Yeah, which is normal, but it also seems to confirm that you could potentially spread the virus even if you've been vaccinated.

Potentially, but if exposure was mere days after the second dose, it's likely antibody levels weren't high enough yet to provide sterilizing immunity. In any case, we'll know more soon enough now that millions of people will also be getting their second dose in the weeks to come.

January 31, 20215 yr 33 minutes ago, Dave Moss said: "Protesters” shut down Dodger Stadium vaccination site. I saw the video. There were said to be 40 protesters. A guy got out of his car and asked the cops why they closed the gate. The gate was empty. And it looked like most of the protesters were on the side of the road. Not saying it's right because I think anti vaxxers are the dregs of society, but the police could have easily defused the situation and opened the gate back up.
February 1, 20215 yr Meanwhile the Trump plan did not seem to include keeping track of millions of doses of vaccine.
February 1, 20215 yr 39,742 reported COVID deaths since Biden was inaugurated. The American people deserve better

The current vaccine will take at least until the fall to get enough people vaccinated, then the process will have to start all over again for the new strain https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/28/health/covid-vaccine-novavax-south-africa.html Almost all the cases that scientists have analyzed there so far were caused by the variant, known as B.1.351. The data also showed that many trial participants were infected with the variant even after they had already had Covid.

I used to think people exaggerated how bad the homelessness /pan handling problem is in SF, until I went there. There's just nothing to prepare anyone for it who hasn't experienced it. It's worse than times square was in the 80s.

February 1, 20215 yr 18 minutes ago, Gannan said: You must be so much fun to be around at cocktail parties Joe is a bit dramatic, but it's true that we really haven't even turned the corner yet. Fareed Zakaria had a good take on the global situation yesterday. Quote But first here's my take. We can all now see the outlines of a post-pandemic world. With vaccinations ramping up in the U.S. and Britain, with Israel and the UAE racing toward herd immunity, it's easy to damage that a return to normalcy is just on the horizon. The only question seems to be, how long will it take? But we might be seeing a false dawn. Despite the amazing progress we've made with vaccines, the truth is that our current trajectory virtually guarantees that we will never really defeat the coronavirus. It will stay alive and keep mutating and surging across the globe. Years from now, countries could be facing new outbreaks that will force hard choices between new lockdowns or new waves of disease and death. The basic problem is in how the vaccine is being distributed around the world, not based on where there is the most need, but the most money. The richest countries have paid for hundreds of millions of doses, often far in excess of what they actually need. Canada, for example, has preordered enough to cover its 38 million residents five times over. Meanwhile, Nigeria's 200 million people have not received a single dose of the vaccine. Rich countries make up 16 percent of the world's population. Yet they have secured nearly 60 percent of the world's vaccine supply. In a recent "Foreign Affairs" article, Thomas Bollyky and Chad Bown pointed out Australia, Canada and Japan have less than 1 percent of the world's coronavirus cases, but they have locked up more doses of potential vaccines than all of Latin America and the Caribbean, a region with more than 17 percent of global coronavirus cases. Even though several African countries have been used for vaccine trials, almost no Sub-Saharan nation has received vaccines in any significant quantity, while more than 40 million doses have already been administered in rich countries. And Duke University researchers say many developing countries will not be fully vaccinated until 2024, which means that the virus will have years to spread and mutate. In their annual letter Bill and Melinda Gates note that low and middle-income countries will be able to vaccinate only one out of every five people over the next year. Like it or not, we're all in this together, they say. The problem goes well beyond public health. The International Chamber of Commerce has released a study showing that this lopsided vaccination of the world will cause global economic losses between $1.5 trillion and $9 trillion, of which half could be borne by the richest countries in the world. Looking at data from 35 industries and 65 countries, the study concluded that the world economy is so interconnected that having large areas still suffering from COVID-19 would produce bottlenecks, frictions and loss of demand that would affect everyone everywhere. Another study estimates that rich countries would get back $5 in economic output for every dollar they invest in vaccines for the developing world. Despite these realities, vaccine nationalism is actually rising as slow supplies and bureaucratic delays in rich countries have caused politicians to demand speedy action for their populations. European nations are threatening to restrict exports of vaccines and to take legal action against AstraZeneca because of suspicions that it has prioritized delivering vaccines to Britain over E.U. companies, which, by the way, the company denies. Dozens of countries have also restricted exports of medical supplies, which will seriously hamper efforts to eradicate COVID-19 worldwide. https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2021/01/31/exp-gps-0131-fareeds-take.cnn

February 2, 20215 yr Interesting read on vaccine stats on who is getting them. https://19thnews.org/2021/02/cdc-almost-two-thirds-of-people-with-a-covid-19-vaccine-are-women/ The stats seem to be in line with what you’d expect based on age, frontline workers, and whatnot.

It is a bit disconcerting. Already had it in my mind just get thru winter til your turn. Problem is, folks are registering for phase 1a and it seems to me it’s a cluster f! Technically I could be eligible but I know there’s many more who need it before me. My niece at 32 weeks pregnant had to go to the next county My sister needs one, has heard nothing.

Chester county requested 150k doses and only got like 32000, have only administered half of that. And only about 650 have gotten second doses. and Fauci goes on record saying we need to vaccinate kids and that they might only need one dose. We can’t even get the high risk fully vaccinated and he’s talking about practice...I mean, kids.
February 2, 20215 yr It will take years to get the World vaccinated and most likely by that time it will have to be done again and then again, plus more variants. I can't see most people putting up with masks and social distancing forever, there will be riots. Don't remember where I heard it but it is projected that 1 Billion will be vaccinated by the end of the year, sounds great if you don't know the World's population. Not turned the corner? we won't see the corner in our lifetimes. Travel like it was is gone, you will need negative tests, masks, temp checks to go anywhere.
