February 20, 20214 yr Shades your best bet is to YOLO all your cash into SLV - margin the hell out of it if you can - and cash in the tendies to live out the rest of your short life in luxury. If you don't do that you're a sucker.
February 20, 20214 yr The end of this decade will be worse than now we will look back as these being the good old days compared to then!! someone mentioned fear of fascism, top that off with a pandemic with mutant variants killing everyone
February 20, 20214 yr 7 hours ago, we_gotta_believe said: And I'll also say something to the credit of those in charge of the vaccine rollout thus far, while the tendency to blame the previous administration for any issues was always present, I don't know that it's been as big of a disaster nationally as it was initially painted as. I know patience is difficult in times like these but it was never realistic to expect home runs in all our at bats when it came to distribution. So all things considered, I give the team in charge of it since November a C or C+. Could it have been better? Of course. Was it an unmitigated disaster? Not even close. It easily could've been much worse. Don't believe me? Refer to the botched roll out of approved test kits this time a year ago. No. When you have national and state emergencies there’s already a plan. Regardless of which party is in charge. Saw it coming. I realize it’s novel. We would have failed Trump or Biden. Keep your eye on the ball. I do appreciate your insight of course Always have. No one needs to take sides against a virus that’s killing people. I’m saddened after what history we’ve already been thru we’re no closer. Just more divisive. This country has planned for much worse. I’m Maybe I Just have the winter blues. We will get there. Hell of a ride. If I get sick a day before I can get vaccinated-well. You don’t want me posting about that.

February 20, 20214 yr Joe I can accept you are down. I’ve accepted things I don’t want to but I know I have to do it. It comes in waves for me. As an individual and my experience. A pandemic is a cherry on top. Time for these smart ones to get it done and put aside the political pressure and get it done. Then we’ll talk about forgiving loans. Jesus help us. Did I say get it done? I have no doubt.
February 20, 20214 yr 32 minutes ago, Joe Shades 73 said: Should I be like WE and pretend everything will be fine? It’s that being optimistic may be better for your health. I remember last March when things started to get shut down and some places were shutting schools down for the rest of the school year. At the time, it was likely very demoralizing to those in those areas (mainly because we were being told 14 days to slow the curve). Things are opening back up in waves, and things may have to close back down, but people thinking nothing will open back up again and we’re going to have to be locked down forever is just hurting yourself. Very few thought we’d have a real vaccine within a year, now millions of people have already had the vaccine shot with hundreds of millions more in the near future. While Covid may mutate, it’s also believable that scientists will figure out how to fight it to try to stay ahead of it.

I'll be last to be prioritized, so I'm frustrated too because it'll be months before my turn. Then I've gotta wait even longer before I can truly breathe easy because I've got an 8 and 4 year old that'll be waiting until winter or beyond. One strategy shift I do like from this administration was the decision to start shipping doses directly to pharmacies. Not sure why that wasn't part of the plan from day 1. In any case, our supply shortages should be resolved by late March, so then it's just a logistics puzzle from then on out. We're at 1.7M per day, but hopefully we'll be up to 2.5M or 3M by April. Cases are dropping too, and the summer will only help in that regard. We're getting there. Funny now that he's finally gone, we actually are starting to round the corner.

Since it seems that many of the vaccines are effective against some of the variants, yes, I’d say that it seems we may be ahead of it. People are constantly working on it and it’s an uphill battle, but I’d say we’re much further than we should be at this point.

None of those things are reality. Be great if if was true but will not happen. Deal with the terrible reality. I'm old enough to remember someone living in the fantasy land where Trump was gonna win the election, then when he lost the SCOTUS was gonna overturn the results, then when that didn't happen the focus shifted to the pandemic is never gonna end, Christmas is cancelled forever, the government is gonna use this to make us all slaves, etc.

Which is just one reason the pandemic will not end this year even though I don't think any kids have gotten really sick

It is almost guaranteed they tell everyone no gatherings for thanksgiving and christmas this year Jesus man, you should really probably just go ahead and kill yourself and get it over with. We’ll all be dead before this virus is beaten anyway.

February 21, 20214 yr I will try to be more positive, here is something good https://www.slashgear.com/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-seeks-fda-eua-tweak-after-unexpected-good-news-19660228/
February 21, 20214 yr https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/16/politics/biden-town-hall-coronavirus-second-grader/index.html Not sure if this was discussed here (I don’t recall seeing it). From the Townhall, Biden is saying that kids don’t get Covid often, and also that they aren’t likely to spread it to adults and that adults aren’t likely to spread it to kids. It seems like if this is true, more schools should be open.

February 21, 20214 yr All adults in the top 9 categories in the UK to receive their first dose by 15 April 2021. All adults in the UK to receive their first dose by end July 2021.

It seems like if this is true, more schools should be open. Yep. And if you add the 74 million people under the age of 18 in the U.S. to the rest of the people already vaccinated or those who have already been infected, it adds up to close to 165 million people in the U.S. that have at least some form of resistance to the virus. Like I stated in my earlier post, we should be almost out of this much sooner than a lot of folks think. By the end of April, the baseline of new infections should be low enough for every state to re-open completely, imo. Again, this is 100% my opinion and taken from personal statistical analysis.
February 21, 20214 yr Kids can get infected and transmit it to adults. The reason this doesn't happen as often is thought to be for a few reasons: A ) They are less symptomatic on average, and thus potentially aren't as infectious or for as long of a period of time. B) They don't shed nearly as many viral particles when speaking compared to an adult, and when they do, they're less likely to be inhaled by another adult due to the height at which their droplets were expelled at. Droplet travel distance is far less too. C) They are the most compliant group when it comes to mask wearing outside of the medical profession. As for the comments that adults aren't as likely to spread it to kids, I'm not sure where Sleepy Joe is getting that from. I don't think there's nearly as much evidence to support that claim.
February 21, 20214 yr To be clear, I'm using "kids" in reference to 5-12 year olds. Once you get to teens, the differences between them and adults quickly fade away.
February 21, 20214 yr Suck it Canada USA now vaccinating more people against COVID-19 in one day than Canada has in total https://www.cp24.com/news/usa-now-vaccinating-more-people-against-covid-19-in-one-day-than-canada-has-in-total-1.5317891
