Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

My mother -- a retired floor nurse, now working as a school nurse -- told me she's going to wait to take it, in case of side effects. It really took all I had to tell her that any side effects are not going to matter for her as she's not gonna have any kids in her late 60s and she's statistically unlikely to need to worry about side effects in 40 years.
 
I’m so pissed off at our Governor Rick Desantis. He is such a piece of shit.

First, he has mandated that vaccines go to the elderly first instead of essential workers. This reeks of buying future votes.

Then he has washed his hands of it. Instead of mandating rules state wide, he had left everything up to each county. Some have appointments, some are first come first served. His lack of leadership (like his mentor Trump) is creating mayhem.

Yeah...I get not taking it if you have a history of side effects or allergic reactions to vaccines.

I don't get this 50% of nurses not wanting to take it for whatever reason.

If you take it and it doesn't work - your still in the same boat as not taking it.....it either will work or not work. There really isn't a down side.

Now...I do know of a few nurses/staff that have had anaphylactic reactions...but that's a handful out of thousands of doses. And these are given at the hospital - there's an ER right there. It's the safest place to be in case you do get a reaction.

Most people I talked with had no issues - or very little - like a sore arm or headache as I had.

The majority of nurses I work with got the shot....at least the 1st dose so far.

I get my 2nd dose on the 13th.

The one that didn't and was the most vocal about not taking it was a Trump supporter...so there's that.

The nurse that is allergic to almost EVERYTHING even got the shot...and we have to make sure to let her know when we put out some hazelnut creamer - just in case it's made with real nuts.

He is a loathesome craven travesty. Being dragged into the 'glades and left for the gators would probably be too good for him. It really borders on gross negligence and endangerment of life to be as cavalier as his administration has been. Rebekah Jones is a hero, but honestly I don't think we should have to depend on the honesty and goodwill of singular government employees to save citizens from this orchestrated shitbaggery.

US considering cutting Moderna vaccine doses in half to speed up roll out

The coronavirus pandemic has brought countries to a standstill. Meanwhile, vaccinations have already started in some countries as cases continue to rise. Follow here for the latest.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

We are missing are vaccine targets so we are going to cut the doses in half to speed up the process? This hasn't even been studied and we don't know if it's effective.

Also, didn't the US just say we would not follow the UK with delaying the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine and stick to the manufacturers schedule? wtf

It seems worth considering, but hardly seems like the priority at the moment when we can't administer them half as fast as they are delivered.
 
New year, new variant. Hooray (not)

Hancock told ITV News that the strain found in South Africa “seems even more easy to transmit than the new variant we’ve seen here [in the UK].”

Only two cases of the South African variant have been documented in the UK, but officials are hoping to keep a handle on it, as 55,000 new coronavirus cases were reported in the country on Sunday, according to the report.

Go home, conspiracy theorists, you're drunk.

The notion that COVID-19 vaccines will be used by governments across the globe to track the human race's every move has long been a topic of discussion among conspiracy theorists. But now, new 'evidence' has emerged from Italian proponents of the idea – only it would be evidence, were it not a reworked schematic for the Boss Metal Zone.

Conspiracy theorists share schematic for “5G chip” they claim is implanted in COVID-19 vaccines – only it's actually for the Boss Metal Zone

As soon as it's your turn, you'll have op-amps and 1n4148 diodes injected straight into your bloodstream, apparently

Haha, nano-potentiometers.
 
If anyone wants to see the PDFs for the Moderna and Pfizer fact sheets, let me know and I'll upload them somewhere for easy download.
I don't know if they've been provided to the world at large on the open web.
 
Wooooow, don't have a heart attack in LA.

Hospitals in California, which are already at maximum capacity, have begun seeing patients in gift shops, parking lots and outdoor tents. Ambulances are being forced to queue outside of hospitals for hours as they wait for Emergency Room workers to take their patients.
Dr Marianne Gausche-Hill, the medical director of LA County's Emergency Services Agency who issued the latest directives, told CBS News that ambulance workers will continue to work to save lives of patients at the scene.
"We are not abandoning resuscitation," Dr Gausche-Hill said. "We are absolutely doing best practice resuscitation and that is do it in the field, do it right away."
"What we're asking is that - which is slightly different than before - is that we are emphasising the fact that transporting these patients arrested leads to very poor outcomes," she added. "We knew that already and we just don't want to impact our hospitals."
Treating heart attack and stroke patients at the scene can increase chances of survival, she said.

This was included with a project meeting under "Safety". There's a lot to unpack here... Firstly this was sent to a bunch of engineers and designers for a warehouse project. Zero context. Secondly, "Wuhan Virus" really?! Death RATE has flattened? Sure it may not be going exponential but you're good with 3,000+ dead a day and invoke Jesus, in a project meeting agenda?!

We don't do project lunches anymore due to the Wuhan Virus. As everyone knows if we wear masks for 6 weeks we will flatten the
curve. If we stay home for 3 months we will flatten the curve. If we shut down bars and restaurants for 6 months we will flatten the
curve. If "you" social distance and quit having sex we will flatten the curve. Evidently the people executing the shut downs are not
watching the news. Wuhan virus cases are skyrocketing. The good news the death rate has flattened out, thank you Jesus. We have
been "flattening the curve" since March, that is 8 months and everything the experts told us to try has not worked. Go figure. Don't
forget to wear your face covering.

I would report them to HR if that happened to me.

Problem is they are the client. Who do I report them to? If this was internally produced by my company I would be all over it. Unfortunately this was probably written by a "good-ole-boy" who thought he was so smart. Plain to see the sentiments of some people written in black and white. Misguided, xenophobic, and lacking any awareness to the real problems at hand.
