At least he is a legit snow-bird resident. I don't have a problem with them vaccinating the residents. I do take issue when they honor international vaccination tourism with their policies.Florida vs NY
Former NYS Dem Party head gets vaccinated — in Florida
It’s all going south. A former head of New York state Democratic Party has already received his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine — no thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. John Sullivan, wh…nypost.com
I agree. I have no problem with snowbirds, even if they are here for a few months a year. Soon most states should be vaccinating the same groups and there will be less incentive.
Desantis using logic!?!
I have the same problem with Rammstein. Rescheduled from 9/2020 to 9/2021. Now 2021 is postponed with date TBD. Can't bring myself to get a refund.
You mean we have jobs...and children....yeah sorry for the inconvenience.
Don’t do it. I’m having the same problem. Saw them 2 times.. it’s worth the wait.
Of course, your children still need to visit grandmama during the blitz.
Agreed. Just keep hanging in there for Rammstein. FANTASTIC concert
No one was discouraging from learning from real news sources. Just to be discerning and don't believe every title you read. Not all sources are equal. Some try to cause fear. As stated one source was not reliable but more sensational. Some people do it for fame, or hits on their sites.
It’s not really about Covid being worse one place or another. The process of traveling overnight, out of state and especially by airplane puts most people into many more situations where they are exposed to additional strangers than staying home. In a simplified example, I’m from PA, so if I fly to Orlando and stay at WDW for 7 nights I have public contact at the airport in Philly, on the plane, at the airport in Orlando, on the bus to my hotel, each day at the theme parks and on transport to and from, 3 meals a day at restaurants and any time I spend in common areas of the hotel. That’s a lot of public contact. If you compare that to a local in Orlando visiting WDW for the same 7 days. They have no airport contact, no public transport assuming they drive in, maybe they eat 1 meal a day at the parks, they likely spend less time overall and no time in common spaces of a hotel. Overall, a small fraction of the total public contact. So while PA and FL may have similar amounts of community spread, that’s not the issue with traveling. It’s the amount of time spent in public contact.
In 2 weeks when the new variant has been lab tested against the existing vaccines we will have actual knowledge to learn and share. Until then it’s just speculation and as you said a sensationalized, clickbait headline suggesting the vaccines won’t work. If history repeats itself as it did multiple times so far this year we won’t have an issue, if this one turns out to be resistant to the vaccine it will be one of the biggest news stories of the year and a huge problem.
Its not just a matter of paying attention to new variants solely for the vaccine. As someone mentioned before, they are worried about catching it because they are immunocompromised and won't get vaccinated for a while. Another example of why its important to pay attention to variants is that here in LA a new variant has been discovered. LA has seen unbelievable exponential growth, and while some evade the guidelines, its still been a mystery why we just exploded the way we did. This discovery of the new variant, may hold the answer.
That’s a fair point. I’m almost positive these new variants are all already in the US. It goes a long way towards explaining the explosion in cases in certain areas. We probably should have had a hard quarantine for anyone returning from international sites but it’s too late to change that now.
Though the mRNA vaccine makers said it's easy to adjust to. That's part of why mRNA is such a huge breakthrough.
True but also, other friends in CA say they can easily see why spread is happening. You have a lot of non compliance even in the news here. So is it a new strand? Is it Kirk Cameron type idiots? Is it anti-science people ignoring? Or is it some of all. So while yes, it can be important I think the key is to keep the fear in check too. It's a balance to be made.
654,013 people 65 and over have received at least one dose (approximately 14.5% of that population).
Tylenol is not an anti-inflammatory, so it should be OK. The advice not to pre-load with OTC pain medications is specifically for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen and naproxen. This advice is based on some evidence (not the strongest evidence, admittedly) in other vaccines that pre-loading may lower the effectiveness of the vaccine.
