Lord Liaden Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Is the parking for major college football stadiums really that limited? I'm no afficionado of the sport, but those stadiums look huge, and they're often pretty full. Parking logistics have to have been taken into account.

I'm no afficionado of the sport, but those stadiums look huge, and they're often pretty full. Parking logistics have to have been taken into account. It's usually much smaller than what you'd see at a professional venue. First off a sizable portion of the gate lives on campus so that's within walking distance. And if you're a guest of a student, you probably don't park at the stadium. You park near their dorm in guest parking and walk from somewhere on campus also. Since for vaccination sites you want the parking capable of a steady flow with minimal walking involved, college campus locations are less than ideal. Plus many of these on campus stadiums are in use while classes are being held. The football stadium is used by men's and women's track in many cases. PE classes and intermural sports are also held there. The stadiums on many campuses are in use for most of the day. Whereas the NFL stadiums are just empty unless some exhibition or concert is scheduled and most of those are cancelled this past year.

archer Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 South Africa has suspended plans to inoculate its front-line health care workers with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine after a small clinical trial suggested that it isn’t effective in preventing mild to moderate illness from the variant dominant in the country. South Africa received its first 1 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine last week and was expected to begin giving jabs to health care workers in mid-February. The disappointing early results indicate that an inoculation drive using the AstraZeneca vaccine may not be useful. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/07/south-africa-astrazeneca-466996 Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 The US 7 day average for new cases has dropped almost 60% from the early January peak; it's now at the lowest level since early November. Active cases are dropping very slowly, but it's been 10 days or so now that they are declining. Not there yet...but looking better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 So I had an in-person Cincy VA medical appt today and they were doing 70 and over Covid vaccinations. Due to the massive amount of snow that got dumped on SW Ohio last night, they were several no-shows. As they now had extra vaccines leftover for the day, someone stopped me as I was going out and asked if I wanted vaccinated. Long story short, I got my first dose of Moderna vaccine today and my return appt. is March 10th. To quote the famous philosopher Ice Cube, "I guess it was a good day." archer, Dr.Device, Pattern Ghost and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Lady P is on the PTSA for my daughter's school. She got a call from them a couple of days ago saying that the school's allotment of the Moderna vaccine is sufficient that she can get vaccinated if she wants to. She jumped on the opportunity, of course. I'm going in for my second dose tomorrow. tkdguy, Starlord and Matt the Bruins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 The daily death toll in the US might finally have started to drop. Still up around a 9/11 per day though, and we'll probably reach half a million next weekend. It's incredible how there can be that many dead and we just don't see it in the news.

Focus on the impeachment proceedings aside, I'd put it down to message discipline from the current administration (and the acknowledgement there's an actual problem). Previous administration kept insisting "nothing to see here, go about your business/life as normal" and the media kept pointing at the rising death toll. Current administration talks about vaccination plans and the media focuses on the possibility there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

BoloOfEarth Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Other than a mild pain in my arm (non-dominant arm, TYVM), I had no side effects from the first shot. (Pfizer). I got my second shot (also Pfizer) yesterday afternoon. Woke up this morning with a mildly sore arm, minor headache, and a slightly upset stomach. This afternoon (about 24 hours post-shot), I started to feel a bit worse, like a mild case of the flu. Was running a 100F temp, took some ibuprofen. Three hours later, I'm about where I was this morning. We'll see what tonight brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yet another COVID variant, this time in Southern California. This one is called CAL.20C and includes the L452R spike mutation that has been shown to confer resistance to some coronavirus antibodies.
