Thank you for being a voice of reason. The rollout has about as much to do with Trump as he had with developing the vaccine. He pushed to speed the approval process but the vaccine would have been developed if there wasn't anybody serving as President.
Right, just shows the poor communication and planning this government put into getting this right. He said she said is not a good look and it could have been avoided with communication.
My point was, things happen in life that are simply unfair and it hurts just as bad no matter the alleged cause. Driving under the influence is MUCH MORE DANGEROUS AND RECKLESS, than walking through a grocery store without a mask.
So her arm, shoulder, and the side of her neck hurt. She was pretty tired the last couple days; some of that could be blamed on having kids, though. Back at work today and seems fine overall.
You should experiment with various forms of "contact!"
What evidence do you have to make claims that deaths are of an alleged cause? Accuse people of commit a crime is a serious accusation and one for which you should provide some evidence. Can we start accusing you of crimes since you seem okay accusing others?
I believe the point being made is that a random single person driving impaired is more dangerous to others than a random single person walking through a store without a mask.
I get regular allergy shots, and since covid, they ask you stay in the office for 30 minutes or go to your car. If I was getting the Covid vaccine I would most certainly do this, a minimum of 30 minutes in case of a reaction. I'd do your research and make sure that wherever you intend to get the shot, make sure they are prepared to handle any allergic reactions.
That’s true, but so what? A random person detonating an explosive device in a crowded building is more dangerous than a random single person driving impaired so should we just make drunk driving legal because there are more dangerous things someone could do? I don’t get this mentality at all. Why are people so hell bent on downplaying Covid. It’s a deadly disease that has killed over 300K Americans in 9 months. There’s no need to compare it to anything else.
And of all the restrictions put in place, wearing a mask is the easiest one to follow. I've been wearing a mask since March as my job requires it and it's second nature now.
Masks have very little impact on the economy too. Stores are open now because of masks, same with factories, doctor’s offices and theme parks. If anything you could say without masks our economy would likely be in a lot worse shape.
He is very clearly a 6%er, now twice referring to deaths as only a guess and alleged.
You lost me on this reply. I did not accuse anyone of anything. I do agree with your numbers, 10k is less than 300k,
After 4 years of loyalty, and a willingness to break traditional protocols being prized above competence, I don’t know how we can say with certainty that the career types that know what to do are the career types in the driver’s seat. The standard of the last 4 years, and COVID in particular has been about sidelining important voices. The amount of institutional knowledge and talent that has been allowed to leave or actively forced out... I don’t think we will have any idea of how deep it goes until months after the new sheriff arrives. Why shouldn’t the trickledown effects be any different regarding this, than it’s been about anything else?
And if it were just one-tenth of a person hopping through a store without a mask, it would be even 10 times less risky!!
A store perhaps, but 1 person showed up at the Biogen conference infected which lead to 300,000 cases, seeding the infection in multiple locales. Show me any drunk driving incident that leads to that. With a drunk driver the driver gets off the road eventually. Chain stops in its tracks. Either without incident, harming only himself, or involving a small number of vehicles. People unable to imagine the cascade of effects that could follow their singular action is a big part of why we’re in such a hole.
You have repeatedly made references to the "deaths with COVID" nonsense, most recently by claiming deaths are "educated" guesses complete with the scare quote and alleged. That point you keep harping on can only be true of there is widespread fraud, a crime.
If all the kinks aren’t worked out on a few weeks, and people are blaming any and all hiccups on Alzheimer’s/dementia in the Oval Office, we’ll know the career types are in the drivers seat and doing their best.
At the highest levels the key players are political appointees but the bulk of the heavy lifting is being done by career CDC and military staff. These are people who existed in their roles prior to the current administration and will continue after. Here’s a pretty good write-up of the Warp Speed process. The issue that occurred seemed to be around bad information in the Tiberius software used to allocate doses. When the errors were corrected the doses previously allocated to each state were reduced resulting in governors complaining. The political appointees at HHS then tried to pin the issue on Pfizer and the company rejected that allegation and said they have no manufacturing issues.
