By the end of the month, cases and hospitalizations will be fading. "Conservatives" don't even understand where "Communism" came from or its beliefs, which aren't quite what they think. DTA, educate yourself. These viruses mutate persistently to infect. The only "PR" is your consistent whining. The media doesn't even think its that big of deal. Vaccines to the elderly are important in the burnout effect. With the elderly not taking up hospital space, the economy goes back to normal operation. Got it yet? The elderly have clogged up the system. Vaccines help unclog it. Why are you so disrespectful? Geez I guess you really are angry. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe a bit naive here in Mchenry Co. but most everything seems open during this so called tier 2 mitigation of closings. Most of our restaurants are open for indoor dining and bars. Stores were busy over the holidays. Outside of the airlines and my kids not being in school can't really see this round of restrictions affecting my neighbors from going about their lives. They just have to wear a mask while shopping. In other words I'm not surprised at the surge in cases over this winter not only due to the seasonal component of covid but also a new more contagious strain might be floating around in the US for awhile.

Cary67 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 They just reported roughly 126,000 vaccinations have been given in IL so far. Been about two weeks worth of vaccine availability. Assuming we kept that rate of vaccinations it would take yrs to vaccinate enough people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was never going to be fast, because the Trump Administration delayed things. Got it yet? Come back March 1st and you will learn. You post on this thread far more than I do. I'm not allowed to? Bidens going to come to the rescue? Just an observation that a government roll out of vaccinations maybe a slow mess whether its under Trump or Biden. Point being if you don't get shots in people's arms by the summer or fall what the hell is the point. Also Fauci forced me to remind everyone incessantly vaccine roll out so far has been disappointing.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 For context on the hospitalization numbers, there are normally approximately 800,000 staffed bed in the U.S. So roughly 25% of all staffed beds in the U.S. have Covid Patients in them.

dan11295 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 While the UK Variant has now been found in multiple U.S. states, I haven't seen any evidence that it has become the dominant strain anywhere here yet. I doubt this was responsible for the initial fall surge in Colorado (or anywhere else in the U.S.), just like it wasn't responsible for the initial fall surge in the UK. If we see states which are in a decline in cases start spiking again, it would be a real red flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but its going to be a race especially if this new strain is as contagious as they say it is. We really need to ramp up our vaccination process but we are really lacking leadership at the federal level. States which are already cash strapped have pretty much been left on there own to vaccinate which is not a recipe for success against this virus. Until leadership recognizes that we are in this together (left right) we are never going to beat this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanDe680 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 If I remember, the UK hired an additional 10k people to help administer the vaccine. Of course, we didn't take this approach. We're now under operation tortoise when it comes to administering this. I'm not really sure what warp speed did - Pfizer and Moderna had the vaccine variant developed prior to the formation of warp speed. Sure the FDA fast tracked it, but not sure what else happened besides that. The speed should have come in the administration. It doesn't help to have it available not being put to use. We need more people to give it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluoronium Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm not sure if "irrelevant" is the right word considering the higher infectivity and at least some ability to evade antibody neutralization. It's certainly not the biggest issue in the near term though, considering the virus (regardless of strain) is looking like it's going to run through most people before they have a chance at getting a vaccine.
