  1. Someone responded to that data on another forum I follow Well, there's a few things. -That 95% figure seems like it was pulled out of someone's butt. I can't find that anywhere. I have heard it's a majority and the last number I heard is 60/40, which is normal in such a highly vaccinated sample. -Speaking of highly vaccinated sample, let's address that. Israel is ridiculously young. Almost 30% of Israelis are under 15. That ~60% vaxxed figure is the whole population, including kids who mostly can't get it. The adult population is at somewhere between 85 and 90%. That sets the table for the rule of shares -- the more people vaccinated, the higher percentage of cases are breakthrough, even if the raw total doesn't change. -Israel still only has 492 hospitalizations. New York State, with a similar population, has 1,121 despite their surge starting later, as our adult population is only 69% (nice) full vaxxed. That shows you right there that vaccines are making a significant difference. -Israel hospitalizes more readily than we do. That differs across cultures. Of the 492 hospitalizations, only about 1 in 10 are intensive care. Article below about how many of their hospitalized patients are moderate cases and how the vaccines are helping to keep them moderate. Jeremy Lin, who used to play for the Knicks and now plays in China, was hospitalized yesterday in Shanghai for covid. He's absolutely fine and posting updates on social media -- just a mild fever. It's just normal to go to the hospital there. In the US, you're practically on death's door before you go because unlike in most of the developed world, it costs money here. Vaccinated Americans with moderate illness are going to say "hey, I'm vaccinated, so I'll take my chances over paying $131,000 for a hospital stay." Israel has more serious COVID cases, but patients have milder illness, doctors say
  2. I am not sure, has to be a new strain if this data is correct.
  3. I believe the new strain is 1000 times more contagious than the original one. The northern states will get another wave this fall/winter.
  4. checked the comments and both he and his wife didn't receive vaccine. Still in denial and will get in a few more years after more research.
  5. I have a friend in Tampa who is 38 and has covid right now. This is part of his post on Facebook “ been stuck in the house for a week now, barely eating, trying to keep the fevers down, crazy crazy pain.This is pretty much the worst I've ever felt in my life. It's hard to keep a single thought in my cloudy head. Promise I'll catch up soon. Stay safe guys! healthy and not overweight but unvaxxed.
  6. I got the vaccine so I most likely have antibodies from that?

A little bit scary tbh i still blame covid for my panic attack episode in January. I think further down the road we will really see how much of an issue “brain fog” truly is
  8. Josh Allen signed another 6 years, so 8 years total. Averages out to be 43 mil per year but next 2 years are cheap.
  9. Yeah I sued an LLC since that was in the contract. The judge dismissed the lawsuit against each of them individually. I think he is going to dissolve the business and create a new one. A lot easier to collect funds on an individual as you can put leans against his income/taxes.
  10. I had asthma until I was 16 and then it went away on its own.
  11. So I'm starting to plan my Alaska trip for next year so I can rent a car for under $350 a day. Targeting June. Check out this place https://www.nps.gov/kefj/index.htm
  12. I expect to see some glaciers when I go to glacier NP but most are gone, only 26 remain and some cannot be considered glaciers any longer. Either way I'll be seeing snow before ya'll this year. @TugHillMatt https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/nature/glaciersoverview.htm At the end of the Little Ice Age around 1850, there were about 80 glaciers in what would eventually become Glacier National Park. In 2015, the last year with satellite imagery available, there were 26 named glaciers that met the size criteria of 0.1 km², nine fewer than in 1966. Of the 26 remaining in 2015, some may now already be too small to be considered glaciers. In addition to the roughly two dozen named glaciers that are monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey, the park also hosts several unnamed glaciers, about a dozen rock glaciers, and many snow fields.
  13. If Cuomo wasn't under investigation you can almost guarantee that he would have a statewide mask mandate by now. He has bigger things to worry about.
  14. This is great. My entire main friends group are so anti vax its insane. One of them works in the hospital in Ortho as a Physicians assistant and his mom is a RN and also anti vax. Feelsbadman.
  15. You can check glacier national park webcams. You can see how bad the smoke is in some spots. https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm I hope its clearer in 3 weeks, but never know. This is still worth it imo.
  16. That's my kind of map. I leave for out west in 13 days so want to enjoy the last little bit of summer. Hopefully we get a warm September, its been pretty standard to get those last few years. Been a long time since below normal Sep.
  17. You're too good at fantasy, no invites. Sending you link now.
