I have no idea if that makes sense. True, i think they're gonna try to give you the same brand if they have it. If they don't though, I imagine they'll still give you whatever they have, but I could be wrong. My point though, was that those of us on team blue should have a sense of urgency in getting that booster sooner rather than later if you're trying to ward off symptomatic infection. Team red can wait a bit knowing they should have somewhat better protection already.

August 31, 20214 yr as far as the politics of COVID go, I'm not sure what else you can expect Biden to do. if people want to be idiots and not do the things that will help at least minimize deaths and spread because their personal politics override common sense, short of ordering a vaccine mandate (which he couldn't even do legally) Biden simply doesn't have the authority to do more. he's pressed private companies to issue the mandates he cannot by proxy. vaccines are readily available. people are just fugging stupid.

I can’t believe Biden can’t convince people who think he eats babies to get vaccinated and wear a mask.

Don't forget how he is failing black and latinos who also refuse to get vaccinated, most likely due to misinformation spread by the libs are baby adrenaline suckers, crowd.

Where are Hawaii, Oregon, and Michigan in all this? Hawaii is apparently reaching ICU bed capacity, for instance.

Hawaii has 30 people per 100k in hospitals. Florida has about 80. And I already covered Israel here: Israel ... 5.7 / 100k in the hospital. yeah, they have high case rates, but they're not severe cases. VACCINES WORK.
September 1, 20214 yr Mask mandates are back in effect here on base starting this morning regardless of vaccination status. Everyone must wear a mask at all times while indoors (unless in your domicile), while in a vehicle with 2 or more people, and even outside if social distancing is not possible. 👎
September 1, 20214 yr Australia is now racing to ramp up vaccinations as they have come to the conclusion that they can slow but not contain the virus with lockdowns. New Zealand, despite it's harsh isolationist tactics is now at record case levels. Obviously delta has changed the game for both of these countries. Australia has now publicly recognized that their policy of "zero tolerance" cannot work and that they need to shift to a policy of control and without lockdowns.
September 1, 20214 yr Illinois church camp that didn't require vaccinations or masks linked to as many as 180 Covid cases, CDC says Campers slept in groups of about 100 in "large, shared boarding facilities" and were in frequent close contact with staff members and campers for indoor and outdoor activities. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/illinois-church-camp-didn-t-require-vaccines-or-masks-linked-n1278167 Impossible to see coming.

We've been somehow spared by delta thus far, though I'm not sure why since we lag in vaccination rates. My guess is we built up a lot of natural immunity from the alpha wave that tore through here back in April. Which makes me question how much of delta's immune escape is due to mutations vs just waning antibody levels. Starting to think it's more of the latter and less of the former.

Meanwhile we have many states here that employ an out of sight, out of mind philosophy.

September 1, 20214 yr It's time to start holding the unvaccinated responsible by denying them medical care or making them pay for the medical care they are getting. They are taking up beds from people who actually need them, like cancer patients.
September 1, 20214 yr Just now, Toastrel said: If the paste is tomato and made from San Marzano tomatoes, she does have the paste. I don't think it will help her husband's fever, but it is my choice. All I can ever find is paste from romas. I don't use much of it in any case, maybe a spoonful or two for a 12 qt pot.
September 1, 20214 yr Falsifying federal documents, and then getting caught because it looked like you used a crayon to do it, to own the libs.

San Marzano tomatoes grow in the volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius. Probably the least acidic tomatoes I have ever tried. Expensive, but worth it, IMHO.
