A reminder for the rules of the thread and general Covid-19 talk

This forum is not limited to hockey-related talk.

You may critique the response of government but don't make it political.
Posts attributing motives because it involves this or that political party/politician/ideology will not be tolerated.

Examples:
Allowed: "Trump doesn't know what he's doing, the response was too little too late"
Not Allowed: "The only reason the response was so slow was to keep the stock prices high so he can get reelected"

Allowed: "The media is over-reporting this and it's going to make things worse"
Not Allowed: "The liberal media is over-reporting this because they're trying to bring down Trump"


Miracle cures, home remedies, and medical advice should not be posted.

Be careful what you link to, treat it like the trade forum we don't want to spread bad information.

How you're preparing, how this is affecting your community, news and information are the types of discussion this forum is for.

If you want to talk about the protests in regards to Covid-19, be my guest. Please try not to diverge the thread into politics.

And none of this "civil war" bullshit

The average is 17 which is down slightly from FRiday's 17.85

 

Checking in from Las Vegas.

We had 78 new cases today with under 5% positivity.

Three months ago, we we averaging 2500 cases a day with 20% positivity. We only have a population of about 2.5 million.

I’m pretty sure at this point between asymptomatic infections, vaccinations, and people recovered, we’re nearing herd immunity here.

 

Germany going back into lockdown.

Germany extends virus lockdown till mid-April as cases rise

 

Not surprised

Covid Malaise is real.

We will still have one more spike here

 

The issue with Germany and most of the EU is vaccine supply. They were bogged down in government red tape, as far as which shot they were going to go with and so on and so forth, while everyone else, like Britain, chose Astra Zeneca and moved forward. The EU chose a mix of the Chinese developed vaccine, Russian Vaccine and I think Johnson and Johnson. The EU may have a spike, but I think based upon our infection plus currently vaccinated numbers we are getting close to herd immunity.

 

1.6% positives today
Hosp keeps dropping
a very nice drop in ICU today from 50 yesterday

A slight rise in the avg today. It climbs to 20.0

 

Things have been pretty even up in NorCal. I wouldn't say we are at herd immunity yet, still need to get a lot of people vaccinated but heading in the right direction. I have some concerns about the idiots celebrating their freedom in Florida and Hawaii right now over Spring Break and what they'll be bringing back to their communities in different states but I try not to focus on it and just keep moving forward. Just waiting to get my wife vaccinated next.

 

L.A. County is on the cusp of orange tier reopening, but public health officials say it's too early to declare victory over COVID

 

I got shot 1 this morning.

 

I get #2 a week from today. Hopefully I don't grown an extra arm or eyeball, or even worse, mutate into a Leafs fan.

 

a fate worse than death..

my mom actually got pfizer #2 the other day, said she had a kind of strange pressure headache the next morning that lasted a couple hours then was fine

 

My mom and father-in-law both felt sick (headache & slight fever) the day after their 2nd shot (Moderna) but fine afterwards. Mother-in-law no such issues.
Why can't the side-effects ever be like an extra inch or two growth in a particular special place?!? Or maybe hair growing on your bald spots/head.

 

I got the Moderna and I am hoping for a third nipple

 

Definitely keep me posted -- I'll make sure my wife gets the same one as you

 

Over a 100 news cases today, the streak is over
1.25% positives today
A slightly climb is hosp today, but ICU is down from 35 yesterday
