OT: Covid-19 (Part 28) Stop Making Sense (Mod warning on first post)

And his is why we need to be careful about vaccines....
Not a good news.

We had a greater example during Gerald Ford's presidency.

Like I have been saying since the beginning..... Biggest issue with vaccines is that you are giving that to healthy people. You can't risk making people more sick than if they received nothing. It has to be bulletproof safe. That won't happen before mid 2021 at the earliest (and I'm generous), giving other issues such as mass production etc.

If that virus was making people drop like flies then we could think less about safety. But it is not doing that.

Good to see it went below 200. Here's hoping it stays below 200.

No way that happens with schools having just opened. We’ll hit 400-500+ in not long... Give it about 2 weeks or so.

Vaccine makers saying they won't be rushed -- however, it remains to be seen if their actions comply with the pledge they've taken.

And now in the "it's so 2020" category, this:

Calm down. Phase 3 is mass vaccination. It is standard protocol to pause trials when an unexplained illness arises in a subject. Most immunologist said this happens regularly in mass trials and most of the time the illness is unrelated to the vaccination.

Yeah, I know all of that.....still not a good news since it was the most advanced vaccine out there.

It's no news really and shouldn't affect the timeline all that much. When you do human trials with tens of thousands of people, some are bound to get an illness by chance. This all needs to be investigated to make sure it is not caused by the vaccine.

And this is why the States is in the shape it's in. No surprise here, though.

So I took the Covid test last Friday and still didn’t get results. I call the number and it’s automated message saying that there is increased testing demand and not to leave voicemail unless 7 days have passed.

I really thought that testing and result time would have decreased by now?? It’s fine I am still quarantining myself but this is just really stressful.

There is a surge in demand due to schools reopening, still not sure how a week to get a result is considered acceptable for something like this.

F'ing eerie...

Gotta check with Per to see if the Rapture has begun in Oregon.

WE HAVE DOUBLED!

We last doubled on May 3rd at 32k cases. Today September 9th, we have hit over 64k cases. Took 4 months to double the number of cases.

Canada: Took us 4 months to double cases.
America: LOL, try 1 month! #winning

This clip is particularly daunting:

"This is what a climate crisis looks like. It’s time to stop the delays, it’s time to act!"

Unfortunately, it's too late. For the past 2 years, I have been saying in my best C3PO voice "we are doomed". We can't reverse it, even if we start today. Even if we were to stop all CO2 emissions tomorrow there is enough in the atmosphere to continue the process for decades.

Governments don't care, especially in the USA. "Economics"! Remember when Trump was saying, " the cure can't be worse than the cause". That also apply to global environment crisis, trust me about that. That is why you don't really see anything concrete done about it. And that won't change.

I'm sad for my children. I won't be there to see it but they will.

Weird but Laval is classified as yellow already. Are you feeling symptoms?

 

[RC51]

my biggest concern is Trump. Yes Canada has made deals with many US co. for the vaccine if and when. Don't you remember how Trump ordered the masks stopped at the border and returned to the US use leaving Canada OUT of masks. WHat do you thing Trump will do to STOP Canadians getting millions of vaccines en-route to the border with his USA FIRST and to HELL for the people of Canada.

Yup I know that’s why I don’t understand the long delay. I was told it’s because of the reopening of the schools. Could just be that the hospital where I did it happens to do a lot of tests? Not sure.

yes I’ve had symptoms for the last 3 weeks but thankfully been feeling much better the last 3-4 days. No cough, congestion or fever either. Could’ve been just a really bad strain of flu, we’ll see I guess.
