All things CoronaVirus

I know new variant and all that but folks wearing masks spread out around a lacrosse field strikes me as silly.

The risk of transmission outdoors is minimal (I believe)…at the very least, it’s much safer. I guess someone can sneeze or cough in a huddle or spray droplets in your faces during the course of the game which could infect you if you are a bench buddy.

I’m talking walking to field and parents spread out on track sideline. It’s only a very few. But struck me as deleterious “bubble boy” behavior. Obviously there could be some unknown circumstance but it was both too many to be idiosyncratic yet too few to be a trend

Wife was told by a student earlier in semester he wasn’t vaccinate…. Today student emailed wife and told her he has COVID. It’s a small class in relatively close quarters….she wondered if the guy’s girlfriend was positive as she wasn’t in class…..later, got an email. She has COVID too. Wife will get tested tomorrow. As a teacher, she should put her life on the line even if students don’t want to protect her…..

Thought colleges were requiring it

Nope. Some do, some don’t.

Here's a list - https://universitybusiness.com/state-by ... -vaccines/

Until I saw this list I didn't realize there were some - no, many - colleges that were requiring employee vaccination but not student vaccination. Sorry, TLD, I guess only student health deserves protection, and students at those schools must only be able to get Covid from faculty and staff.

Edit to add: Update - Tennessee college staff OR student? No safety for any of you! https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/school- ... 56447.html

Good luck...it's indeed ridiculous.

Should be fine. She has an 84 year old mother that we often see. Would be unfortunate if COVID-19 did her in but as folks here like to say, everyone going to die from something.

Good luck!

People are such idiots and don't think about the transmission risk to the elderly or youngest amongst us; just themselves.

How fast will this be critiqued and/or “oh you think deaths are funny”

Not sure. Don’t care. Tired of stupidity.

Just now? I got tired of idiocy a while ago. Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury to avoid playing ball with it in my life to some degree.

What is your inference or conclusion from the data?

That it’s compelling…doesn’t that clearly explain his position?

I actually don’t get the chart because when I look at the data it looks worse for unvaxxed. Or is the point to look at a chart and not the data?

DiBlasio is still a clown

Apparently per news reports on TV though I don’t see it in print yet that he’s implementing a private sector vaxx mandate. Gotta get his before he’s tossed out of Gracie for a NJ resident so he can run for Gov. So silly.

It would be hilarious if they got Cuomo out and he somehow won for gov. Thank god I sold my moms house.

What is your inference or conclusion from the data?

Just saw a report this morning, that a very early look at limited data on Omicron is that it appears to be more transmissible than Delta but significantly less virulent. If this turns out to be true, then the latest mutations may be taking it more towards flu or even common cold which would be truly fantastic news especially if it were to supplant Delta.

Still early, but I recall a medical expert saying recently that it is not in the virus' interest to kill its host.

Possibly good news, no doubt.

Now how about those therapeutics? Santa going to bring them?

Might be why we saw a steep drop in the 7-day death avg in Florida beginning just after Ron made monoclonal available to damned near anyone in late August: https://www.flgov.com/2021/08/12/govern ... y-centers/

I was hoping we would catch a break. I heard the mutations look like a common cold.
