Washington is firmly in the top half of states for how many people are fully vaccinated and for its rate of new vaccinations. More than half of adults in the state have had at least one dose, and in the Seattle metro area that number rises to about 70%.

South Korea's daily new coronavirus cases rose back above 600 on Wednesday, with health authorities remaining on alert over a potential spike amid spreading variant cases.

The country reported 635 more COVID-19 cases, including 613 local infections, raising the total caseload to 128,918, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said.

Wednesday's figure jumped from 511 cases Tuesday, 463 Monday and 564 Sunday though it is lower than the 701 Saturday. The daily caseload usually spikes after weekends as more people get tested.

Well then - we know J&J has been a joke anyway so I’m not surprised if they had breakthroughs.  But as it states they could have had other brands and the timing is unknown at this point.  

well if it is a joke we have a big problem because millions have gotten that one, That is what I am getting

Which vaccine did they get? Staff from Montefiore Medical Center administered the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine to players, staff and coaches at Yankee Stadium on April 7. However, it’s possible the Yankees’ confirmed positives weren’t vaccinated that day and that they received different brand shots.

Not surprised. A lot of athletes opted for the one-shot J&J vaccine over the two-shot regimen, so they could resume normal activities sooner.

With pressure to loosen restrictions, variants out of control and a possible vaccine in J&J that may not be that great we are headed for a fall and winter worse than the past one

Ontario and Alberta both say they are no longer using the AstraZeneca vaccine. No idea what's going to happen for those who need the second dose, but there's been talk of them getting a Pfizer or Moderna.

It's not a joke. There have been breakthrough cases with all the vaccines. It's a very good vaccine and 70%+ efficacy is amazing for a vaccine.

The clotting issues. It's been calculated at around 1 in 60,000 here, but they think it could be as low as 1 in 25,000. Still a rather small chance of getting one, but they're pulling the plug because of it and the fact that they have a bunch of Pfizer and Moderna supply flowing now.

Need to hand out more stimmys based on being vaccinated.  Like a week paid vacation with hookers and blow.

Only 7% of the population in SK have received at least one vaccine dose.

The surge in Washington is from those not vaccinated - i.e. younger people. They're being hospitalized because the UK variant is the most prevalent there now and it more severely impacts younger people than the original virus, but their survival rates are much higher. It will burn out and spur other youngsters to get vaccinated. Not all, but seeing a buddy hospitalized has a way of smacking sense into people.

By the same token, seeing a buddy contract the illness and then beat it in a few days with minimal symptoms (which is a result that's far, far more likely than hospitalization for young people) might convince them to skip the vaccine entirely. So it's kind of a mixed bag, you know?

But your buddy can infect others who are not as lucky

Oh certainly. That's why you have to hope that the most vulnerable among us are smart enough to volunteer to beta test the new experimental vaccine. The rest should probably just continue to be young and healthy because that all but guarantees barely being affected.

Yeah but did he stay the hell home and not spread it to others?

 

Have you changed your mind yet?

About 1 in 3 people being hospitalized for COVID now belong to the 18-49 age group, previously a rare occurrence.

This is likely due to a combination of factors, mainly the UK variant impacting younger people more severely and the lower percentage of vaccinations among this group.

Don't waste your time. 

Besides, he never leaves his mom's basement. Pretty low risk for the rest of humanity, CVON notwithstanding.

But if the virus is being passed around even if it just among younger people, variants can emerge that threaten everyone

Who? The hypothetical dude who didn't get the vaccine because he saw how easily his buddy beat it? Yeah, sure. Why not?

Have I changed my mind about getting the vaccine? No. I'm still operating on a ten year plan. @EaglesRocker97 is going to check in with me in May of 2031 to share his experiences. If he's completely fine, I'll get one then. 😉
