I have a few family members who just simply don't care, regardless of the statistics or personal anecdotes you share with them. This pandemic has brought out the worst (and occasionally best) in people. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s absolutely insane, I’d be outraged. That’s dangerous. Worst flu I had I got to 104. Certainly not touching that vaccine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely we'd be seeing doctors, nurses, and other people whose occupations have required wearing a mask prior to covid dropping dead from lung cancer left and right. Anyway, there's a solution to any mask concerns. Go get the vaccine so things get under control more quickly and we can get rid of the mask mandates. But I have this strange suspicion that there is a lot of overlap between anti-mask and anti-vax people. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be washed or disposed of regularly or will breed bacteria. I think it is common sense to have multiple masks, most people wear different ones daily. This is no different than wearing the same clothes every day which people don't do. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoosier Posted January 15 Getting tired of giving a platform for the silly nonsense. My natural instinct isn't to rush to muzzle people, but disinformation is a problem. If you don't engage, then there is no chance of changing someone's mind. If you challenge it, then at least there's a small opening. Obviously the twitters and facebooks of the world are grappling with this on an infinitely larger scale. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoosier Posted January 16 The Norway story will get the anti-vax crowd going. There may need to be some rethinking on whether to give it to very frail nursing home residents. The thing is, IF what sounds like fairly typical vaccine side effects were enough to push some people off the cliff, what do you think covid would have done to them? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoosier Posted January 16 IHME updated with 566k deaths by May 1. Daily deaths drop below 1000 after mid-March and down to slightly over 200 per day at the end of April. IHME has had trouble modeling the downside of the curve in the past, but obviously there's a difference this time with more and more vaccinations. Let's hope the numbers come down that fast.

I wouldn't go down to 200 per day, but could we get down to 1000 by say May? I think so. Maybe even 500 or less during the summer. If the vaccine can be distributed much quicker then less.

This whole thing has really made weather seem a lot less awe-inspiring (that combined with the extended period of atmospheric suckitude in the central CONUS). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
