely that schools are going to shut down anywhere under any circumstances.
