(Which I plan to hose down wwith disinfectant etc) rather than staying at their house. They're upset by that, but it will be less cramped on top of everything else EDIT: What works best was telling them that I hadfolks here in the other part of the state 'at risk' I should be clear.. my folks are actually PRO mask .. IJust think Christmas if the final line for them Update- My mom and dad actually called ... they've thought about it, and talked to me.. and in a moment that I'm oddly proud of, are okay with me not coming over to their part of the state for Christmas. It'll wait till summer or whenver we can all get the shot. ******** ON ANOTHER SUBJECT************* Honestly, #$#$# like this makes me totally understand angry French peasants https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/rich-wealthy-coronavirus-vaccine-covid-americans-california-b1776549.html TrickstaPriest, Ranxerox and Lord Liaden 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I'm pretty sure our resident Tribbles aren't in the London area, but given the hypercontagious covid mutation that has evolved there, I hope he and his mum will continue to take the necessary precautions until they get vaccinated.

tkdguy Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 This story confused and angered me when I first heard it Stanford University excluded frontline workers from receiving vaccine Who made this decision and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Without actually having read the story, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess "Rich people" and "Money", respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we had something like a national policy and national guidelines rather than throwing the vaccine out there and letting people come up with their own plans for distributing it fairly....

unclevlad Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Besides, if one looks at the essential concepts defining an "essential worker" and a "politician"...the latter set is the antithesis of the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting a good example. That's always been written into the planning for COVID vaccinations. Even back during the first polio vaccinations, people like the Queen of England and Elvis had their vaccinations publicized in order to convince the public that getting the vaccination is safe.

Pattern Ghost Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 1 hour ago, tkdguy said: Who made this decision and why? Probably simple human error. Most doctors aren't employees of the hospital, they have privileges to practice at the hospital. The list was likely generated off the employee roster and someone forgot to include the roster for the doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragitsu Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Call me crazy, but...I'm pretty sure a nationalized (i.e., universal) healthcare system would help eliminate some of the logistical burden associated with efficiently distributing a vaccine.

I say old chap ! Frightfully spiffing don't you know ? If you are aware where that jolly ship the Mayflower sailed from, that is where the Tribble is now resident. My part of the country is in Tier 2. One cousin is in Tier 4 now and has the virus but is otherwise ok. I mentioned either in this thread or elsewhere that they had it and that was before the new restrictions kicked in. I'm fine and mum is fine. And thanks for anyone who was keeping us in their thoughts/prayers. TrickstaPriest and Old Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 A scientist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle did some data analysis: there's a correlation between new case numbers and new deaths...with a 22 day lag. NYT gave a link to a Twitter feed outlining it:https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1326404864843390976?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20201221&instance_id=25259&nl=the-morning®i_id=101745266&s=20&segment_id=47474&te=1&user_id=618f95a4931087ea799b0e9f4a9d3344 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
