August 30, 20215 yr New study out of Qatar shows a drop in vaccine efficacy against symptomatic infection to 50% or less after 6 months. Yeah, I'm not waiting 8 months even if that's the recommendation.

August 30, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, we_gotta_believe said: Hardly surprising. Ha yup. According to this, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-rand-paul-tried-to-lead-an-eye-doctors-rebellion/2015/02/01/010994da-9cd6-11e4-a7ee-526210d665b4_story.html he only got 50-60 physicians to follow his lead and become board certified by his newly created NBO. It ultimately was dissolved in 2011. "The board certified only 50 or 60 doctors, by Paul’s count, and was never accepted by the medical establishment. It failed partly because of resistance from the old guard — but also because Paul hurt his own cause with shortcuts and oversights that made his big effort seem small. The other officers of his board, for instance, weren’t ophthalmologists. They were his wife and father-in-law. His Web site was mainly a mission statement, and his mission statement had grammatical errors. And, after Paul missed a filing deadline in 2000, the state legally dissolved his board. Although Paul kept it operating, it remained unrecognized by the state until he officially revived it in 2005.”

Wonder how many "anti-mask" and "anti-vax" activists have to die of COVID before people think "maybe we're on the wrong side of this?"
August 30, 20215 yr Had to go into a convenience store to get the receipt for the gas that I had pumped this weekend, and, of the roughly 20 people who came into the store while I was there, I was the only one, the only one, wearing a mask.

Yeah, that's not how masking is supposed to work. Did you have to expense the receipt? Or else I wouldn't have gone in to get it.
August 30, 20215 yr All the wankers who don't trust doctors about vaccines, are very trusting when admitted to the ER with COVID. You'd think they would want to hit up a video or facebook page.

One place wouldn't let you in or take your order if you did not wear a mask. The other place was like the gas station, I was the only one inside wearing a mask, neither worker nor customers, except for the one person working the register.

The grocery stores I went to last week were like 50-50. They still had plexiglass. One store that started taking it down put it back up. Half of the employees and half of the customers wore facemasks. Half of them didn't. And I live in an area that is like 70% vaccinated, fwiw.
August 30, 20215 yr This story is just ridiculous: An Ohio judge orders that a patient in the hospital must be treated with ivermectin. Only the judge has no license to administer medicine, a doctor that ordered it obviously does not have hospital rights... So how are they supposed to get this snake oil into the patient?

August 30, 20215 yr Delta makes plexiglass mostly irrelevant. Higher number of aerosols (or maybe lesser number needed to be rooted as an infection) means a lot of the old guidance is obsolete. The 6ft distancing, the 15 minutes rule, even some of the implausibility of outdoor spread is all out the window now.

My wife and I are both vaccinated, but I still feel weird about going out to eat anywhere that’s crowded. We were going to eat at this diner last week, but it looked packed, so we chickened out.

We were going to eat at this diner last week, but it looked packed, so we chickened out. We have two kids so we're still avoiding eating indoors at restaurants. If there's a long wait for patio seating, we just walk to the next restaurant and see what the wait is there. On a couple occasions, we've just done take out and then found somewhere to sit and eat it.
