Now I don't mean to direct this at you in particular, but anti-maskers use this tactic all the time and it's just dumb. Nobody is saying heart disease is awesome, but the main difference is, I can't catch heart disease from your fatass just by standing next to you while we're in line for space mountain. If you want to keep being not-slim by shoveling pizza after pizza into your face, that doesn't affect me one bit, and there's also not much I can do to help you avoid killing yourself and others. But if you can't be bothered to either wear a mask or get vaccinated to help stop yourself and others from dying because you're too tough to be "scared of this thing", then you're basically a miserable, inconsiderate piece of garbage.

The first wave back in the spring is being absolutely dwarfed here by the second wave...

Due to lack of testing, I don't look at cases to compare where we are at now vs at the peak last spring.  Instead I use deaths.  Unfortunately:

Daily reminder that dems are the scum of the earth:

Typically if someone has a heart problem and needs to go to the hospital, all the hospital's beds aren't filled with heart disease victims leaving said person to die at home. 

It’s ok guys, if I was as wide as I am tall I’d be scared too.  I’m not judging.

Got negative test result on 20th.  3days later starting getting symptoms.

Fever, chills. next day severe soar throat, then heavy coughing.  Kept things under control with OTC meds.  Thought about calling doc day before Thanksgiving, but throat cleared up and fever broke. Coughing continued thru weekend so had a videoconference with doc Monday.   Said it sounded like Covid but didn’t order test.  Put me on zpak and prednisone to help get rid of coughing.  Went thru Walgreens to get tested.  Just got result positive.   Brother is fine.  Not sure where I picked it up at.  Looks like wife now has it.  Her symptoms are much milder then mine, but asked doc if he’ll prescribe same for her.  Another videoconferencing today. Script really knocked out coughing for me.

Get well man

It is a disingenuous headline. They cut the 2020 target in half - basically 2 weeks. Sticking with 1 billion in 2021.

Interesting question.  If vaccine protects you, how would you be a spreader ?  Go into contaminated area and somehow spread it to others ?

Which looks like will carry over into early 21. Doesn't help much if they catch up to their target on the back half of 21, I want to get this needle asap.

It most likely provides sterilizing immunity which prevents an inoculated person from infecting anyone else but what Bourla is saying here is that he doesn't know that for sure because the trial wasn't designed to determine that. Specifically, their criteria for confirmed infections involved multiple positive PCR tests accompanied by at least one symptom. They had no way of determining whether any of those patients who were potentially infected but asymptomatic could still build up enough viral load, and then shed it to infect others. With efficacy as high as it was, and all incidents of severe disease being observed only in the placebo arm, I wouldn't worry too much about this for now.

Oh I know that Pfizer didn’t take money.  But I thought they had all been working to make the vaccine in conjunction with the testing so that it was all ready when given the green light.  That was the process that trump supposedly pushed saying it’s never been done like that until he said to do it.  Which, if it didn’t happen, then it’s just another trump lie.  I’m not surprised

My wife's hospital in Bucks is now over 100 covid patients. They were at 2 a few months ago.

So now Pfizer, BioNTech saying they have already made most of this year's doses...at the reduced 50mm number.

Pfizer, BioNTech Already Made Most of This Year’s Vaccine Doses

 

By Naomi Kresg

(Bloomberg) -- 

BioNTech SE said it’s on track to produce 50 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine with partner Pfizer Inc. this year, easing concerns that they might miss production targets.

As of Friday, the companies had made the majority of the promised supply for this year, BioNTech said in a statement to Bloomberg. For next year, they’re looking for ways to increase production capacity beyond a promised 1.3 billion doses.

The companies’ output is under close scrutiny after Pfizer and BioNTech won the Western world’s first marketing approval for a Covid vaccine with sign-off from the U.K this week. The U.S. and Europe may follow later this month.

The partners had originally hoped to produce as many as 100 million doses this year, a target they cut in half on Nov. 9 after changes in regulatory and approval timelines, among other factors, BioNTech said. A Wall Street Journal report Thursday on the adjustment prompted concerns about whether the companies would be able to meet their goals.

"We’re ramping up production extremely quickly,” Chief Commercial Officer Sean Marett told Bloomberg Television this week.

There’s a long line of countries waiting. The partners have signed supply deals for more than 570 million doses of vaccine and are in talks with more than two dozen countries, Marett said in an interview.

BioNTech Chief Commercial Officer Sean Marett says production of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine is ramping up "extremely quickly” as he discusses distribution in the U.K., and pricing for the vaccine. He speaks on "Bloomberg Markets: European Close.”

The swift pace of development for the vaccine has posed manufacturing and logistics challenges, with the companies still working on the research needed to show at what temperatures the shots can be stored and shipped. For now, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine requires ultra-low storage temperatures and can be kept in a refrigerator for just five days -- a timeline the companies hope to extend.

On Thursday, U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said an initial batch of 800,000 doses will be administered starting next week, and that it was "not unreasonable” to expect 5 million by year-end. The country has pre-ordered 40 million doses, most of which will be delivered in 2021.

Meanwhile, Moderna Inc., which is also seeking emergency clearance for a messenger RNA-based vaccine, said it would have between 100 million and 125 million doses available globally in the first quarter of next year.
