OT: vaccine

[sufandu]

This seems high. Most of my patients are 75 and older and a lot of them are still trying to get it. It's getting better though.

just saying. putting this out there. nothing i've heard anywhere.
but just suppose the dome opens in the fall semester vaccine proof provided only.
how does that make you feel ?

no comment on that specifically but the whole getting a covid test 24 hours before wont work for any out of town season ticket holders or fans unless they allow local test 48 hours before then a rapid one at the dome. Hopefully by then we will have reached herd immunity and testing isnt needed

would be hard to take everyone at honor system, i guess show the vaccine card or something?

 

[PhatOrange]

You might be nominated for a Darwin Award

Along with 29 million other people who got COVID and didn’t die?

I can't imagine how that wouldn't work tremendously well in 2021 America.

I'd typically be worried about some folks right here on the boards forging their proof of vaccination, but apparently they've devoted their energies to cutting in line instead.

I still think he’s an elaborate troll. I refuse to believe there’s a real person out there like him.

I think dedicated is the better term; there's nothing elaborate about the persona in question. Definitely a commitment to taking the worst possible stance on basically any issue.

I don't believe the #s are that high. As of March 4th 16.3% of the US population had received at least one shot and 8.4% had received two shots. The latest estimates I saw was that we would get to 50% by early June.

They did 2.9M doses on Friday, a new record.

 

[upperdeck]

Ny state is going up by about 5% a week right at this pace.

Huge props for giving Zippy some air time. He is a kindred spirit of mine.

Yeah I know. Def awesome. But there is no way on earth that 28% of the US population has been vaccinated which is the post I was responding to earlier in this thread. Mid to high teens is more like it. 28% would imply more than 100 million have already been vaccinated. That math doesn't work.

Today's Washington Post

58.9 million vaccinated the number of people who have received at least one dose of the vaccine,
covering 48.3% of the prioritized population
and 17.7% of the total population.

Yeah that 17.7% figure on the total population makes sense. thx

usually pretty rough for those that had Covid after the first shot

I know a couple people that had it and after the first shot they showed symptoms more than just arm soreness

I had Covid. Similar reactions after both doses of Moderna. Fever started about 12 hours after the vaccine was administered and lasted 6-8 hours or so. Had a small bout of chills as well.

My girlfriend also had Covid and received her first dose of Pfizer a few days ago. Her sinuses flared up and she got extremely tired but no fever or chills. As SUFaninNJ said, it’s possible the reactions between Moderna and Pfizer differ.

Of course there are the 500,000 plus that did.

The point is to stop the spread of it so the vulnerable stop dying and so we can get back to important things like getting drunk in public and watching sports in person, no?

 

[storange]

Just looked at vaccine tracker at ny.gov Over 1,000,000 doses have been distributed the past week.

And getting SWOLE at the gym!

Having in person sports in the fall seems likely to me. As more supply becomes available more vaccination locations will open up. Publix pharmacies in Florida either have started or are about to start vaccinating. I think I heard about Walmart pharmacies starting in other places. When pharmacies and MD offices are able to distribute it, the vaccination rate should really pick up. It seems feasible to me that every adult that wants it could be vaccinated by September. Then, we're just waiting on approval for kids and maybe working on booster shots, if necessary.

The roll out you describe is already happening in many states, and the timetable for vaccinating every adult American who wants it is much closer to June than September.

Yeah, I know. I said it was happening in my post. I picked september because that's the beginning of football season and someone was asking about in person attendance.

My wife and I participated in the Pfizer test study. She received the actual vaccine and I received the placebo. I asked to be unblinded and when told I received the placebo I was given priority to receive the real vaccine. Wife had some reaction for about 12 hours after the 2nd shot, and I had no reaction after either real shot. Please get the vaccine. No downside, huge upside.
