    Why should people at relatively lower risk of severe covid infection i.e. age < 45 without comorbidities get vaccinated?

    1. The benefits of preventing covid infection with vaccination far outweigh the risks associated with vaccination. There is no ambiguity of you review the clinical trials and safety data from now months of millions getting vaccinated. 

    2. The vaccines block chains of transmission, see the following analysis of powerful data from the Moderna vaccine trial. 

     

     

    Plus, since when were deaths and hospitalizations the only “relevant” markers of health? I’m 28 and healthy and it was a no brainer to get the vaccine (medical student, wasn’t jumping the line!). Will gladly take 95% reduction to my chances of getting the worst flu-like illness of my life or having long-term reductions in exercise capacity or breathing issues. Even if I were to get it and remain asymptomatic, still don’t want to unwittingly expose people around me or have to isolate from my daily life for 10 days.

    And like you said, risk of adverse effects is so low, I almost certainly had a higher chance of adverse effects from the Tylenol I took during the one afternoon of headache I had after the 2nd dose than from the shots themselves.

    Run after run, storm after storm proving it’s just not my winter. Really disheartening to waste a pattern like this, I feel like everyone has been a snow magnet besides us in central Illinois-Indiana. 

    Yeah, hopefully mother nature can share the love this week, Chicago->northward has had a lot of action lately so it's definitely your turn next!

  3. Such an interesting storm, some of those vids and pics look pretty intense. I'm up in the northeast corner of WI for this one, no wind or insane rates like you guys farther south but we've gotten 8" since noon. Excited to see how it looks tomorrow morning, gonna be real pretty with all the evergreens coated in snow

    Estimating near a foot from the storm here on the west side. This is my first winter in Chicago w/ a car and I have quickly become familiarized with dibs culture. Not a fan.

     

     

    agree on the dibs as a non-Chicago native, worst part is people continuing to claim their spot for way too long after the storm is over

    Made an estimated snow map for our event page. LOT CWA posters...Is this reasonably accurate? I can tweak it if there's anything glaring.

    Yeah, measured a bit shy of 4" in Bridgeport neighborhood today so spot on for here too.
