Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

If Psaki ever returns for a press conf I hope someone asks about the policy to get boosters being instated prior to the scientific review being completed and the resulting recommendation - that they only made policy based on the science™

When did Nooga get a new Mayor? Is the new guy a lib like Burke?

He owned a Subaru dealership, you tell me.

Nothing. Joe had a plan for covid, he said so. He can barely function for 4 hours a day.

Apparently this is a problem now.

found this interesting on a couple levels but mostly - if the vaccine greatly reduces the chance of serious illness, how many vaccinated people need the ICU?

Stupid people do stupid things, let Darwin run it's course.

Humanity has three main questions that people seem to want answered:
Can I ingest it?
Can I inject it?
Can I smoke it?

And unfortunately, time has proven over and over that natural selection is not an accurate science.

Please stop bothering hospitals if you know better.

Why can't they adjust the vax to be more effective vs the Delta variant? If they don't do that, I don't see that another shot is practical

It's already in the works. I heard it would take c. 100 days from start to ready.

You mean the vaccine that is supposed to keep you out of the hospital? Interesting.

at least keep you out of the ICU - I get that it's not perfect and we shouldn't expect it. It's just part of the bigger messaging problem - get the vax to stay out of the ICU or we won't let you in the ICU because we need it for the vaxxed.

Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19

All he has to say is *could*. Things could be worse without the vaccine. And that would be true.

*would* is just blowing smoke.

1. It was an op-ed the psychologist submitted, not a position piece adopted or sponsored by the paper.
2. One would think a site named "Reason" would be reasonable and rational instead of almost mocking at times.
3. As the husband and father of two severely hard of hearing people, the frustration is well justified. My wife and daughter rely on facial cues and occasional lip reading to survive conversations. The response from Reason is quite accurate in that assessment.

I’ve heard nothing about this locally.

Apparently this is a problem now.

Maybe the solution would be to approve the human doses for COVID instead of the media running it down every chance they get?

Just a thought.

Something anyone with common sense already knew. I wonder if this is going to be memory holed or fact checked into oblivion?

weren't they critiquing her position (as written in the op-ed) rather than the paper? all I see is that they note where the op-ed was published

it's an opinion piece from Reason - opinion pieces generally use rhetorical language to state or counter a position

IOW - I don't see the problems you noted in that particular piece

Cool news: 8 months later and I definitely have nucleocapsid antibody. Quantitative spike antibody titer should be back Monday.

Common sense left humanity about a year ago.

Where did you get these tested?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Where did you get these tested?

LabCorp. The semiquant ab test is $40, and you don't need an order, they will provide it. Some CVS clinics are LabCorp affiliated.

Not sure if they will do the nucleocapsid test routinely. I know a guy.
