I’ve never said that. Ever. You must be confusing my posts with someone else’s.

I got "you have a fever, you have to go home" I can use a vacation day to get paid.
Not exactly the most inspiring method when some people don't have vacation days to use.
Today, I am going to start with a rant against Florida. Why are you letting all those college spting break fools do what they are doing. The Florida numbers are now 23 per 100,000. Something needs to be done to stop that.
Now on the other end of the numbers are the 10 worst states in the country as far ad Covid19 goes. Guess who they are? 9 of the 10 are all contiguous, with the exception being number 2 Michigan. NJ, NY, RI, CT, MS, PA, VT, NH, and DE. DE is at 25 and every other state is at 23 or less. Now not all is horrible because 11 states are in single digits and 25 are in the 10's but thanks to the top 10 the country is moving on the wrong direction. We are going to get over this so please follow the standard protocols and we will can get over this in just weeks. WASH YOUR HANDS, WEAR A MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCE. It's easy and if we all do this and take the vaccine we will be back to normal in May.

They have substituted washing your hands ( basic hygiene ) with get vaccinated. I wonder how they might move the goal post once 70 to 80 percent get vaccinated? @Sirwalterraleigh Any thoughts?

If we get 80% vaccinations I’ll do flips out on my front lawn, and I can’t do a flip. That would be tremendous.

you need to do both...seems to be the common sense conclusion.
I don’t see if happening. It’s the new defiance/stupidity thing to tout

bad choices aside...Florida is at the will of the tourist. It was always going to be touch and go with them.
it was designed that way since 1955...can’t put spots on the zebra now.
as for the northeast, any easing of restrictions is producing the wrong trend. But nobody wants to accept that. So here we go. It’s all on the vaccine...unfortunately.
here’s the deal with that: the states that are closer to 30% vaccinated lean one way politically at this point...with a few exceptions. Those that are between 20-25% go the other way. It’s too early to tell...but that’s a bad trend worth keeping an eye on.

Does PASC ("long COVID") improve after vaccination?
www.medscape.com
These are just anecdotes, though, so take them with a hefty grain of salt. However, ideas for medical research usually begins with anecdotal evidence, so following this will be interesting.
The autoantibody theory sounds more likely to me than the idea that COVID-19 continues to replicate at low levels.
All the more reason to get vaccinated. I realize that I'm preaching to the choir here, because despite the many disagreements about policies and practices surrounding COVID-19, the few real anti-vaxers that lingered here have apparently gone into hiding.
Some With Long COVID See Relief After Vaccination
Advocacy groups and physicians see symptoms improve after vaccination of patients with long-lasting COVID-19.

The other day, I mentioned scientists’ concerns about certain variants and was met with accusations of being alarmist. Just to be clear, I’m sharing the article below not to fuel worry or pessimism, but because I think it’s important we understand what scientists themselves are saying in relation to these variants and how they intersect with our vaccination efforts.

I do think there needs to be a little more context to the increases. More than half the states have an increase this week vs last week, not a great short term trend, but the increase is still well below levels we were at in Dec/Jan and in most cases around or slightly lower than where we were at 3/1. Is it bad news that cases stopped dropping? Yes, but I think people are forgetting how high they got in the Winter compared to Summer/Fall. So if a month from now we surge back to anywhere close to the January peaks that‘s tragic, but I do think the vaccines can at least partially bail us out. Would it be better if everyone could just hold on for a little while longer until we get more people vaccinated? Yes, of course, but that ship has sailed. It’s hopefully only going to delay the timing of a return to normal if cases spike now and we get everyone vaccinated in a few months. It will just take a little longer to flatline cases.

The mentioned states authorities (cough, cough) have made poor choices / decisions and they are going to stick with them, regardless!

We will have to wait and see his things go. It started with the two week shutdown to stop the spread and that was a year ago. It’s been you have to do this and now you have to do this.
The media made this political with their doom and gloom reporting every single day. Then Joe gets in office and it all changes.

You really think this has all changed? The single sidedness I see politically astounds me. The media didn't make it political, our politicians did.
2 weeks was never to stop the spread either. To not overwhelm the healthcare system. We failed on that pretty big.

Joe nothing he is not helpful. The doom and gloom folks are still running around as vocal as ever. Same folks that were loud about Y2K and the Mayan calendar. It is almost as if there is some kind of perverse satisfaction to spreading fear.

You mean scientists, doctors, and the CDC?
Umm, those people have mostly become cautiously optimistic at worst.

I think that was the point
I get they are cautious totally but some I guess want everything to open and if you don't it's negative?
