We had two brothers on the team who were close contacts with a barber and they tested negative and sat out 10 days. Now it's just karate for the winter. I'll be in hibernation. Kids have been in school full time for a month and no shutdowns yet either. We'll see.

A bit curious on the timing, but I imagine they'll be submitting for EUA very soon. Just need to get through the winter and we'll be in much better shape in the spring!

Must be almost a relief to have it over and done with even though I'm sure it's quite enjoyable. Our kids haven't done a whole lot of stuff outside of piano for the oldest. It's actually been nice not running around all over the place for swimming lessons and baseball and dance and you name it.

Think it was on 60 minutes last night that I watched. Military is involved with the logistics and safeguarding of the vaccine. Only cost the taxpayers $18-27 billion to implement their plan.

It's a fricken grind. 2 hour practices 4 nights a week in August then down to 2 practices and a game on the weekend. I was logging about 8-10 hours a week on football for 5-7 year olds. Both my kids are in karate which is twice a week plus my daughter is on the performance team which is at least another night a week and she's doing her black belt review which is another night a week. I Fing very relieved football is over. I'll be hanging up the coaching hat until softball and baseball in the spring.
November 9, 20205 yr Well they're gonna give any vaccine to the military guinea pigs first so I'll let you all know if I grown another arm. Or lose one.

Any hiccups in the process could mean massive amounts of doses spoil and must be thrown out. Very difficult to manage logistically. 11 minutes ago, Bear Grylls said: It not a globe, it a dinosaur

Yet another service for your country for which we are indebted to you. Side effects seem consistent among the mRNA candidates, including fever, chills, and a headache. Almost certainly more pronounced than any flu vaccine you've had before, but nothing that lasts longer than a few hours, or a day, at the most. Safety profile looks promising from what they've said so far. I considered signing up for this actual trial from Pfizer when they sent out info at work about it, but I didn't want to risk having to follow through on 2 years of the study if I ended up in the control arm which meant I'd be stuck without being able to get an actual vaccine until the study completed.

I think they said it has to be -80 degrees celsius or something crazy like that. Then you have to figure out what facilities can accommodate the vaccine and population centers for distribution, etc...It's no easy task.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it but I've literally had no down time the last 3 plus months. I need a mental break.

You and medical professionals on the frontline. They polled Drs and nurses. 60% of doctors said they'd get it right away to 40% of nurses. I mean obviously there's a lot of concern over new vaccines from people and rightfully so. Vaccine process usually takes years and years, this is probably gonna be just over a year for development. I'm a bit apprehensive about it.

November 9, 20205 yr So my boss is at home with a fever and isn't going to get tested and coming back into work tomorrow..... Guess I won't be seeing my mom for a couple of weeks. These people just don't get it.

It's annoying when people come to work sick with anything communicable. It's so inconsiderate.
November 9, 20205 yr Good news on the BioNTech trial data, they are saying current estimates are leading them to believe vaccine induced immunity should last for at least a year based on the antibody and T-cell levels observed. Say what you will about the election, but to me, this is far better news! F'ing awesome and insanely phenomenal work by the biotech community. And a first of its kind genetic vaccine no less! The speed and progress here is revolutionary. So F'ing pumped right now.
