My dad (who would have been among the last group) volunteered at a vaccination site and they gave him the vaccine the same day at the end of the shift. Probably depends on your location.

Is the pandemic over??

You're part of the problem

Almost everyone is part of the problem to an extent. I know I'm not perfect, but I still give more of a s*** than most of the population.

because no one who eats at a restaurant really cares

While I don't generally eat at indoor restaurants, I do go to coffee shops that are less crowded to get work done and will sometimes eat outdoors at places with patios (I've been fully vaccinated for about a month now). I always feel like I'm the only one there who actually wears a mask.

at restaurants/bars/coffee shops etc? Like I get it, you have to take it off to eat/drink, but what about the whole time you're sitting and not eating/drinking? Why is it not a rule that people are only allowed to take their mask off when taking a bite/sip and then immediately have to put it back on? Wouldn't be that hard. People acting like being seated at the table automatically makes them immune from covid.

Because I'm allowed to have dating preferences

That choice between Dijkstra and Roche dying is f***ing hard. I really wanted to help the north and f*** over Nilfgaard, and planned to let Dijkstra rule, but in the moment I just couldn't let him kill Roche and friends. It didn't feel right and I feel like Geralt would never abandon Roche in that situation. Now I'm wondering if I should go back to my previous save file and let it play out the other way. Ughhhh

Billionaires were gambling that GameStop stock was going to go down.

people on Reddit decided to team up and spend all their money buying game stop stock which made it go up This caused the billionaires who gambled on it to go down to lose a fuck ton of money.

Thats pretty much it.

Lmao. Thanks.

False alarm?

I think it will go off relatively peacefully, with maybe a few minor incidents. Hoping our country will be prepared to handle it this time.

In the mainstream yeah, but that doesn't mean the genre is dead or that good rock music isn't being made in the underground you just have to go look for it.

Somebody showed me a band not too long ago and I swear they sounded just like Led Zeppelin, and they are pretty current/new. I sadly can't remember their name at the moment.

Let's pump the breaks on "no side effects"

No one's claiming no side effects. But so far, there's no reason to think there's any worse side effects than other common vaccines. Sure, it's possible there's long-term side effects, but unlikely. You're much more likely to get long-term effects from covid.

Do you as a doctor trust this particular version of the vaccine in it's current state

Yes. I had a bit of healthy skepticism at first, but after looking at the data and hearing from respected doctors at my facility who know a lot about these things, I see no reason not to trust it. People are concerned that it was developed too quickly, but forget that most of the work was already done with the SARS/MERS vaccine development several years ago. And major side effects seem to be very rare, I'm much more worried about getting covid than I am about vaccine side effects.

still wear a mask? do you require a second shot?

Yes, it's a two-shot series so we get a second shot 3 weeks after the first. And we are still wearing masks, immunity takes a few weeks to kick in and you don't get the full protection until after the second shot. But I imagine we'll still be wearing masks until most of the general population gets vaccinated.

why is everyone getting hooked on the sore arm thing, that's normal for vaccines if you're not working your arm out afterwards.

Glad you didn't get any serious shit or headaches though TC.

Yeah, the arm soreness wasn't really any different than a typical flu shot for me.

Did they give you an instructions?

Instructions for what? lol

Why did you get it? Are you a health-care worker?

Yes

Arm was pretty sore the next day. But neither me nor any of my coworkers had any major side effects.

Sublime with Rome

I'm a doctor, getting it next week. I know several people who have gotten it already.

I mean at least it looks like she has a good body

#Stopthefrog

As a doctor, nothing I've seen about the side effects really scares me. Anaphylaxis/severe allergic reactions can happen with the flu vaccine too. It's a very minimal risk and places that administer the vaccines should (hopefully) have Epipens available just in case.

As for Bell's Palsy, it's generally temporary (ie a few weeks) and won't kill you.

I see it going down at the end.

You must have clicked on the 3-day moving average (which is easy to do by accident). Click on the 7-day one, it's going up.

We are.

Scroll down to the "daily new cases" graph and click on "7-day moving average." You can see that cases started to decline a bit, but then started going up again a few days after Thanksgiving.

tired of the endless shitty takes by space accounts on this board. Is it all just one person, or a clique, or what phylath

What?

Even left-wing, pro-vaccine people seem to be hesistant about getting the vaccine. Don't see how we get to the 60-70% of the population needed for herd immunity anytime soon if this sentiment prevails.

We should be looking at it this way: by getting the vaccine, you may be preventing deaths. Yeah, part of me is anxious too about how quickly the vaccine is being rolled out (especially since I'm a front-line healthcare worker and will be one of the first to be offered it), but I also feel like I need to do my part to end the pandemic.

I kinda doubt it. We need about 75% of the population to get vaccinated for that to happen. I feel like most Republicans won't get it (not concerned about COVID to begin with), and even a lot of democrats (vaccine rolled out too quick). Which is unfortunate. I'll probably be getting it within the next month or so, hopefully more people will do their part to end the pandemic.

I wouldn't be surprised either way

Hey Patrick, what am I?

Might be the best episode of the series IMO. The season seemed kinda slow compared to season 1 but the last couple episodes made up for it.

Teh_Dr_Phil posted...

Sure hope one of the seven die before the season is over otherwise its just going to get boring.

Maybe Black Noir? Not clear if that killed him or not.

Also did any named characters die in that ending scene?

Got my flu shot, y'all should too. Who knows what happens if you get COVID and the flu at the same time.

The party's values are literally opposite the core values of Christianity (loving thy neighbor, providing for the weak/poor, etc). I have nothing against Christianity in itself, but it seems like so many people twist it or cherry pick things like gay marriage to fit their own values. Like how can you call yourself a good Christian and simultaneously want to kick out all the illegals?

looooooool savage

Or maybe educated people are just smart enough to not be Republican?

Anyone else find it kind of hard to hate Stromfront despite how terrible of a person she is? She has this witty charm that I'm gonna miss when they kill her off (which I feel like might happen by the end of this season).

Turn off the Fox News

Why are people so upset about the one episode a week thing? Have we become that entitled? Personally I think it's fun being able to savor it longer and have something to look forward to each week.

CloneTheHero posted...

a lot of people thought summer would slow it down... nope. you really gotta wonder if it ever goes away. a vaccine would be the miracle cure right now and its probably years away. this is the new norm get used to it folks

What makes you say that? Even the experts are saying a vaccine is likely to be approved by the end of the year. Positive results in the early trials for a few of the candidates. But it will probably take another several months after one is approved for it to be avaiable to the general public.
