OT - NO POLITICS Local Only COVID-19 Discussion 5

Science changes constantly.. I see nothing wrong with people being hesitant on getting a new vaccine. Some just want to wait awhile and see what transpires.

With over 400k people dead from COVID in the US alone, there is absolutely plenty wrong with people not wanting to get the vaccine.

Yea, there is 0 reason to not get the vaccine if it’s available.

Here in Virginia, we got the first confirmed case of the UK Strain.

Woke up this morning after getting vaccinated yesterday. Feel fine but holy crap my arm hurts. Hard to lift it all.

If you rotate your arm/shoulder in circles for a few minutes every hour it helps. It works best when you start doing it right after receiving the vaccine though.

Thank God for the Constitution to protect us from people like you.

Locally, ~5% of the 5-county regional population has received 1st dose, and <1% their second dose (although >10% of the 5%). First mutation case also noted elsewhere in this state (not here locally).

As re: pending inflation, the cure will be worse than the disease, as there is no proven means I'm aware of to extract the excess money out of the system without either devaluing the currency or causing inflation. Both of which will likely cost far, far more than $1400 per recipient (and to non-recipients) in the longer run. But that's OT to this thread.

Fed increases the interest rates or higher taxes, only way to take money out of circulation to try and stave off inflation. The low interest rates post 9/11 helped to inflate the bubble that popped in 2008, we already say the Fed try to raise rates last fall and rolled that back after the market took a hit, the current bubble that we have been inflating is likely the stock market itself and that is masking the current inflation that has likely been occurring over the past years, when the stock market corrects its gonna hurt but will be necessary, what we have to hope for is the pandemic recession and the new money created via stimulus and massive deficit that we don't see a massive inflation hit within the next couple years, or run into stagflation again like the 70s.
